Peruvian skateboarder Angelo Caro—a member of the Peruvian Sports Institute (IPD) Athlete Support Program (PAD)—once again brought pride to the country by finishing as runner-up in the Street final at the Skateboarding World Championship.
With a total of 173.32 points, Caro—who carries out part of his training at the IPD Costa Verde Complex—confirmed his position among the world's top skateboarders.
Likewise, he made it onto the podium alongside Japan’s Toa Sasaki, who claimed the gold medal, and Sora Shirai. The latter took bronze.
Sasaki was crowned two-time world champion after scoring 174.10 points, repeating the gold medal he won in 2024 at just 19 years of age.
During the final, only two of the eight participants successfully executed their tricks, one of them the Peruvian athlete, who recorded the highest score of the event (91.34), allowing him to secure a place on the podium in the competition.
This result confirms Caro's outstanding sporting form.
With the points earned at the World Championship, the Peruvian athlete now ranks sixth in the World Skateboarding Ranking, consolidating his status as one of the leading figures in this sport worldwide.
Peruvian skateboarder Deyvid Tuesta was also part of the national delegation that competed at the Skateboarding World Championship held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, from March 1 to 8.
