Rayssa Leal vai liderar a equipe do Brasil na Nations Cup. A nova competição entre seleções vai fazer parte da programação da SLS Super Crown, que coroa os melhores atletas da temporada da Street League Skateboarding (SLS). O ginásio do Ibirapuera, em São Paulo, será o palco para os melhores skatistas do mundo nos dias 12 e 13 de dezembro.
Além do Brasil, outras três seleções vão disputar a Nations Cup. As equipes mistas vão contar com quatro skatistas, sendo ao menos uma mulher. Nyjah Huston será o capitão dos Estados Unidos, Ginwoo Onodera vai liderar o Japão e Chloe Covell será a capitã da equipe mundo.
A Nations Cup terá duas fases. Na classificatória, todos participam das rodadas de manobras e de duas voltas de 45 segundos na pista montada no Ibirapuera, valendo as duas melhores notas masculinas e a melhor nota feminina de cada equipe. As duas melhores seleções avançam à final, quando cada skatista terá três tentativas de manobras, valendo apenas a melhor nota de cada atleta. Skatistas que alcançarem o “9 Club” (nota igual ou maior que nove pontos) garantem um ponto extra para sua seleção.
A equipe campeã da Nations Cup vai receber o prêmio de US$ 100 mil (pouco mais de R$ 533 mil). A SLS ainda vai divulgar as escalações completas das quatro seleções.
