That long-awaited skate park

Here is some good news from the field of sports. Cebuana skateboarder Margielyn Didal again does us proud by finishing with a podium victory at the Street League Skateboarding in Santa Monica, California, last Saturday.

Returning from a year's hiatus due to an injury, Didal bagged the bronze medal. Now her victory is raising hopes that the long-promised skate park for Cebu City will finally become a reality.

Those who think that skateboarding isn't a viable sport for Filipinos only need to look at what Didal has achieved. In fact, the sport might even appeal to more young people because it costs less in terms of equipment compared to other sports that can take an athlete to the Olympics.
