Rising From Injury: Philippines' First Skateboarding Olympian
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- TURN SUBTITLES ON VIA "CC". This is "Beyond the Board," the maiden documentary film from Woman In Action Studios, in partnership with Red Bull, telling the inspiring story of the Philippines’ first skateboarding Olympian, Margielyn Didal.
After a remarkable performance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where she reached the Finals in Skateboarding’s debut event, Margie captured hearts worldwide with her bright personality and fighting spirit. Despite facing a major setback with a fractured ankle on the road to the Paris Games 2024, Margie's resilience continues to inspire.
Rising from the dusty streets of Cebu, Margie Didal is no stranger to adversity. She began her skateboarding journey by selling noodles in a skatepark to make ends meet and borrowing boards from fellow skateboarders who became her first coaches. Her natural talent and competitive spirit led her to the national team, where she put skateboarding on the Filipino map by winning Gold at the 2018 Asian Games and two Golds at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games. Now, she faces a new challenge: recovering from her injury to qualify for the Paris Games 2024, showcasing her determination and strength.
This documentary delves into the pressures faced by Filipino Olympians, the journey of professionalizing skateboarding, and Margie's quest to inspire the next generation of athletes. This documentary premiered on Go Skateboarding Day, June 21 at the Power Plant Cinema and was also seen on Cignal TV’s ONE NEWS and ONE PH.
We hope that you enjoy this film!

she needs to be more recognized and full support by the government!!! if someone could tell me to buy her tshirt in an last olympics she worn . i want to buy it!!like 300$!!
Still consider her as one of the pride of the Phillippines for representing the country in the sports,CONGRATULATIONS AND GOODLUCK
I think we have better chance in skateboarding over basketball, it took years for Gilas to win and look at the skate community a lot of potential but less support from the gov't. Here comes Margie winning gold for the Philippines first try and training from DIY spots. I think the gov't should build more skate parks like they build more basketball courts across the Philippines,
Dapat talaga hindi na natin pinagpilitan ang mga sport na hindi naman talaga para sa atin. Gaya ng basketball, para yan sa mga matatangkad. Pansin ko halos lahat ng players, mga import. Lol.
@@aryan42162 agree...we've spent millions on basketball why not to other sports, diba? Build international standard skate and bike parks, have workshops, I think we are investing on the wrong sport.
@@aryan42162I don’t know why basketball is Philippines most popular sport. The average height of a Filipino male is 5’4 lol. That’s shorter than the average height of males around the world. The average height of a basketball player is 6’5 which is over one foot taller. There chances of ever playing for the nba is slim. Filipinos should get into soccer or skateboarding. Any sport where size and height aren’t a huge factor.
dont compare basketball to skateboarding.... its a whole different world.
May sarılıng sumusoporta sa gilas mga sir.

ang ganda ng skate park ng baler...grabe
Super lupet ng mnnga shoot..SUPER CONGRATS IDOL G ❤
Goosebumps watching, what an inspiration
I hope this would be an eye opener to PH Sports. Invest in other sports that we can have shot for gold.
more docu to come!!! appreciated watching margie and the skateboarding community with this film
Man, the support from lgu is massive today!. We have so many parks these days. Back in the '90s and early 2000s, you'd get chased by security guards spots like BGC! Massive thanks to the OGs of the community who laid the foundation for new skaters. Margie, in particular, paved the way for the younger gen of skaters!
Fully support at Margie arda didal!!!🎉
PANIS✨🔥
That's was Skateboarding was🔥🔥🔥
nice docu Ms. Gretchen Ho undoubtedly, every skateboarders dilemma back in the day.
Solid margielyn padayon lang skatesafe always ❤
Naalala ko noong nag skate ako sa concave skatepark with the Vans team and event sa cebu. Nag Game of Skate kami ni margie sa concave, sobrang bata pa nya doon pero marami na syang flip tricks that time 😊
Kudos kay Mamm Gretchen and sa lahat ng gumawa The Margielyn Didal Story ganda pagka edit. ;)
It's July at Paris go go Olimpian Godbless everyone 🎉🙏🏻📸🇵🇭
Ang ganda! More dokyu films to come! 👏
One day makakapasok din ako sa Olympics ❤
Great Story
more skate park sa Pinas please 🙏🏼
Pyter kaayo ning bisaya!💯💨🔥🤙
❤❤❤❤❤
Iba ang saya na nararamdaman pag naka buo ka ng isang trick!
❤❤❤

