Olympic skateboarder, who had already won the first stage in Belo Horizonte (MG), repeats the dose at Cepilho Beach, in Trindade, Paraty

Watching any skateboarding competition, whatever kind of track it is, is already electrifying and exciting. For a skateboarder, the performer of the show, it's not even spoken, because the level of adrenaline is always very high. And when the chosen setting is a paradisiacal place like Cepilho Beach, in Trindade, Paraty, everything is even more inspiring. Luiz Francisco, AKA Luizinho, is champion of another stage of the Mini Ramp Pro Attack, this time inside the Summer Games.

This Sunday (27/11), one of Brazil's representatives at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games threw salt on the track, as skaters say. Under a cracking sun, he left the atmosphere even hotter with what he showed the audience that packed the stands. Despite the absurd quality of the eight finalists, the weekend ended up polarized between him and Caíque Silva, who, the day before, advanced with the highest score of the semifinal, with Luizinho in second.

"Caique is a mini-rampeiro born. And ever since we got here, I've told him I was going to play on the track. Then he said he was going to play nice, so. Yesterday, he went ahead, on the best note, and told him he wasn't going to go soft in the final, no. In the end, he turned to me and said, 'Gee! Today you appealed!" Just review, good stuff, that's what skateboarding is, it's friendship. It was a very high level of all, I have nothing to say. We already knew what was ahead", said Luizinho.

He had already won the first stage of the Mini Ramp Pro Attack, held in Belo Horizonte (MG). Now, he repeated the dose in Paraty, champion with a grade of 87.23. Caíque Silva finished second (83.21), with Mateus Hiroshi completing the podium with a score of 81.94. One of the most complete skaters on the scene, for walking in the Park, on Street, Vertical and Mini Ramp, Luizinho excelled after a fall on Saturday, in which he came to hurt his elbow.

"Talk about injury, I'm even done, it happens. As I said before, the mini ramp is a fast, small terrain, so it's hard to walk the way I walk, fast and high. But I have to adapt," he said. "I had never come to the Trinity, which is a paradise. And I live in Lorena (SP), which is close to here, about an hour and a half by car. A lot of people who are from here sometimes are going to hang out in my town. Having this opportunity to be here and meet the local people is really cool. I just have to thank you for the receptivity", he added.

Amateurs and professionals shine at Stand Up at Rancho Beach

But the Sunday of the Summer Games in Trindade began at Rancho Beach, with the stand up race. Professionals and amateurs, a total of 16 competitors between women and men, left together. The amateurs had to take only one lap passing through the three buoys, totaling three kilometers. The most experienced, on the other hand, needed to complete three laps, exactly nine kilometers. The sun shone brightly and not even the rough sea was able to lessen the momentum and excitement of the participants.

The first to cross the finish line between the amateurs, with a time of 12:44, was Maick Walace, a lawyer from Ubatuba (SP). At 45, he has been reming since he was 36 and took the opportunity to encourage those who feel old to start the sport.

"I paddle since 2014, I do Stand Up, both Race and Wave, and Hawaiian canoe as well. For some time I haven't been a race, I'm more focused on canoeing this year, but I came to enjoy and enjoy the event. The streak here is very good, despite the difficulty with the side curl, which ended up bringing a higher technical level to the race. I started at the age of 36 and here's the message for those who think they're old to start rowing. I have friends who debuted after 60 and are paddling very well," Maick said.

Among the professionals, he was helbert Ramon, 32, also from Ubatuba, who completed the race in 35 minutes. He has been practicing Stand Up for a little over a year, but has become familiar with the sport because he is a fisherman and, therefore, is used to riding a caiçara canoe.

"I have always had the custom of rowing canoe caiçara, which is wooden and heavier. As the movement is very similar, also with rowing standing, I have had this practice since tomboy. The difference is that the canoe is much heavier and the paddle, too. I only added the technique, because the movements are different, but the resistance in Stand Up is lower", he explained. "We took a lot of side swells and strong waves at the end to get to the beach. It was a very hard test for the condition of the sea", he added.

The Summer Games, an event conceived by Rio de Negócios, held from 2015 to 2018 and now back to rio's sports calendar, will continue next weekend in Cabo Frio, with street racing and swimming at sea. This 5th edition, entitled "Viva o Reencontro", will be finalized in Niterói, on December 10 and 11, with three other sports: volleyball, beach Tennis and 3x3 basketball. Reinforcing that the platform has three pillars as the basis of its actions: Sport, Behavior and Quality of Life.
