Oddly enough, at the age of 7 he started skating, the amount of his current world ranking place as well. He has crazy skills for improving them through his career in parks, pools, and bowls! His talents landed him a spot at this year’s Olympics pretty much, (currently clearly postponed), but we’re pretty sure that guy will get a lot to talk about once the Olympics are actually on. Fingers crossed, quickly!

3rd world-ranked Brazilian, part of one of those times when people were really afraid of the Brazilians in competitions because of how well they performed!
