Youngest-ever Olympic medalist wins gold in skateboarding final

Arisa Trew, a 14-year-old teenager, made history after she shattered the 68 years of Olympic drought and became Australia’s youngest-ever Olympic medallist and the youngest gold medallist in the Summer Games.

That record had stood for 68 years, going all the way back to Melbourne in 1956, when Sandra Morgan won the gold medal in the women's 4x100m freestyle relay.

Morgan had been 14 years and 184 days old then – 94 days older than Trew.

As the judges and audience graced her stunning moves in skateboarding, Trew won the gold medal at the Place de la Concorde in Paris, France. 

The 14-year-old young lady grinned as she popped out of the bowl, with her smile as striking as her statement hot-pink helmet.

With her final go, Trew landed an imperious line peppered with 540s and a stunning front nose blunt on the box grab 180 out to finish.

The teenage gold medalist scored 93.18 on her final run.

Now, Trew says she expressed her desire  to compete in the L.A Olympics in 2028.
