Skateboarder Arisa Trew has become Australia’s youngest Olympic gold medallist by winning the women’s park final in Paris. Aged 14 years and 86 days, Trew eclipses 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 . Trew has captured Australia’s 14th gold medal of the Paris Games in stunning style. She recorded a top-scoring run of 93.
Fellow Australian skateboarder Ruby Trew, no relation to Arisa, failed to make the final. Arisa Trew is the youngest on Australia’s team in Paris and the nation’s seventh-youngest Olympian in history. Trew’s sensational final run reaped gold, with the Cairns-born skater moving up from the bronze medal position. The gold medal for Trew, who started skateboarding seven years ago, follows her winning this year’s Laureus World Sports Award for Action Sportsperson of the Year.
