Fairy at the top! Rayssa Leal is world skateboarding champion

Brazilian skateboarder Rayssa Leal, just 14 years old, won all four stages of the SLS and became world champion. She overcame seven other athletes and, with one last spectacular maneuver, won the Super Crown at Arena Carioca 1, in Rio de Janeiro.

The title was confirmed only in the last maneuver and after endless seconds of waiting to know the score of Funa Nakayama, who made the last jump – almost perfect, it's true. But Rayssa had been entirely perfect two minutes earlier.
