Arisa Trew Wins Gold at Paris Olympics

Australian teen Arisa Trew made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics by becoming the youngest Australian to win a medal, securing gold in women's park skateboarding with a score of 93.18. Trew's final run, highlighted by a 540 trick, propelled her from third to first place, surpassing Japan's Cocona Hiraki who took silver and Great Britain's Sky Brown who won bronze despite a shoulder injury. Trew, who began skateboarding at age 8, was inspired by her surfing background and has been a trailblazer in women's skateboarding. Her victory was celebrated at a sun-drenched Place de la Concorde, with the audience, including Tony Hawk, cheering her on. As a reward for her achievement, Trew has requested a pet duck from her parents.
