1. Skateboarding

What were you doing when you were 14 years old? Not many can claim to have won an Olympic gold medal, but Arisa Trew can, after the teenager laid down a mesmerising run in the women’s park event to claim a famous and historic victory at La Concorde. Trew, who became the first woman to land a 720 and then a 900 in competition, continued her trailblazing run by becoming the first Australian woman to win skateboard gold – and Australia’s youngest gold medal winner.

2. Basketball

The Boomers blew a huge lead as their Olympic hopes were extinguished in a 95-90 overtime defeat to Serbia. It was a close-run thing by the end of a thrilling quarter-final at Bercy Arena, but the biggest comeback in Olympic basketball history ultimately ended Australian interest in the tournament. Australia had a place in the semis within their grasp after opening up a 24-point lead at one stage but, led by three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokić, Serbia staged a miraculous comeback to progress. Patty Mills, not for the first time in his career, was excellent and it was his jump shot that tied the game and forced overtime. The game may well be the 36-year-old’s last in green and gold.
