Ten-year-old Roxana Howlett wins national skateboarding title with routine in her back garden

Young skateboarding star Roxane Howlett has won a national title - despite the event being cancelled.

Howlett picked up the 2020 Skateboard England trophy by submitting a routine in her back garden on Instagram.

The tournament was due to take place in Manchester last weekend but was cancelled due to the coronavirus. Organisers urged athletes to send them a recording of a routine on social media.

The ten-year-old created a course in her back garden and although she did not pick up Olympic qualifying points, she did win prize money.

Alex deCunha took first place in the male category.
