<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The three skaters who represented Brazil in the Park modality at the Tokyo Olympic Games formed the podium of the opening stage of the STU National, in Florianópolis (SC), this Sunday (04/02). But the one who got the best at Abraão's Skate Park, feeling very comfortable walking at home was <strong>Yndiara Asp</strong>. But it is worth an honorable mention here to the other Santa Catarina native in the final,<strong> Isadora Pacheco</strong>, who overcame herself after a sprained ankle and completed the podium, with<strong> Dora Varella</strong> in second place.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the competition's new dispute format, new in the 2024 edition of the Brazilian skateboarding circuit, the six finalists present themselves in two 20-minute sessions, with a short break between them, doing as many laps as possible, worth the best lap in terms of classification. Coincidence or not, Yndiara Asp made her best performance in the third of the seven laps that each managed to do, receiving a score of 75.17, as well as DoraVarella, who got a 73.00 on the third lap.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I'm very happy. It is very grateful to skateboarding, to the City Hall, for having made this wonderful track, and to the entire organization of the event for providing the celebration of our sport here. It's very special for me to start the year with this victory. I've been training a lot, because last year the results weren't coming out. And there's nothing better than starting 2024 like this. It's a huge motivation to keep training and working harder," said Ynd, who was cheered on by her boyfriend, father, mother, siblings and many friends from Floripa.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just as she was thrilled, she also regretted what happened to her friend Isadora Pacheco. On his second lap, the crash came. She fell, sprained her left ankle and, feeling a lot of pain, was promptly attended to by the doctor Carlos Wahle and the physiotherapist Léo Assis Brasil. With his foot properly bandaged with tape (Kinesio Tape, indicated for muscle inhibition, joint protection and pain relief), who knows where he got the strength to return to the track and perform for the third time. So far, she had only the fourth-best grade. In the race, he got a 70.00 and, even though he couldn't do the next four laps, the score guaranteed him the podium.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Isa is my sister and she's been a warrior since forever. We've been through a lot together. I've run in pain and I know what it's like. And she outdid herself. He returned to the track and still managed to make a superlap and secured the podium. She is very much an inspiration to all girls. It's a pleasure to have her on the podium with us, I'm proud of the women's Park", commented Yndiara, who started at the front in the Brazilian title race and pocketed 50 thousand reais with the stage title.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>In Paraskate Park, another title for Vini Sardi's collection</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In Paraskate, the 2024 circuit started with the Park modality. On the category's calendar, Park and Street take turns. In other words: in the next stage, in Criciúma (SC), it will be Street's turn. In the next one, in PortoAlegre (RS), the Park returns, and so on. And who shone again was <strong>Vini Sardi</strong>, who is also the president of the Brazilian Paraskate Association. He feels so comfortable on the Park track that, last season, he won all the stages he received the modality, becoming Brazilian champion. On Street, he was the runner-up.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"The track here got awesome. It's a little tiring for us, because it's wider, but it's very good, very smooth, the transitions are perfect and you can make very good connections. The deep part is too much to send some aerials. And this track raises the level of the crowd a lot," he said. "And we are already partnering with the City of Florianópolis to bring more of our sport here and make Floripa the Brazilian capital of Paraskate. Focused championships, which we can use as a base and make a ranking for the STU. It's all right," he added, champion with a score of 61.50.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The STU National of Florianópolis had the master sponsorship of Banco BV, one of the largest banks in the country, and was sponsored by the City of Florianópolis and Monster Energy. Eletromídia and Altermark were the official partners, with Drop Dead and Associação Brasileira de Paraskate as supporters. The event is approved by CBSk, the Brazilian Skateboarding Confederation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>FINAL RESULT - PARK WOMEN</strong></div><div><br /></div><div>1º – Yndiara Asp – 75,17</div><div>2º – Dora Varella – 73,00</div><div>3º – Isadora Pacheco – 70,00</div><div>4º – Fernanda Tonissi – 68,90</div><div>5º – Sofia Godoy – 66,00</div><div>6º – Lua Vicente – 64,67</div><div><br /></div><div><strong>FINAL RESULT - PARASKATE PARK</strong></div><div><br /></div><div>1º – Vini Sardi – 61,50</div><div>2º – Ítalo Romano – 54,00</div><div>3º – Felipe Nunes – 52,67</div><div>4º – Tony Alves – 47,00</div><div>5º – Jota Ribeiro – 45,00</div><div>6º – David Soares – 43,17</div><div>7º – Kauê Augusto – 41,00</div><div>8º – Rogério Bento – 30,00</div><div><br /></div>
