Australia's youngest gold medal winner Arisa Trew's heartwarming reaction to her 'inspiration' US skateboarding legend Tony Hawk praising her historic Paris win

Arisa Trew has made Australian Olympic history as the youngest gold medallist at 14 after winning in the women's skateboarding in Paris.

'Congratulations to Arisa Trew on her epic last run in the women's park finals this afternoon, landing her to a well-deserved gold medal,' he wrote. Trew was left surprised by Hawk's post after admitting he inspired her to get into the sport and later helped her become the first woman to perform his iconic 720 and 900 and two-and-a-half revolution aerial spin. Arisa's win means she has shattered Sandra Morgan's previous record of youngest Australian gold medallist that has stood for 68 years.
