Didal shakes off wounds suffered in accident
MANILA, Philippines — Nothing, not even a motorcycle accident, could stop or derail Filipina skateboarding ace and Tokyo Olympian Margie Didal from seeking greater glory in the international arena.
Didal, 22, escaped potentially dangerous injuries after she figured in an accident in Cebu a few days ago that resulted to facial wounds, a busted lip and some scratches on her body.
The Olympian though was not seriously hurt, and was quick to brush the incident aside, even joining the Typhoon Odette relief efforts back home.
“Minor injuries, malayo sa bituka,” said a source close to Didal, who is known for her jolly demeanor.
Didal is preparing to snare the gold anew in the Hangzhou Asian Games slated Sept. 10-25.
Injuries are nothing new to Didal being in a sport known for its dangerous stunts and acrobatic moves.
A few scratches here and there won’t slow the energetic Didal down.