So overall, this was a great documentary. But I don’t know why you left that one of her biggest accomplishments. Just off the top of my head, I do believe Willie Santos is the only Filipino who ever had a professional model shoe in skateboarding or in any other sport in the world. She had an amazing color-way with New Balance 272. Where is she use the rice leaf wrap on her side panel. That’s one of the Dopest color ways ever. Please bring it back NB and put it in all your new balance stores throughout the Philippines. Let’s really support this amazing woman. Salamat Po.
New subbie po mam…
Ganda Direk Kuya Ry. 🤘🏻
Now they recognized what skateboarding can do.
👍🏽👍🏽♥️♥️♥️
Woah 💪👏
Well never win a medal if we're no so serious... They say have fun and enjoy competing but not too much. Look at Japan's women skateboarders you seldon see them smile and you will see the seriousness and willingness to win Sana ganun din so we can bag that medal in the future.
❤
👏👏
❤❤
Tama yan mag skate ka lang ng mag skate gat di kpa baldadu
no way cookie$ song played HAHAHA anyway that's a bisdak right there! go didal!
Gretchen ho, ang babaeng alanganin
Wala ba talagang ibang pweding isali?,kasi kung injury dapat may back up.,
Sayang si Marigielyn, mukhang nadistract na sa madaming bagay. Kulang din sa suporta mula sa gobyerno siguro.
Welcome back miss Gretch lol
Akala ko may skate park na sa cebu coz that was the mayor's to margie na bibigyan sila ng skate park. Mali ba ako? Cebu has a alot of skaters na talented why don't they support their community there? Dito sa ormoc meron na skate park and probinsya pa kami ah? Pero the mayor supports the sports din and they care for the talent of the local players. Sana jan din sa cebu ilado na kay mo sharo di mo maka provide sa inyo mga talents diha.
I guess po during post production of this video kakaopen lang ng park sa Talisay, Cebu kaya d nadala sa docu. But it exists hehehe
cringe
why?
Ang laki ng chance naten sa skateboarding, MTB and other sports na di big deal yung height. Mas bigyan sana ng support yung mga ganitong sports kesa sa basketball na wala naman talaga tayong chance
I remember 20 yrs ago people look at us like a drug addict.. No future sa madaling salita.. If you're a skater or play in an underground band you will be recognize as an addict.. Hahaha.. But it's good to see that times have changed a lot.. I'm already 44yrs old but still skating till my body hurts.. And yes, i still play underground music... Why? Because thats happiness at its finest for us
Goosebumps! Wala na dapat patunayan pa! Legend na yan si margie! Nakaka inspired!
She had her time. Sad to say hindi na nya kaya ang new breed of international skaters. Thank you Marg!
enjoy skateboarding pa rin Margie! it's all about the fun 😊👊🏽
Thank you for sharing the stories of Filipino athletes! Kudos to your team, sobrang ganda ng vision nyo in sharing these inspirational stories for future Filipino athletes :)
No proper skating facilities but able to win gold. There's a lot of basketball facilities but having difficulty to win gold.
Japan at top 🇯🇵
Thats fr
Napaka Ganda ng documentary nato .. Panalo skatepark sa Baler nung napuntahan ko sayang hindi pwede bmx rider ..
Idol Margiiieee wooooo!!!❤
Well done; the narrative was really clear.
I suppose what's behind the scenes is far more interesting! to differ.
Keep making formal connections with people!Continue working on projects that are just narrative in nature.
yah... Didal was already a gold for Phil. skate... but if this will just stuck here... very ordinary... it shall replicate more... it was shown... we can... good or best program shall be infused ... Pinoy can...
i want to frame it and displays and be proud of her!! hope GRETCHEN PASS THIS COMMENTS BY ME! 300$??
🫡💪🇵🇭
, , , wow amazing place sir❤❤❤
Building a skate park each city will help young pilipino skater
Naku malabo yan, kukurakutin lang ng mga nakaupo. Kung magpapatayo man, ung pinaka low quality na materials at design.
Nice Ms. Gretchen
want to greet Gretchen Ho, One 🆕 & Margielyn Didal a good morning! 🌄 Good saying Margielyn on your carrier in skateboarding and you once win a Asian Games gold medal before.

represented by Alejandro Muñoz want to greet you all a goodbye! See you and take care. 👍 😊 🛹 💜
UBEC REPRESENT!
"because there is nothing here in Cebu....", hayyyyy, agree with this. the hardest part out of this is the infrastructure. we dont have support to grow skateboarding when we should.in honesty, she should have a team by now - and an Olympic level of training center in that city.
Yan ang kakulangan sa mga skaters ntin
Lack of skate parks sna suportahan Ng govt. Ntin ang mga kabataan nting skaters. 16:25
Margie Did All For PH Skateboarding ❤
