Britain's 14-year-old Olympic medalist Sky Brown, who was born in Miyazaki, struck gold at the World Championships Skateboard Park competition in Sharjah on Sunday.
It was the first qualifying event for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and Brown's high score of 90.83 was enough to give her the gold medal.
Kokona Hiraki, also 14, was second, while her compatriot and reigning Olympic champion Sakura Yosozumi was third.
"Being on the podium with these guys again is so crazy," Brown said. "I just thought whatever happens I am just going to enjoy it. Landing all my runs was an amazing feeling."
Brown won the bronze in the park competition at the Tokyo Games where she became Britain's youngest summer Olympian.
Hiraki set the record as the youngest-ever Japanese summer Olympian in Tokyo and went on to become the youngest medalist.
In Sharjah, she landed all her tricks in her second of three runs in the final, including a high-difficulty nosegrind with a revert landing.
"I'm happy to have shown everything I wanted to," said Hiraki. "It was fun. Hopefully, I can come up with my best run in the next event as well."
