PARIS — Fay De Fazio Ebert squeezed her mom's hand, and then went for it.
The 14-year-old skateboarder and youngest athlete on Canada's Olympic team in Paris had briefly considered playing it safe and leaving the kickflip indy out of her third and final pass through the skate park Tuesday.
De Fazio Ebert opted for the higher degree of difficulty of flipping the board over in the air and grabbing it before landing on it again.
Canada's lone female skateboarder in Paris missed the move and didn't produce a score on her third and final run to get into the top eight finalists.
