The medal is the second gold of the Games for Australia from the four skateboarding events on the programme, after Arisa Trew won goal in the women’s park on Tuesday. Seventeen-year-old Keefer Wilson finished eighth place behind Palmer after failing to complete a run in the final. Yet the final started slowly, after six skaters stacked on their first run. It left only Schaar and Keegan to complete their allotted 45 seconds. Schaar posted a 90.11 immediately before Palmer, but the Australian bettered him, celebrating with his rivals with hugs and high fives.
