Hayley Wilson (born 29 October 2001) is a goofy-footed Australian skateboarder from Mansfield, Victoria, Australia.[2][3]

Skateboarding career

Wilson is currently the Australian Skateboarding League's national champion, holding the title for four consecutive years, 2016–2019.[3][2]

Wilson competed in the 2019 Street League Skateboarding Championship - London, placing second with a score of 26.2, finishing above Alexis Sablone, Letícia Bufoni, Rayssa Leal, and other skaters but behind Brazilian Pamela Rosa.[4][5]

In July 2021, Wilson was named as part of Australia's inaugural Olympic skateboarding team to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.[6] In the preliminary round, she tied French skater Charlotte Hym with a total score of 5.34, but was awarded sole possession of sixteenth place via the tie-breaking protocol by virtue of her higher best run score. Hym was placed seventeenth in the final rankings.[7][8] Full details are in Skateboarding at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Women's street.
