Mojdeh sumisid ng tanso sa Singapore
MANILA, Philippines — Magarbong tinapos ni national pool member Micaela Jasmine Mojdeh ang kampanya nito matapos masungkit ang tansong medalya sa huling araw ng prestihiyosong 55th Singapore National Age Group Swimming Championships na ginanap sa OCBC Aquatic Centre sa Singapore.
Nakipagsabayan ang Behrouz Elite Swimming Team tanker na si Mojdeh sa matitikas na swimmers sa women’s 200m butterfly kabilang na si reigning Southeast Asian Games champion Quah Jing Wen ng Singapore.
Nairehistro ni Mojdeh ang dalawang minuto at 19.50 segundo sapat para masiguro ang tansong medalya habang napasakamay naman ni Quah ang ginto bunsod ng naitarak nitong 2:11.66.
Pumangalawa ang isa pang Singaporean bet na si Fann Rui Toh na nagsumite naman ng 2:16. 28.
“I was a bit disappointed with my 200m butterfly. While I improved by two seconds in the finals, I aimed for 2:15, closer to my Junior Worlds personal best. I did achieve a personal best 1:05 split for the first 100m, which is what I am happy about. I just need to sustain my back half in order to get a better splits next time,” ani Mojdeh.
Magandang exposure ito para kay Mojdeh na naghahanda para sa PAI National Tryout na gaganapin sa Agosto na magsisilbing qualifying event para sa SEA Games sa Disyembre.
May personal best si Mojdeh na 2:13 na bronze standard para sa SEA Games subalit desidido ito na mas mapaganda pa ang kanyang oras.
Maganda rin ang ipinamalas ni Mojdeh sa dalawa pang buttefly events — ang 100m butterfly at 50m butterfly kung saan nakakuha ito ng disenteng oras para magtapos sa ikaapat na puwesto.
Nagtala si Mojdeh ng 1:02.81 sa 100m butterfly na pinagreynahan din ni Quah tangan ang 59.85 segundo.
Naorasan pa ang Filipino-Iranian tanker ng 28.76 segundo sa 50m butterfly kung saan namayagpag naman ang isa pang SEA Games gold medalist na si Quah Ting Wen na may 26.72 segundo.
“I’m thrilled with my 50m and 100m butterfly times. Achieving personal bests in both prelims and finals allowed me to strategize and correct my mistakes. Adjustments in breathing and touch were key to lowering my times,” ani Mojdeh.
Nagpasalamat si Mojdeh sa patuloy na sumusuporta sa kanya kabilang na ang mga coaches at teammates nito gayundin ang kanyang supportdive parents na sina Joan at Harold Mohammad Modj Mojdeh.
“Thank you so much to Coach Weng for the push in the pool, Coach Jek for strength training, Coach Doll for support in Singapore, my teammates Amina and Xiandi, and Royals Swim Club for making tough sets bearable.
“To my dad for early morning drives to training, and my mom for her unwavering support, thank you all! Now, I will go back more hungry as ever for things I need to work on,” pagtatapos ni Mojdeh.
