Win a gold medal and you can have a pet duck

Arisa Trew won a gold medal at the Olympics in skate-boarding. What is a bit special about this is that Arisa is only 14 years old and the youngest Australian to ever win a gold medal. Arisa goes to a special school where they do normal lessons in the morning then spend the afternoons at a skate park. I guess she has had every chance to do well but it’s still a remarkable achievement. Skate-boarding has a language all its own with each trick having a special name. Some of the tricks they do on their skateboards make my hair stand on end. The other thing I love is that, if Arisa won a gold medal, the only thing she wanted was a pet duck. I wonder if she’ll pick one like the one in the photo. If she is at the next Olympics at the age of 14, I bet it won't be a pet duck that she asks for.
