In a compelling display of talent and determination, Olympic champion Arisa Trew emerged victorious in the women’s vert qualifiers at the World Skate Games Italia 2024, held on September 5, 2024. This remarkable achievement comes less than a month after her gold medal triumph at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The event took place against the picturesque backdrop of downtown Rome, where the 14-year-old Trew showcased her exceptional skills on the vert ramp. She qualified in first place from heat one with an impressive score of 82.81, demonstrating her ability to maintain consistency throughout the qualifiers. Trew reinforced her dominance by delivering a strong third run, securing an additional score of 81.20, which reflected her adept execution and the level of difficulty she incorporated into her routine.

Among her competitors was Mizuho Hasegawa from Japan, a 13-year-old skater who finished in second place with a score of 80.93 on her third attempt. Hasegawa’s performance was commendable, as she appeared relaxed and composed on the ramp, finishing ahead of Germany’s Lilly Stoephasius, who earned the third position with a score of 75.52.

The Australian contingent also had significant representation in the final, with both Jada Ward and Eliza Pols finishing in sixth and eighth places, respectively, which allowed them to join Trew in the competitive lineup for the finals, showcasing a strong team presence from Down Under. Brazil also had notable performances, with Olympic park stars Dora Varella and Raicca Ventura qualifying for the upcoming finals, although Ventura notably did not participate in her third run.

The vert competition at the World Skate Games Italia 2024 will progress with the men’s open qualifier scheduled for the following day, building on the excitement of the event. It is noteworthy that the top eight competitors from the qualifiers have advanced to the finals, where only the best run score out of three attempts will count.

The event promises to attract considerable attention, with selective action from the World Skate Games, including the vert skateboarding competition, available for live streaming on Olympic Channel via Olympics.com and the official Olympics mobile application. However, it is pertinent to mention that there are viewing restrictions in various territories, including Japan, China, and several European countries.

In conclusion, Arisa Trew’s exceptional performance at the World Skate Games not only reaffirms her status as an elite athlete but also signifies a bright future for women’s skateboarding on the global stage.
