MANILA, Philippines – Nothing, not even a motorcycle accident, could prevent Filipina skateboarding ace Margielyn Didal could stop her from seeking more Asian Games glory.

Didal, 22, had escaped potentially dangerous injuries after she had an accident while parking in Cebu a few days ago that resulted to merely facial wounds, a busted lip and some body scratches.

The Olympian though did not appear hurt and was quick to brush it aside and even joined the Typhoon Odette relief efforts back home.

“Minor injuries, malayo sa bituka,” said a source close to Didal.

Didal is preparing to snare gold medals anew in the Hangzhou Asian Games slated September 10-25.

Injuries are nothing new to Didal being in a sport known for its dangerous stunts and acrobatic moves.

And a few scratches here and there won’t slow the energetic Didal down.
