Mia
Kretzer

At age 9 years, 8 months when she dropped in for Women’s Skateboard Vert Best Trick at X Games Ventura 2024, Australia’s Mia Kretzer became the youngest athlete ever to compete at X Games. By the time she rode away from her 720, she was also the youngest ever X Games medalist and gold medalist! She says she was inspired to learn the 720 after seeing her fellow Australian Arisa Trew land it in her gold medal Vert run at X Games California 2023, and promptly went out and got to work. Little legend. In March 2026, at age 11, she was the youngest athlete drafted in the inaugural X Games League, to represent XC Los Angeles. She won gold in Vert and bronze in Vert Best Trick in the first X Games League event at Sacramento in 2026.
