After taking out Australia’s first gold medal in women’s skateboarding, Arisa Trew’s parents have promised her more than just an Olympic celebration.
The parents of Australia’s youngest Olympic champion made their daughter a surprising promise if she secured a gold medal in Paris.
Arisa Trew, 14, landed a score of 93.18 in the women’s skateboard park overnight, wiping out her competitors and making it to the top of the podium.
But a gold medal isn’t the only thing the young skateboarder won after a near perfect run on the half-pipe, her parents promised her a pet duck.
“My parents promised me if I won the gold medal I could get a pet duck,” she told the Today Show on Wednesday morning.
The skateboarding champion explained she will take her new pet on “walks and to the skate park” once she returns to Australia.
Ms Trew said a pet duck would suit her busy lifestyle as she competes overseas.
“My parents wouldn’t let me get a dog or a cat because we are travelling so much right now,” she said.
“I feel like a duck might be a little bit easier.”
The young skateboarder said she will keep her new pet duck in little pool in her backyard.
