Rayssa Leal wins Seattle stage of Street League Skateboarding
Brazilian skateboarder Rayssa Leal on Sunday (Aug. 14) won the Seattle (USA) stage of the World Street League Skateboarding. The second place was also another athlete from Brazil, Pâmela Rosa, and the Japanese Momiji Nishiya was third.
After the victory, the Olympic medalist posted a message on social media thanking the fans and dedicating the title to her father: "Thank you, God. Thank you all for your support. This one goes to you, Haroldo Leal. Happy Father's Day. I love you.
If, on the one hand, Brazil shone in the female category, on the other hand, in the male category the participation was more modest, with Felipe Gustavo placing 9th in the qualifiers. Japanese Yuto Horigome took the title, followed by Frenchman Vincent Milou, and American Chris Joslin.
Street League Skateboarding still has stages planned for Las Vegas, on October 8 and 9, and for Rio de Janeiro, which will host the Super Crown on November 5 and 6.
