Skateboarder Arisa Trew says some magical advice from her coach helped her create 'insane' history as Australia's youngest Olympic gold medallist.
Aged 14 years and 86 days, Arisa Trew won the women's park in Paris on Tuesday to eclipse Australia's previous youngest medallist, swimmer Sandra Morgan. Morgan was 14 years and 184 days old when she won gold in the women's 4x100m freestyle relay at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. "I got told by a few people that I'm Australia's youngest gold medallist, which is, like, pretty insane," Trew said.
"I always knew that, like, I wanted to be here and, like, podium and just, like, win," she said. "Because after the first Olympics, that really inspired me, like, watching all the girls, and it pushed me to just want to be here. Australia have broken the men's team pursuit world record on day two of the Olympic track cycling program. That sets up a gold-medal ride on Wednesday at 10.
