Christakis, a University of Illinois graduate, has covered March Madness, the NBA Finals, Stanley Cup Finals and MLB Draft since joining CBS News Miami.

South Florida gets windfall with Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, Fort Lauderdale Air Show on same weekend
Both Miami-Dade and Broward Counties are enjoying a windfall this weekend. That's thanks to the Miami Grand Prix in Miami Gardens and the Air Show in Fort Lauderdale. CBS News Miami shows you how big of a bang these events are for South Florida. High-octane entertainment on the streets and in the skies Andrew Austin's wife's birthday lands on the same weekend as the Fort Lauderdale Air Show. "It's her birthday month. So this kicks off the month," he said. Austin goes to the Fort Lauderdale Air Show every year because everything he wants to see is on the beach and in the sky. "Tent, food, beer. It's all covered," he said. Chris Dirato with the air show said tens of thousands of people are expected to flock to the shores to see the show in the sky. "People come from far and wide, they're spending money at restaurants, so they're obviously spending money at the hotels, there's obviously a big economic impact," he said. South Florida got a two-fer: If you like speed in the air, you went to Fort Lauderdale beach for the air show. And, if you like speed in the streets, there was the Miami Grand Prix in Miami Gardens. The Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates that around a quarter of a million people come to Miami Gardens for the event. Victor Jimenez came here from Arizona for the Formula 1 races. Jimenez said the fast cars were fun, but he added that next time, he won't stay in Miami Beach and will pick a hotel closer to the track. "It took me two hours to come over here," Jimenez said. "I left at 10 a.m. By the time I was here, it was noon." Back at the beach, Fort Lauderdale Ocean Rescue said they're expecting spring break-level crowds, so they'll be doubling and tripling their resources on certain blocks. They're warning that it may be dangerous to watch the show in the ocean due to rip currents. Austin said it's definitely a beach day, just not a swimming day. "It is a sitting day and watching," Austin said.

Street League Skateboarding brings the best international skaters to Miami's first tournament
Street League Skateboarding is in Miami for the first time. It's an international skateboarding tournament and some of the best in the U.S. are here this weekend, including a South Florida native. CBS News Miami caught up with a few skateboarders who are here to compete. A skating competition filled with international stars, local heroes SLS is making its debut on Friday with several icons of the skating world, including international star Rayssa Leal. She made history as the youngest Olympic medalist in 85 years, earning silver in street skateboarding at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo at just 13 years old. When asked what it means for her to have so much hard work pay off early in her life, Leal said it all happened "really fast." "I mean like just having fun [with] every single contest," she said. Since then, Leal has continued to dominate, taking back-to-back first-place titles at the 2022 and 2023 SLS Super Crown World Championship. She told CBS News Miami that the key to her success is having fun. "We fall, we go up and we go again," Leal said. "[It] makes the skateboards feel like not only a sport -- we are like a big family." But it's a special competition this year for one of the skaters. Jamie Foy, who earned the highest skateboarding honors, including Thrasher Skater of the Year in 2017 and 2024, the South Florida native is looking forward to skating in front of his home crowd. "I'm excited because we had a Street League in Florida but it was up in Jacksonville, which was a lot different," he said. "Now, we're here in South Florida, and to me, it's like South Florida is the real Florida." And what makes it even more special? The skate course is modeled after iconic South Florida skate parks. "Miami is a kind of Mecca for skateboarding," Foy said. "It's been a very popular destination ever since the '90s." It all begins Friday at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables.
