Margielyn Didal of the Philippines, who won the women's street skateboarding title at the previous Asian Games, could not get anything going this time, affected by a continued battle with pain from foot injuries.
But the 24-year-old was still determined to represent her country, where skateboarding is still a developing sport.
After her eighth-place finish in Wednesday's final at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, Didal told reporters that she has no choice but to train in other countries.
