At 15 years old Poppy Olsen, who is also known as Poppy Starr, competes as a professional skateboarder and is considered one of the sport’s brightest talents in Australia. In January this year she won the Vans Girls Combi Pool Classic in California, her first pro contest, and the biggest victory of her young career. The classic is a world cup event and one of the most prestigious in the world. Poppy was the second-youngest competitor to ever win and only the second Australian to claim a world cup skateboarding event!
