Biggest name in the Brazilian skate this Saturday. Unprecedented on the circuit and beginning of the SLS season, Miami ended with the Brazilian title, with 32.1, followed by Australian Chloe Covell, with 24, and Japanese Coco Yoshizawa, Olympic champion in Paris-2024, with 22.7. “Every time it’s special, it’s crazy,” said the skateboarder about the 13 titles. “I wanted to thank everyone who was in the crowd. Another trophy for the house. I am very happy, we are together and we go to the next,” added the 17 -year -old Brazilian. The final grade is the sum of the top five of two laps and five maneuvers. In the first of two turns of 45 seconds, the Brazilian suffered a drop and ended in the sixth and last place, with a note of 2.8. From then on, the Brazilian was climbing positions and gave no chance to rivals.
Australian Chloe Covell closed the first lap in the lead with 6.8, followed by the Japanese Yumeka Oda and Coco Yoshizawa, who got 6.2. Trich champion of Super Crown and owner of two Olympic medals (silver and bronze), Rayssa took the lead in the second round with 7.5. Following, however, Covell got the best lap of the final with 7.9. In the maneuvers, the skaters were five chances each. At the end of the first round of maneuvers, Momiji Nishiya took second place with 15.3 after getting a 9.0. Rayssa got a 7.6 and added 15.1. COVELL kept the top with 16.5. Rayssa took the lead with 23.5 after 2 of the 5 maneuvers. Covell and Nishiya could not improve their sum. In the third attempt, the Brazilian expanded the lead with 32.1. Chloe Covell reached 24.0, still distant from Rayssa.
In the penultimate round of maneuvers, Yoshizawa got 8.9 and entered the podium dispute, totaling 22.7. In the lead, Rayssa risked, ended up wrong and zeroed. Chloe Covell also failed. The Brazilian arrived at her last attempt already with the title guaranteed, since no competitor had surpassed her sum. “I think the first two exits I was nervous. I think it was the cold, the arena is a little cold, but it was fun, I felt good,” said Rayssa. The league culminates in the Super Crown World Championship SLS, which returns to Sao Paulo for the third consecutive year on December 6 and 7.
