Olympic Skateboarding 2024: Women's Park Medal Winners and Results
August 6, 2024
Arisa Trew won Tuesday's park skateboarding final at the 2024 Paris Games to become the youngest Olympic gold medalist in Australian history.
The 14-year-old finished with a top score of 93.18 in her final run to become the first Australian woman to claim skateboarding gold.
Japan's Cocona Hiraki claimed her second silver medal in the event, while Great Britain's Sky Brown earned her second bronze.
The full order of finish is below.
Women's park final results
- Arisa Trew, Australia: 93.18
- Cocona Hiraki, Japan: 92.63
- Sky Brown, Great Britain: 92.31
- Dora Varella, Brazil: 89.14
- Heili Sirvio, Finland: 88.89
- Bryce Wettstein, United States: 88.12
- Naia Laso, Spain: 86.28
- Hinano Kusaki, Japan: 69.76
Defending Olympic champion Sakura Yosozumi of Japan was eliminated in the preliminary round.
This is not the first time this year Trew has made skateboarding history. In May she posted a clip of her becoming the the first woman to land a 900, a two-and-a-half rotation spin.
The accomplishment came less than a year after Trew became the first female skateboarder to land a 720, necessitating two full spins, in competition.
Her gold medal-winning run included a 360 as well as the front flip and 540 known as the McTwist, per Samantha Wong of NBCOlympics.com.
Hiraki, who led qualifiers, topped the standings after the first run with 91.98 points before she was unseated by Trew and Brown.
She put up an even stronger run on her third attempt to climb back into position for the silver medal.
Brown earned bronze despite dislocating her shoulder days before competition, and suffering an apparently painful fall on the shoulder during her second run of the preliminary run.

Brown said on Instagram ahead of the competition that she was "not 100%" and would need to undergo surgery on her shoulder following the final.
Despite those limitations, Brown completed the comeback with a strong third run that clinched her a place on the podium. The 16-year-old will now add a second bronze to her collection after becoming the youngest Olympic medalist in Team Great Britain's history during her debut at the Games in 2021.
