Rome, Italy- 14th September 2024:
World Skate crowned two new World Champions of Street Skateboarding late Saturday night as part of the World Skate Games Italia 2024.
Leading by the end of the Run stage, Rayssa Leal slipped down to sixth position during Best Trick before pulling the best kickflip back smith to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Pushed down into second by Rayssa’s heroics was erstwhile leader Momiji Nishiya while in third came her Japanese compatriot Miyu Ito.
Men’s finals saw sole Japanese finalist Toa Sasaki make up a 13 point deficit at the end of first Runs to win by a convincing 11-point margin. In second came Argentina’s Matthias Dell Olio followed by Colombia’s Juancarlos Gonzalez.
