Luigi Cini is perhaps the most intriguing prospect of all the Brazilian transition torch-bearers in that he skates with the composure and assurance of someone who was born to do it despite being something of an enigma beyond his native shores. In that respect he is part of the hermetically self-contained Brazilian skate scene which has its own industry and event series’ so he appeared on the world stage as someone unafraid to take names and wreck games. Already doubling down on his Argentina victory by moving camp to Italy two full months ahead of the 2023 World Championship there, comparisons can be made between Luigi’s liquid grace and that of the legendary American Chris Miller. High praise indeed.
