Brazilian girl skater Jhulia Rayssa Mendes Leal, who won a silver medal in women's street skateboarding at the 2020 Summer Olympics, is officially a professional skateboarder for April skateboards.
Shane O'Neill posted. "Congratulations, Rayssa Leal; you have come such a long way in the past few years, and I am so excited that you're the newest April skateboards pro."
The 14-year-old skater girl wearing "tutu," a female ballet dancer's costume, heelfipping a set of stairs at the age of seven in internet videos, is no longer an amateur skater as she got promoted in the pro rankings.
She first got discovered on the internet as a fairy tale heelflip princess with her mother filming her trick on September 7, 2015, until Tony Hawk was blown away by her talent.
"I don't know anything about it, but it's amazing: a fairytale-style heelflip in Brazil," Hawk said.
She is the first-ever youngest skater girl turning pro for a core skate company. Congratulations to Leal for a job well done.
