After winning silver in the street skateboarding competition in Tokyo Olympics at just thirteen years old, Brazilian skateboarding phenomenon Rayssa Leal is out to get the gold in Paris 2024.

“…I have grown up. I’m stronger now both physically and mentally…I believe I’m much more ambitious now. I want the podium, I want first place. I know I can do it,” says Rayssa.

She’s also very happy that she’s inspiring young girls to go skateboarding, just like she was inspired by fellow Brazilian Leticia Bufoni when she was a young girl.

Now 15 years old, Rayssa is stacking achievements left and right. Last year, she got her first SLS Super Crown title after winning all the tour stops. She also won the STU Open. Just last month, she topped the Street World Championships in Sharjah, UAE.

Rayssa first came onto the radar when she was just seven years old through a viral video of her skating wearing a fairy outfit.
