Queens of Concrete (2024)

In 2016, Hayley (14), Ava (13), and Charlotte (9) aspired to join the Australian Olympic skateboarding team. With only a few spots left, the pressure to impress the selectors soared. Their journey took unexpected turns. At 16, Ava lost two close friends, shaking her understanding of life. Charlotte, at 13, strived for years but got disqualified from the Games at the last minute. Meanwhile, Hayley faced personal turmoil, grappling with her sexuality and high expectations. Her Olympic performance ended in failure. Approaching the 2024 Paris Olympics, these young women must redefine success and shape their futures. —CJ Welsh
