Australia’s Arisa Trew scored a 93.18 on her final run to take the gold medal in women’s park skateboarding at the Paris Olympics. The 14-year-old Trew was in third place before she executed a superb third run, highlighted by a 540 — which is making 1½ rotations in midair — to vault into first. Japan’s Cocona Hiraki won silver with a 92.

“On my first run, I fell on one of the tricks that I had been landing like every time,” she said. “So that was kind of annoying. So I just knew it was all or nothing after that because I just had to land a really good run just to make it into the podium. And on my third run I had to secure my spot, so I just brought everything out.”
“I think a moment like that means more than the world, but the universe,” she said. “A lot of times I feel like it’s hard when you don’t get something exactly that you planned and then you see it in every possible perspective and say: ‘Wow, I am grateful for that.’ So I think it means everything to me.”
“The feelings I had this time were different,” she said. “There were a lot of spectators, and I really wanted to defend my title. I was more nervous than last time, which affected my performance. My body didn’t move as I wanted, and I couldn’t do everything I planned.”
