Luizinho gives a show in the maneuvers and is champion of the STU of Criciúma in the park | spectacular summer

When he saw the Olympic bronze slip away in Tokyo, fourth place, Luiz Francisco Mariano, aka Luizinho, even considered leaving the skate park. But, convinced by idols Bob Burnquist, Sandro Dias and Pedro Barros, he decided to follow. This Sunday, at the STU in Criciúma, he gave enough evidence that he made the right choice. In his third lap, after not completing the previous ones, he already secured the stage title.

– I spent the week walking down the street, a lot of people said a lot of good things. I saw that I really am one of the best in the world. I had to keep fighting. This motivated me more and more. I want to thank my friends, my father, my mother, my brother who is with me. My girlfriend – said Luizinho, who competed with his brother, André.

Luizinho took the title with 77.33 in the score. The second place went to Augusto Akio, aka Japinha, with 74.67. Pedro Carvalho, with 72, completed the podium.

Luizinho is returning to his skateboarding roots. Since November 2021, it has been divided between street and park competitions. The skater knows it will be difficult, but he intends to try out for the spot in the Paris Games in both categories.

Luizinho still hadn’t completed any laps until the third attempt. Fourth in the Tokyo Olympics, he accumulated good maneuvers and jumped to the lead with 77.33 points, taking Augusto Akio off the top. Before, Kalani Konig and Gui Khury, stars of the new generation, also surprised with good laps.

The definition was even for the last lap. André Mariano, with a sprained foot, was the first to take to the track, but he couldn’t complete it. In the sequence, Gui Khury paraded maneuvers, but could not jump to the lead.

Augusto Akio scored 75 points on the last lap, but was unable to regain the lead. From then on, nobody took Luizinho off the top. He even returned to the track for one last lap. Almost got an impressive aerial, but crashed on the descent. Didn’t even have to. The title was already secured.
