Jhulia Rayssa Mendes Leal is a Brazilian professional skateboarder who won a silver medal in women's street skateboarding at the 2020 Summer Olympics and a bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics. On August 28, 2021, Rayssa won the opening leg of the 2021 Street League Skateboarding season, which took place in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. In the last round of tricks, Rayssa needed an 8.3 rating to pass Funa Nakayama and managed to get an 8.5 rating. It was, at that time, the highest score in women's SLS history, as no woman had done a kickflip followed by a handrail maneuver until this point in an official competition. In April 2022, she won her first X Games gold medal, defeating Nakayama and Chloe Covell. In November 2022, she won the 2022 SLS Super Crown in Rio de Janeiro. In December 2023, she won again the 2023 SLS Super Crown in São Paulo. In the final, she got a 9 rating for the first time in her career. This achievement also made her the first woman to get a 9 rating during the run section in an SLS competition. In July 2024, she won a third place at the Olympic Games in Paris, becoming the youngest ever Brazilian double Olympic medallist.
