The Aussie teen handpicked by Tony Hawk to be in his new video game
At 15 years old, Chloe Covell is already a decorated skater, with an Olympic debut in Paris last year, five X Games gold medals and four Street League Skateboarding wins. But she admits her latest accolade is 'definitely a unique one'. The Gold Coast teenager has been handpicked by skateboarding legend Tony Hawk to be a playable character in the new Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 video game – the only female Australian skater to feature. 'I got invited to LA to do all the filming stuff and had all the green dots on me [for CGI]. It was pretty cool,' Covell said. 'Just to get all the shots of my face and stuff, I had to sit in this big octagon full of cameras. And I had to bring down a few outfits to wear so they could shoot them for when I'm on the game.' Covell wasn't even born when the original game came out in 1999. But, as her mum Julie said: '[Hawk] must have noticed or saw something unique about Chloe that would have been an asset to the game.' Covell is one of eight new characters in the game, along with Yuto Horigome, Jamie Foy, Zion Wright, Margie Didal, Rayssa Leal, Aurelien Giraud and Nora Vasconcellos. Australian skater Shane O'Neill also makes his return, having first appeared in the 2020 release. There are also a number of returning veterans, including Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Rune Glifberg and Kareem Campbell. One of Covell's latest victories was at the X Games in Osaka three weeks ago, where her final run was so perfect the commentators suggested she looked like she was in a video game.
