home. any portion of us are now in the world right now. climate change event story . this is my place, the way from just one week. how much work can really get we still have time to work. i'm doing all with his subscriber all morning. he was like oh oh oh oh, i mean,

i used to be able to do it with my family, my comments, my little sister's escape word or 2 semester on this. that was really cool. then now i see skateboarding is simply a sports in which there are no rules. you're kind of free and get a dance of his fries and can. lili's to fuzzy us became the youngest sports woman in german olympic history to make the national team a natural born border. genius or from from yard lilies 15 now and has already been in the squad since 2019. all this is tara, this is oh gosh. and by olivia, she was at the tokyo games and his way up there among the world's best buy and baker soon, but inform cummins on at 1st it was primarily about the fun rather than competing as well. and so i started getting better and better and worse, and when i became german champion there was no beating me best in germany. second,

that the european championships answered at the world championships all while still in her teens. and now she's looking forward to her next olympics. although there's 1st the minor matter of securing qualification. the goal is to conduct the the biggest contest is the world championship in real button view. also because it's the most important meets when it comes to qualifying for parallel products, you get fuel event through a, please. ah, up out of the subway and straight on to her board to the skate park. lily has joined other german olympic hopefuls for training in sweden. why here in my more unlike in germany, there's a range of skate parks with conditions similar to those international meet. lily's father accompanied her on the journey north, but he's now gone back home. that's

a new situation for her. does that all of my lead time? not having my parents here means i have to find things out for myself. for me, there was a may, i often was, there is a lot more that i have to keep in mind tank and that i might forget to sag there's nobody to remind me of things or say, carry my backpack for me. i have to take care of everything myself. alas, i line and manage, and most this is only happened once before. still lilies got used to going abroad for training or competitions. although she is still a minor over her and, and she's far from the only one in the skateboarding scene, the 2020 olympic champ from japan was just 13. when she won golds germany's head coach, yoga and hormone had known lily for years. he used to be

a pro border and like lily lives in berlin, which is where he coaches this exceptional talent together with her dad oliver than orleans does. this is of you and phone when all he's not there. so it's definitely different than it is. she has a slightly different mindset of moses. i guess she feels more relax between local it's just her an asset that she's a bit more liberated from those family structures on speaking from you and talk to her and being a need of for her to miss. i unheard means of ada tides . i'm going for an hour, but feel scared and don't know whether to commit its clue this month for a few hours ovens. and that is actually crucial here. you're really trying to get up here, which is why you're changing your twist. for in this to sunday, but jumping really high here, want him to write in the latest thing. rushed us the semester, the concern for another we come in on monday. you but i did at least make it this. i'm not, i'm, if you're right,

if we're from of the coach knows the next couple of years will be pivotal. oh yeah . says missing of braxton is going to be tricked as long as it is grown up a bit and is gradually getting more strength of info for escaping has changed since we were in tokyo i near her she's made huge leaps forward since then and there's a lot more to complicated, marcia, she'll have more hot in her ears and more pace to us. ian boat years with maria green, billionaires and saudi with the with meg finished her. her 2020. so skateboarding make it said name pick debut in tokyo, lily narrowly missed out on the final, but just being there gave her a massive confidence based. and now her focus is very much on the world championships in rio de janeiro a few months from now. i lemon das, whatever. if you finish in the top 3, you can relax a little, i know you've qualified for the olympics. that's what i am concentrating on right now in pres orders. houghton mccalla, my son concentrated on too much pressure for a teenager. not in her case for lily,

the fun factor and performance go hand in hand. as is the case with a lot of people in the skateboarding scene. although not everyone has such a relaxed set up the i'd, sooner sooner than a kid student, there are kids who are pushed to make it big in the us. it when it was out as or but then they don't go to school and only get home schooling she will again, didn't homeschooling, become so. negotiations been i'm not sure that's the right way. there is to get big as musician. mention even are these kids getting properly prepared to lock in society outside skate boarding, gayden? ah, back in berlin lilies training program involves up to 4 sessions a week, but she's not neglecting her schooling. we join her and her little sister on their way home. really has good grades which matters a lot to her family to and the the sport lamb can

