Wilson and Trew lead Aussies at WST São Paulo World Championships

Australia’s Keefer Wilson and Arisa Trew headlined a strong green and gold performance at the World Skateboarding Tour São Paulo World Championships 2026, with both athletes finishing just outside the podium in challenging conditions in Brazil.

The world championships brought together the best street and park skateboarders in São Paulo for a dramatic weekend of competition that swung between bright sunshine and sudden, heavy downpours. The unpredictable weather caused multiple delays and ultimately forced the Women’s Park final to be shortened, but the level of skateboarding remained world-class throughout.

In Men’s Park, Wilson delivered one of the standout performances of the Australian campaign. Skating confidently from the early rounds through to the final, he finished 5th over

all, narrowly missing the medals in a stacked field. Olympic champion Keegan Palmer also reached the final, placing 8th, while Phoenix Sinnerton finished 17th, Eddie Acres 24th, Kieran Woolley 40th, and Ash Wilcomes 45th.

In Women’s Park, Australia’s rising superstar Arisa Trew finished 4th, just missing the podium in a final cut short by rain. The standings were confirmed after each skater completed two runs, with fellow Australians Aaliyah Wilson (26th), Coco Crafter (42nd) and Zahra Johns (58th) also competing in the women’s field.

Australia’s best Street result came from Rome Collyer, who finished 9th in Men’s Street, with Daniel Woolley 69th. In Women’s Street, Cora Wilton (35th), Liv Lovelace (37th) and Ella Ledingham (38th) represented the green and gold.

Despite the weather interruptions, the championships delivered an unforgettable weekend of skateboarding and a promising set of results for the Australian squad as the international season continues. 

With several Australians pushing deep into finals and podium contention, the team leaves Brazil with momentum heading into the next stop of the global skateboarding calendar.
