Guilherme Khury (born 18 December 2008) is a Brazilian skateboarder. He is the first person to land a 1080 (three full revolutions) on a vertical ramp and the youngest person to win a gold medal at the X-Games.[2][3]
Khury previously held the record for being the youngest person ever to land a 900, which he landed at age 8 (later broken by Ema Kawakami). He holds the record for being the youngest person to compete at the X Games at the age of 10 years and 7 months.
In 2020, he was officially awarded two Guinness World Records for being the Youngest X Games Athlete and for the first 1080 on a vert ramp,[4] followed by a third in 2021 for being the youngest male X-Games gold medalist.[5]
