TOKYO (Reuters) -Young skaters from Japan and Britain soared to victory in the women's park competition on Wednesday, with hometown heroes Sakura Yosozumi and Kokona Hiraki cinching gold and silver, while Britain's Sky Brown took bronze. Wednesday's result meant that Japan has so far swept three out of four gold medals in skateboarding's Olympic debut. The men's park competition, the final skateboarding event in Tokyo, takes place on Thursday. Yosozumi, whose first name in Japanese means cherry blossom, told reporters she was focused on riding three perfect runs in the finals. Fellow Japanese skater Hiraki, 12, also showed smooth runs throughout the day's competition, beating Britain's Brown, who was the favourite to win the event.
