Giovanna Petrucci is a Brazilian athlete from Rio de Janeiro notable for being a champion slackliner. [1] This relatively new sport is performed on a thin strap of nylon or polyester, five centimeters wide, suspended under tension between two trees or poles, over land or sand or water. [1] Tension on the slackline is maintained with ratchets strong enough to support the weight of the slackliner, like having a thin trampoline only a few centimeters wide. Petrucci propels herself airborne to perform tricks such as jumps and somersaults, sometimes called trickling, as well as front and back flips and dismounts. [2] According to a report in The New York Times, she is credited with being the first to do a complex combination of aerial moves termed a fearless. [1] She has performed at the beach at Ipanema as well as above a river, and has competed internationally. [3] In 2013, she was described as the current Brazilian champion in the sport. [3]
