Aged 14 years and 86 days, Trew won the women’s park in Paris on Tuesday (local time) to eclipse Australia’s previous youngest medallist, swimmer Sandra Morgan.

Morgan was 14 years and 184 days old when she won gold in the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics.

She is also the youngest medallist at the Paris Games.

Cairns-born, Gold Coast-raised Trew sealed her win in Paris with a series of daring tricks highlighted by a 540 – 1½ rotations in midair – which thrilled the sold-out crowd at La Concorde in central Paris.

She scored 93.18 to pip Japan’s Cocona Kiraki (92.63) and Great Britain’s Sky Brown (92.31).

“When I saw the score, I was, like, what? That’s crazy,” Trew said.

Accolades for Trew came thick and fast on Wednesday – even skating legend Tony Hawk praised her in an Instagram post.

But appearing on the Nine Network after her win, Trew had just one, quite humble, request.

“My parents promised if I won the gold medal I would get a pet duck,” she said.

“Because they are really cute. Then I can take it on walks and take it to the skate park.

“My parents definitely wouldn’t let me get a dog or a cat because we are travelling so much right now. But I feel like a duck might be a little bit easier, and … I don’t know, I just want a duck.”

Later, Trew she thought there was hope at last for her pet request because, while her father had always been on board with a duck, her mother had been less keen.

“I said, if I like did win, ‘could I get a duck?’. And she said yes,” a smiling Trew said.

She also revealed that some magical advice from her coach Trevor Ward was key to her creating “insane” history as Australia’s youngest Olympic medallist.

With Trew in the bronze medal position before her third and last run, Ward pulled her aside.

“We’ve got some crazy things that we say to each other and I just said the crazy things that we say – skibidi sigma.

“It’s like a joke that I have with all my friends because, like, it’s just, like, sigma is, like, the top.

“A lot of kids nowadays say that a lot.”

Trew captured Australia’s 14th gold medal of the Paris Games with an audacious and daring final run which received the highest score of the competition.

Her gold-medal feats followed a shaky qualifying session when the Queensland teen qualified for the final ranked six of the eight skaters.

But her triumph continues an eye-catching stretch of form: she won  Olympic qualifying events in Shanghai and Budapest to punch her ticket to  Paris.

The victory for Trew, who started skateboarding seven years ago, follows her winning this year’s Laureus World Sports Award for Action Sportsperson of the Year.

Last year she became the first female skateboarder to successfully execute a 720 trick, which involves two full rotations, in a competition.

Australia’s youngest Olympian is rower Ian Johnston, who was aged 13 years and 75 days old when he competed in coxed fours at the 1960 Rome Games.
