Questions 37–42
In many ways, Charlotte Wardell is just like many other 13-year-olds: she likes going to the
cinema and spending time online. In her back garden, however, there’s a full-size skateboard
track called a half-pipe. Charlotte practises on it every day, and other local skateboarders
come to use it and to learn from her. ‘She’s almost as good at teaching as she is on the
skateboard,’ says Emily, Charlotte’s mother.
Charlotte’s older brother, Jonny, is the reason she started skateboarding. When Jonny first
became interested in skateboarding, he’d let her go to the park with him and use his
skateboard. Before long, she was able to do better tricks than Jonny and started beating him
in competitions. Jonny has now become the cameraperson for his sister, filming her as she
skateboards at big events.
Charlotte’s list of achievements is already long. Aged eleven, she became the youngest
competitor ever at the women’s national skateboard championship. At thirteen, she won the
same event, becoming the youngest ever winner. ‘I knew I had a good chance of winning. It
was close, but I did it!’ explains Charlotte. A few days later, Jonny uploaded his film of her
taking part. Charlotte says, ‘Strangers kept coming up to me and saying, “I saw an online
video of you skateboarding.” I couldn’t believe it!’ She’s also the only female winner of a local
Athlete of the Year award.
So what about the future? ‘I’m sure skateboarding will become more popular now it’s in the
Olympic Games,’ says Charlotte. ‘It’d be amazing to take part in an event like that and I’m
sure I’m good enough. I can’t imagine having to work to make money to live on and only
being able to skateboard in my free time. I actually can’t wait to finish school so I can spend
even more time doing what I really love.’
