Jericho Francisco proves to be prophetic as PH sweeps park golds in SEA Games skateboard
Jericho Francisco Jr. and his student Mazel Paris Alegado secured gold medals for the Philippines in the park skateboarding events at the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in Bangkok.
Francisco replicated his 2019 win by topping the men's park event, while 11-year-old Alegado became the youngest Filipino gold medalist in this edition by winning the women's park event.
Another mentee of Francisco, 11-year-old Elizabeth Amador, earned the women's park silver medal, completing a 1-2 finish for the Philippines in the women's event.
Francisco expressed his disbelief and joy, noting that he had predicted a sweep of the park events for the Philippines a month and a half prior.
The 24-year-old Francisco, a professional skateboard instructor, found winning alongside his students to be particularly fulfilling.
