The conquest of the Super Crown, final race of the World Street Skateboarding League (SLS), in Rio de Janeiro, was one of the historic feats achieved by Rayssa Leal last Sunday (6). The 14-year-old skateboarder from Maranhão became the youngest champion of the women's circuit (disputed on a track with street elements) and was the first to win the four stages of the season. She had previously won in Jacksonville, Seattle, and Las Vegas (all in the United States).

Two other Brazilians, both from São Paulo, participated in the final, which brought together eight skaters. Pâmela Rosa, two-time champion, ended in fifth place, while Gabriela Mazetto finished the stage in seventh.

For the men, the Super Crown title went to Portuguese Gustavo Ribeiro, who beat Americans Braen Hoban (second) and Chris Joslin (third). Felipe Gustavo, from Brasilia, the Brazilian representative in the final, finished in sixth place.
