She is the girl from the infamous “heelflip fairy” video. Seeing her progress from that to Olympic medalist has been awesome. I’m my 30s, I could never imagine pulling some of the tricks she’s got as a 14y/o

I thought I wouldn't like skateboarding at the Olympics. I was wrong.

My 4 year old daughter loves skateboarding and these girls are more than all Disney pricesses for her right now. I'm gonna spend all afternoon with her outside today, because she wants to skateboard like them.

Brazilian skateboarding wrote another chapter in the history of the Olympics this Monday morning in Japan. At age 13, Rayssa Leal won silver at the Tokyo Games and became the youngest Brazilian to win an Olympic medal!
