Wunderkind Mazel Paris Alegado put on another jaw-dropping performance and barged into the quarterfinal round of the 2025 World Skateboarding Tour in Ostia, Italy.
Alegado, 11, earned the judges’ nods after entering inside the Top 32, out of the 58-woman field who will proceed to the quarters of the global showpiece.
The Fontana, California native accumulated a total of 65.20 points in her three runs to secure the 24th spot in the Women’s Open list where she is one of the youngest participants.
Alegado would have enough time to perfect her craft as the quarters set next Friday, June 13.
She is also the lone Filipina bet in the series that will take place across Italy, Japan and USA within this year and features current and up-and-coming stars in the park.
Almost two years ago, the country’s skateboarding prodigy made a historic appearance in the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games where she was the youngest member of the Filipino contingent at the age of 9.
