This Saturday (1st), the Glicério Marques Complex, in the center of the capital, received 3×3 Basketball teams and Skateboard athletes, in the beginner and amateur female and male categories, in continuity with the Macapá Summer 2023 sports program.
Secretary Bruno Igreja, from the Municipal Department of Sports and Leisure (Semel) highlighted the significant number of sports in Macapá this summer. “Never seen, in our municipality, a schedule with so many sports, including unprecedented sports in public events in our city. This is also an incentive for the young population to be interested in playing sports,” he commented.
Simultaneously with the 3×3 basketball championship, at the Glicério Marques stadium, the first stage of the Amapaense Skateboard Championship was held.
About 30 athletes participated in the competition in the male and female beginner and amateur categories.
Antônio Rosa Junior, president of the Amapaense Skate Federation, highlighted the importance of the event, especially for beginner athletes, who are participating in an important championship for their career in the sport for the first time.
“The Glicério Marques Complex was built to train athletes and here we have this space for skaters to train, both in the street modalities (obstacle category) and in the bowl, which is a track similar to a swimming pool”, added the president.
Skateboarder Milena Lopes, 18 years old, known in sports circles as “Dark”, has been practicing skateboarding since she was 15. She said that she started to be interested in the sport when she saw her friends practicing. At first, her friends built her a skateboard and after that, she says she never stopped practicing.
“It’s good for me. When I’m on a skateboard I don’t seem to have any problems. I feel peace”, commented the pink haired girl.
In competition, each skater needs to complete two 45-second laps. Of these, the best time is used for evaluation criteria. There was also the Best Trick (competition where the skater competes for the best maneuver in obstacles). Those classified up to third place received prizes.
In all, about 200 athletes participated in the two sporting events.
