USA’s Mariah Duran topped the semifinals with 21.2 points, while Brazil’s Pamela Rosa (19.0) and Rayssa Leal (18.9) placed 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Also reaching the finals are Japan’s Yumeka Oda (18.8) and Aori Nishimura (18.5), Netherlands’ Candy Jacobs (16.7), USA’s Alexis Sablone (16.5), and Brazil’s Gabriela Mazzeto (16.5). 

gold medalist in the Asian Games last year, Didal will try to dazzle in front of her compatriots in the upcoming Southeast Asian Games that the country will host starting November. – Rappler.com
