The Guinness World Records recently awarded Leticia Bufoni two titles -the most medals by a female in a Summer X Games discipline, and the most gold medal in Women’s Street.

The Brazilian-American skater has 12 X Games medals so far with six golds, three silvers, and three bronzes in a span of more than a decade. Five out of the six golds are for the Women’s Street discipline.

She first achieved her X Games medal in 2010 when she won silver in the Women’s Street event. She got her first gold in X Games Foz do Iguacu in 2013. Bufoni’s first appearance in the X Games was in 2007 when she was just 14 years old.

She was first awarded the title for most medals won in X Games summer disciplines (female) in June 2019 after receiving her 11th medal. She has also held the record for most Skateboard Street gold medals won at the X Games (female) together with Elissa Steamer since 2019. Her fifth gold in 2021 means that she is the sole title holder now.

She competed again in this year’s Summer X Games Women’s Street, the day after she received her Guinness certificate. This time, the gold medal went to the Tokyo Summer Olympics Street Skateboarding gold medalist Momiji Nishiya.

Tony Hawk’s First Trading Card Breaks Skateboarding Record

Tony Hawk’s 1990 Sports Illustrated for Kids rookie card sold for $15,000 Thursday night in PWCC’s Premier Auction to become the highest-selling skateboarding trading card.

This sale also more than doubles Hawk’s previous record of $6,600 in 2021.

Hawk’s rookie card was part of a Sports Illustrated for Kids issue in May 1990, alongside other athletes like Mark McGwire, Reggie Miller, and Boris Becker.

To remove the cards from the magazine page, subscribers had to tear them out along the pre-perforated edges, which unfortunately made it difficult to keep the cards in good condition.

PSA graded this card a Gem Mint 10, meaning it was removed perfectly from its sheet. It is one of only three examples ever to earn PSA’s top grade.
