Margielyn Didal was announced as part of the 20 women who will compete at Tokyo 2020 in the first ever Olympic street skateboarding competition as the full line up for all disciplines was announced by World Skate.

Didal also became the 10th Filipino to be confirmed as an Olympian.

Despite being ranked 17th, Didal was given a spot because Brazil already had three skaters with confirmed spots for the Olympics.

Pamela Rosa, Rayssa Leal and, Leticia Bufoni make up a strong Brazilian contingent in the street event.

In the men’s street competition, favourite Nyjah Huston’s spot was confirmed along with Horigome Yuto of Japan and popular Puerto Rican representative Manny Santiago.
