Four Australians elected to World Skate Athletes’ Commission

Four Australians have been elected to the World Skate Athletes’ Commission. 

Two-time downhill skateboarding World Champion Harry Clarke will be joined by Taj Shambrook, Jaidyn York and Tommy Fynn who were all appointed as athlete representatives following the 2026 election process.

The appointments provide Australia with strong representation, with the quartet bringing a wealth of experience and diverse perspectives from across the sport community.

Clarke claimed gold at the World Skate Games in Paraguay, defending his title won in Italy and is a well respected member of the downhill community. 

Scooter standout Taj Shambrook continues his rise as one of Australia's highly touted talents, while Tommy Fynn brings extensive experience from the international skateboarding scene.

Jaidyn York will represent Australia in the Derby cluster, completing the four Australian representatives elected across the 11 sport clusters.

World Skate has confirmed 24 athlete representatives from 17 countries have been elected to the Athletes’ Commission, which provides a platform for athletes to have a voice in the organisation and contribute to discussions surrounding the development and future of roller sports.

The full 2026 Athletes’ Commission Election Results report, including the elected representatives by sport cluster and details of electoral adjustments, is available at the World Skate website.
