By Sean Bevan

RAYSSA LEAL: The Rise of a Skateboarding Prodigy traces the incredible journey of a young athlete who transformed from a viral sensation into one of the most dominant figures in professional skateboarding.

At just seven years old, a video of her landing a heelflip in a fairy costume captivated the world, hinting at the extraordinary talent that would soon take the sport by storm. With fearless determination and unmatched technical skill, she became the youngest Olympic medalist in skateboarding history at the Tokyo 2020 Games, proving that age was no barrier to greatness.

It explores the challenges of breaking into a male-dominated sport, the influence of Brazilian skate culture, and the unwavering spirit that has made her an inspiration to a new generation.
