<div><br /></div><div>The skateboarder from Fortaleza had already been champion in the city of Santa Catarina at the STU National 2022: "It's a place that is emotional"</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Lucas Rabelo</strong> activated his affective memory when he became a two-time champion in the Street in CriciĆŗma. This Sunday (03/24), after repeating the feat of the STU National 2022, the skateboarder from Fortaleza recalled a difficult and decisive phase as a teenager, when he left his community to seek life on four wheels in Porto Alegre. A period in which, even due to the proximity, he used to go with friends to walk in the streets of the city of Santa Catarina, which once again brought him great memories.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"It's already the fourth stage of the circuit here and the only reason he won't ride the first, in 2021, is because he's injured. I won in 2022, I was fourth last year, and now I'm fortunate to win again. As you know, I left Fortaleza as a child, I lived in Porto Alegre from the age of 13 to 18, and I used to skate a lot on the street with my friends. It's always great to be here. Seeing everyone again is very rewarding. I've always felt very happy in CriciĆŗma," he said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And this happiness was seen in the first of the three 45-second laps to which each of the six finalists was entitled, on the track of the City Hall.In a clean lap, with a precise BombTrick (last maneuver, after the end of each line, which is worth 20% of the final score), Lucas Rabelo received an 82.87 from the judges ā no other skater could surpass him. The day before, in the semifinals, he had also advanced with the highest score (82.36). But he reveals that he wanted much more:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"The first lap put me at ease. I was glad I had nailed what I had planned. Like it or not, I went to the next two lighter, more inspired to go for the 90.00. That's what I wanted for today. Unfortunately, I couldn't get some tricks right to get the grade. But it was a movie where I came from, what I'm going through, the people around me and I felt the vibe of the crowd. So, all of this motivates me to seek a higher and higher level."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ivan Monteiro</strong>, on his last lap, achieved a 77.60 and finished second, with <strong>JoĆ£o Lucas Alves</strong>, Xuxu, completing the podium with a score of 75.07. The podium, in fact, is what<strong> Lucas Rabelo</strong> aims to achieve in the last two stages of the Olympic race towards Paris-2024, in Shanghai (CHN) and Budapest (HUN). At the moment, the mission is not the easiest, as he sees four Brazilians ahead of him in the world ranking: <strong>Kelvin Hoefler </strong>(9th),<strong> Giovanni Vianna</strong> (17th), <strong>Felipe Gustavo</strong> (22nd) and <strong>Gabryel Aguilar </strong>(23rd). Lucas is 36th.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"My head is pretty good about it. This break from Dubai (stage held at the beginning of March) to the first stage of a second phase that is coming is opening my mind. I'm studying a lot about myself, about my skateboarding and my mind. Honestly, I'm very confident and I hope everything goes well", added Lucas Rabelo. For what he did in CriciĆŗma, it is good not to doubt what he is still capable of doing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The CriciĆŗma stage of the STU National 2024 was presented by Banco BV and had Petrobras as master sponsor, in addition to sponsorships from the Federal Government, Monster Energy, the Municipality of CriciĆŗma, the Municipal Sports Foundation and Tiger.
