Arisa Trew and Chloe Covell skate in the Women’s Skateboard Street at the X Games California.VENTURA, California—A pair of 13-year-old Australian skateboarding prodigies won their first gold medals at the X Games on Saturday, and a 10-year-old Canadian became the youngest medalist in the action sports event’s history.
Covell became the youngest winner in the X Games’ street skating discipline by beating a strong field including Olympic gold medalist Momiji Nishiya of Japan and Brazilian star Leticia Bufoni. Covell already won a bronze medal in Chiba, Japan, and a silver medal in California last year in the X Games, becoming the youngest skater with two podium finishes in the competition’s history.
Trew also appeared in that event in Utah, where she landed the first 720 in competition by a woman. With women’s vert skating now back in the X Games after a 13-year hiatus, Trew repeated the feat in California to win gold.
