TORONTO — Fourteen-year-old Fay De Fazio Ebert has been named to the Canadian skateboarding team for the Paris Olympics.

The roster, announced Wednesday by Canada Skateboard and the Canadian Olympic Committee, also includes Miles Berger of Kamloops, BC, Ryan Decenzo of Delta, BC, and Cordano Russell of London, Ont.

Toronto’s Fazio Ebert will likely become the youngest participant in Canada’s Olympic delegation. She won a gold medal in the women’s park event at the 2023 Santiago Pan American Games.

Berger, the only member with previous Olympic experience, will compete in the men’s street event for the second consecutive year. His best performance in the event came in 2021, when he finished sixth at the World Skateboard Championships.