scans. i have other athletes with completely different and really problematic set ups m laughlin, i skaters or swimmers on where they're training every day at the age of 6 or 7 fine hyphen pover, her m bentley leader lily trained once or twice away her. and that makes a difference in dover dust mother. so he does not want a sheep mom and her dad used to be a skateboarder himself. he 1st had lily on the board at the tender age of 12 months . oliver started coaching her when she was 5 1st once a week and then progressively more until her appearance at the 2020 olympics, which most people at her school didn't know about highly elses. or sometimes they ask about how she or i feel during the competitions and our ha, but i don't find it annoying. no rule. as mentioned. you know,

some teachers might know because the reading the news. but your average pupil has no idea who i am. and there's a similar lack of fast when it comes to training preparations with her father instead of rigid rules. the focus is more on creative freedom in humor, lee. yeah, i normally have a plan for which will occur to me when i go to bed. and while i'm sleeping alpha for you know, do you know the all think of this or that trick that we can do and wasn't very funny. it's is if we have no plan as well though there's certainly no yearly regina alice planned. the harbor would as was oliver is a quantity of resource should if you normally schools over a quarter past 3, be some few and after eating something, she starts her session at 5 without having had a break. always

a good job doing the so she has a little sleep while we're on the way there. and then we're busy until around $730.00. so we back home at 8 or $830.00 more into work london, gibbs and after dinner, it's time for homework. so she does have a pretty full schedule on commission. so there's news just in from rio about disagreements between the world skate voting association. and the prism in organizes the event is no longer either a world championship or an olympic qualifying. but for lily, it's about defending her title from 2021 in a country where the sport enjoys a different status. down on the copa gabana scape booting is far more popular than in europe. ah, yes. of scathing grace with a brazilian audience. because they just love this for and are so supportive.

however good or bad you are. so it's always amazing to come here to see as far as like some of them. some brazilian skate styles have instagram followings in the millions. the kind of appreciation that you don't see in europe, the line up in rio is absolutely top class d, as in romeo t messner for an investment, it's really the criminal, a crown is got in and, and with the women in particular, the level is really shut up over the past year. so missouri, steve, i hope you can see things developing on practically a week by week basis by the invest noise machine. it's easy to forget that competitors like lillius, still essentially kids making the presence of their parents all the more important . drowsy or not? so yoga her age makes the organizational side just as important. what she was was i know there's all making sure she gets 2 or 3 hot meals a day that there's enough money gave wagner. and that she makes it to training on

timing. just doesn't english one of those boosters. yeah, i'm sure she's here with the german team, but they're all adults and not necessarily responsive to the needs of the 15 year old. so in bettendorf, the brit officer at oven to the rio turns out to be challenging in various ways. in addition to seemingly incessant rain, the training runs keep getting postponed. often till late in the evening classes. lily had a high temperature even before leaving germany, but she did then get off to a good start. one run last was 45 seconds with skaters rated by speed, creativity. the difficulty delivery an range of tricks and their era counts with lilly is known for her stealing nerves. ah, the trials and tribulations don't seem to get to her. except then a brief but faithful lapse of concentration. ah, perhaps it was all

a bit too much for the youngster with the might of tea. my teammates were all in hospital after getting injured, so the mood was a bit down. and i was already sick anyway, and got slammed on the day of the contest. i saw there were a lot of factors against me and i had to put in my absolute safety run woman up. so still finishing intent was way more than i imagined with deemed seen it. so this was here to conduct center and there weren't any qualification points on the line this time anyway. although for lily, it's not just about the indian pics. language. i'm not aiming for one particular contest. the student that called us as a sure the olympics are probably the biggest thing out there. so does all of us that i just want to carry on skating well together with my friends going from contest to contest and maybe some day turning pro pro skates of add on fun, perhaps prize money and sponsorship deals will mean i can earn a living for
