Melissa Williams

Melissa Williams (born 12 June 1985) is a South African skateboarder.

She competed in the women's park event at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and was the oldest woman participating in skateboarding at the Games. In her mid-twenties, she lived in London for three years and, as she described, "spent a lot of time skating all the incredible bowls, snake runs, and [skate]parks that England has to offer." She is not a professional skateboarder but rather skates for fun, in addition to surfing regularly. When asked if there is anything she still wants to achieve, considering all she has already accomplished, Williams responded, "…there is so much cool stuff to do in this life. I want to do it all."
