Rayssa Leal returns to Brazil with silver Olympic medal

Upon her arrival, Leal skated across the airport lobby showing off her silver medal.

She is on her way back to the city of Imperatriz where she was born and lives with her family.

Japanese 13-year-old Momiji Nishiya clinched the Olympic title in the women's street skateboarding competition on Monday (July 26), shedding tears of happiness after nailing her final trick and becoming the country's youngest-ever gold medal winner.

Bronze went to Japan's Funa Nakayama, aged 16.
