Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman Richard Bachmann said there’s no need to sound the alarm on Team Philippines, which has yet to strike gold after Day 6 of the competition here. He said it’s too early for that.
“I’m still hoping,” Bachmann said. The gold has been elusive so far, even for skateboarder Margie Didal, who delivered one of the four golds in the 2018 edition. She came here nursing an ankle injury that required surgery 11 months ago, and finished eighth and last in her event last Wednesday. In 2018, the Philippines struck gold only after three days of competition through Hidilyn Diaz in women’s weightlifting. Also around that time, the Filipinos had four bronze medals on hand.
2 just in time for the quarterfinals and, hopefully, the medal games – if and when Gilas gets that far. Those who arrived late returned to Manila yesterday. But they joined the team for dinner Thursday in a fine steak house here – courtesy of SMB big boss Ramon S. Ang, and coursed through Chua, the new Gilas team manager. “’Yun ang utos ni RSA. Steak dinner para sa lahat,” said Chua.
