The current Super Crown champion, from Maranhão, already qualified for the final, attended the preliminaries and warmed up on the track at the Ibirapuera gymnasium.
Summary
Rayssa Leal, 17, is looking for her fourth consecutive SLS Super Crown title against a very technical Ginásio do Ibirapuera track, with the final scheduled for this Sunday, December 7, 2025.
In search of the fourth SLS Super Crown championship, Rayssa Leal must face a very technical and difficult track at the Ibirapuera gymnasium. The 17-year-old from Maranhão, qualified directly for the decision, enters action this Sunday, the 7th, for the fourth consecutive title.
THE Earth I listened to Daniel Oristanio, architect of California Skateparks, one of the people responsible for designing the Brazilian SLS tracks since 2013, to understand the challenges Rayssa Leal can expect in the big decision.
“For this year, (the main difference) is the main session, where the most technical maneuvers take place, the Big Section, which are the stairs and the handrails. The track is not mirrored and presents a very big technical challenge with the handrails, with the central edge,” he explained.
In addition to considering the technical level for the development of the track, Oristanio must also take into account the size of the Ibirapuera gymnasium, where the SLS Super Crown takes place, which he describes as “slightly smaller” than other stadiums that host league stages around the world.
“So we have to adapt the geometry of the track to the geometry of the venue, because the arena is not going to expand or shrink, right? We have to try to make that adaptation,” he said.
For the architect, the SLS Super Crown 2025 track favors skaters who opt for more technical maneuvers: “Flip maneuvers, switch maneuvers, because the central box is at an angle that allows these more technical maneuvers. »
Qualified directly to the final, Rayssa Leal will face in the final the Australian Chloe Covell and the Japanese Coco Yoshizawa — ranked 1st on Saturday –, Yumeka Oda, Funa Nakayama and Liz Akama. The Brazilian, the greatest champion of the competition, will try to extend her reign this Sunday.

Social destination
The track that hosts some of the biggest names in world skateboarding, gathered in São Paulo, is not only dismantled after the SLS Super Crown final. To maintain the heritage of the sporting course, the obstacles are intended for permanent tracks, linked to social projects.
“Instead of just dismantling everything and then recycling that material for other events, which we also do, we try to take the smaller obstacles, which are transportable, and reposition them elsewhere,” Daniel explains.
“So people will walk on the same obstacles and ramps and edges that the ‘pros’ walked on here, they will be able to walk on the public roads that extend around it. It brings that legacy to the people who will walk here, and that’s very important,” he said.
Having grown up on the shape of a skateboard, the architect can’t help but take advantage of the tracks he has created, taking advantage of the times when the arena isn’t busy.
“It’s a great personal satisfaction to be able to do the test on the track too, I haven’t been able to do it yet this year because of the rush, I’ll see if I can go for a ride later. But it’s really cool, it’s a huge feeling of satisfaction, it’s a great joy,” he concludes.
The head of SLS Brasil compares Rayssa Leal to Ayrton Senna and says: “She is the soul of this event”:
