Giovanni Vianna earned his first Street League Skateboarding Super Crown title last year. Will he be able to defend his crown in the 2024 SLS Tour?

Let’s rewind to how Giovanni was able to push his way up to get the Super Crown.

In the Chicago and Sydney stops, he managed to land in the nine club in the knockout rounds, but they weren’t enough to get him to the finals.

But come the Super Crown Championships, he was able to land three nine-club scores, with 9.4 being the highest, enough to snatch the crown from his closest rival, Vincent Milou.

Watch how it all went down in the video above.

Before the first stop of Street League Skateboarding this February, let’s look back to how Rayssa Leal managed to land her top 5 scores of 2023.

Rayssa kicked off the 2023 season with a win at the Chicago stop and finished with a Super Crown in São Paulo. It was her second Super Crown win.

She is surely someone to watch out for in the 2024 SLS Tour, which will commence on February 24 at the Adidas Arena in Paris.

Japan dominated the World Skateboarding Tour Street Skateboarding World Championships at Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo on Sunday. Sora Shirai led a men’s podium sweep, and Yumeka Oda claimed her first women’s crown.

Completing the podium in the men’s division were Kairi Netsuke and Yuto Horigome for second and third place respectively.

During the eight-day championships, athletes competed to qualify for the Paris Olympics and earn important rankings points.

Shirai earned a total of 276.81 points, followed by Netsuke with 273.60 points and Horigome with 273.28 points. The final score was based on each competitor’s best two runs and two highest-scoring tricks out of five attempts.

In the women’s skateboarding competition, Oda emerged as the winner with a total score of 265.75 points. Her best trick section received an impressive score of 94.80. She finished 3.85 points ahead of the defending world champion, Rayssa Leal. Nishiya secured the third spot with a total score of 245.76.
