Confident Tambling is keen to impress at Olympic Games

The 16-year-old, who hails from Saltash, joins Olympic bronze medallist Sky Brown, 15, and 50-year-old Andy MacDonald in Team GB's remarkable skateboarding squad for Paris 2024.

Having booked a ticket to her first Olympics, the youngster prides herself on her ability to balance the demands that come with being a full-time athlete and even is available to pursue her love of all things fashion.

"I love doing photoshoots and I'm so into my fashion," says Tambling. "I did a shoot with Ben Sherman as part of the opening ceremony and that was so fun. Just watching the others who had done a shoot before really inspired me to feel confident and comfortable in my own skin.

"It's a different type of confidence to what I feel on the board, but I love it. I also want to be in a film and do some acting, I think that would be really cool. I am only young, so I still want to just be a teenager."
