Sixteen-year-old Australian sensation Arisa Trew spearheaded the charge in the Women's Skateboard Park final. After narrowly missing the podium in Salt Lake City last year, Trew delivered a technical masterclass, highlighted by a backside 540 melon and a switch McTwist, to earn a winning score of 92.66.
