After clinching the gold medal in the women's park event at the Olympics, 14-year-old Arisa Trew had a unique request for her parents - a pet duck. Trew, who made history as Australia's youngest Olympic champion, shared that she had negotiated with her parents for the unusual prize.
Despite initial hesitation from her mother, Trew's victory secured her the promise of a duck. She excitedly mentioned her plans to take her new feathered friend to the skate park and on walks.
However, beyond the quirky gift, Trew expressed immense gratitude for her parents' unwavering support. She highlighted their dedication, recalling late-night trips to the skate park and their constant encouragement throughout her training.
Having her parents present in Paris to witness her triumph meant the world to Trew. Their presence symbolized the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice, with Trew acknowledging their pivotal role in her success.
Furthermore, Trew's skateboarding community, Level Up, showed their solidarity by camping out at the skate park to cheer her on during the competition. Their unwavering support and camaraderie added an extra layer of significance to Trew's historic achievement.
As Trew basks in the glory of her Olympic victory, she remains grounded by the love and support of her family and friends. Her story serves as a testament to the power of dedication, passion, and a strong support system in achieving one's dreams.
