At age 13, Brazilian quad and inline skater Gustavo Casado Melo's Inline Freeskating short program was part of the package that earned him a Silver Medal at the World Roller Skating Championship in Fresno, California. Coached by Kadu, who is also from Brazil, Gustavo is now 16 and is one of several South American quad and inline roller skaters who live in Southern California, train at the Redwood City Skating Club and will participate in the 2007 World Championship in Gold Coast, Australia.
