7: Dreams come Trew

Australian skateboarding sensation Arisa Trew, just 14, won the women's park event to become her country's youngest ever gold medalist.

Trew nailed a high-risk and highspeed final round in her trademark pink helmet, bringing the crowd to their feet at a sun-drenched Place de la Concorde.

The event also featured 11-year-old Zheng Haohao, the youngest athlete ever to represent China at the Olympics.

"Skateboarding in the Olympic Games isn't much different from skateboarding in my neighborhood," she told reporters.

"It's just more spectators."
