However, only the top three finishers in the tournament shall earn outright berths to the Tokyo Olympics slated to open next month. Despite a dismal showing in Italy by the 22-year-old skateboarder from Cebu, she is still on track to qualify for the Tokyo Games by way of Olympic world ranking points. The top 16 skateboarders in the rankings will also advance to the Olympics, and Didal is currently at No. Didal's current ranking points of 27,560 are also expected to go up after her semifinals finish in the World Championships. With Brazil having five skateboarders inside the top 16, two of its skateboarders will not be playing in Tokyo.
