PH Skateboarding hahakutin ang golden podium sa SEAG

Nagpahatid ng kanilang panggulat ang Skateboarding and Roller Sports Association of the Philippines nang ianunsiyo nila na pakay nila ang golden podium sa 30th Southeast Asian Games.

May paliwanag dito ang pangulo na si Monty Mendigoria. “Yes, we’re looking at sweeping all of our eight events in the SEA Games,” saad ni Mendigoria na pakay humakot ng medalya ang kanyang bataan sa prestihiyosong biennial meet sa Nob. 30-Dis. 11. “I am confident of my projection because when we decided on what events to play, I was told by (Philippine Olympic Committee president) Cong. Bambol (Tolentino) to put in those where we can surely win the gold medal. And I can say that we are unbeatable in all of the events that we have included.”

Bilang powerhouse sports sa rehiyon, taglay ng Pinoy skateboarders ang husay sa men at women’s categories ng street, game of skate at downhill events. Pangungunahan ni Margielyn Didal, ang reigning champion sa women’s street event ng Asian Games ang pagwagayway ng bandila ng bansa kasama sina Christiana Means, Jericho “Kiko” Francisco at iba pang talented Filipino-foreign athletes mula sa Europa at U.S.
