The 23-year-old skateboarder became a star when she won gold in the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia -- one of four gold medals won by Filipina athletes in the Asiad. Didal went on to compete in the Tokyo Olympics where she finished in seventh place, while emerging as a fan favorite, thanks to her celebrations and bubbly personality.

In 2018, she revealed to ABS-CBN that her family accepts her for who she is.

"Nagpapasalamat ako sa parents ko dahil pinalaki nila ako nang maayos, sinuportahan nila kung ano iyong gusto ko kahit pasaway ako. As an LGBT din, tanggap ako ng parents ko. 'Yun lang, mahal ko po sila," said Didal.
