Australian Olympic hero Arisa Trew has made a startling revelation about her flight home. The 14-year-old skateboarding superstar captured the imagination of the nation by becoming the youngest Aussie ever to win a gold medal at the Olympics . And she is still stealing hearts after revealing today that she gave up her business class seat on the trip home to sit with her best friends. Sunrise host Matt Shirvington explained there was a pecking order to the seat allocation on the Qantas plane.
“I mean, I could have been sitting in business with all the medallists, but instead I chose to sit in economy with my two best friends, Chloe and Ruby.” Those friends are fellow skateboarders Chloe Covell and Ruby Trew who both missed out on medals, hence their seats “out the back”. “You’re the cutest thing ever. We couldn’t love you anymore,” Phillips said.
