Teenager Arisa Trew’s star continues to rise after the Australian skateboarder won gold in the women’s park final at the Olympic qualifier series in Shanghai. The 14-year-old, who is bidding to win a place at the Games later this year, now sits in second place in the world rankings and in a strong position to stamp her ticket to Paris.
She said coming up against athletes such as the Japanese is helping raise the level of skating, as competition heats up with just two months to go before the Olympics get under way. “I’m just really happy with how I went each day here and I’m really happy with the result I got today. I guess my secret is just to try my best, to have fun and then just commit to everything in the competition.
