Skateboarding sensation Poppy Starr Olsen is hoping to make it all the way to the Olympics.
The Tokyo Olympics have been postponed until 2021 and there’s a new raft of sports to make their debut including skateboarding, surfing, karate and rock climbing.

She spoke to Deborah Knight about what it takes to go all the way.
