Yonhap News

Arisa Trew, born in 2010, has become the youngest medalist at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Trew scored 93.18 points in the women’s park skateboarding finals held at Place de la Concorde in Paris, France, securing the gold medal.

Her competitors, Hiraki Kokona from Japan and Sky Brown from the UK, won silver and bronze medals, resulting in a teenage sweep of the podium.

Brown, who won a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics at the age of 13, has now claimed another bronze medal at this competition at the age of 16.

Notably, at just 14 years and 2 months old, Trew has set the record as the youngest medalist in this event.

Zheng Haohao, born in 2012 and the youngest competitor in all events at this competition, participated in the preliminaries. However, she finished 18th in the preliminaries and did not advance to the finals.
