Rayssa Leal, 11, stunned fans as she came in first place during the women's final at a Street League Skateboarding world tour event in Los Angeles. The Brazilian, who finished in third position in the first event of the year in London, became the youngest skater to win a leg of the competition, beating compatriot Pamela Rosa, who finished first in London, and American Alana Smith. Leal is hoping to make even a bigger impact at Tokyo 2020 where she will make her Olympic debut alongside 10-year-old British skater Sky Brown. In the men's category of the contest, it was Japan's Yuto Horigome won the event ahead of the USA's Maurio McCoy and France's Vincent Milou. The next and last event of the world tour will take place in Mexico City between 18-22 September.
