Mojdeh nag-beast mode sa Malaysia
MANILA, Philippines — Inilabas ni Behrouz Elite Swimming Team (BEST) Philippines ace tanker Micaela Jasmine Mojdeh ang beast mode nito matapos sumungkit ng dalawang gintong medalya sa 58th Malaysia Invitational Age Group Swimming Championships kahapon sa National Aquatic Center sa Kuala Lumpur Sports Complex sa Bukit Jalil, Malaysia.
Matapos magkasya sa pilak na medalya sa opening day, rumesbak ang World Junior Championships semifinalist na si Mojdeh kung saan bumanat ito ng ginto sa girls’ 15-17 400m Individual Medley.
“At first I don’t want to swim the 400 IM since I really never liked this event. It is one of the hardest event in swimming and I wanted to focus on 100 fly because after 400 IM its 100 fly event,” ani Mojdeh.
Itinala ni Mojdeh ang limang minuto at 7.42 segundo para pataubin sina Cambodia Southeast Asian Games-bound Indonesian tankers Gusti Ayu Made (5:09.39) at Shakthi Balakrishnan (5:14.86) na nagkasya sa pilak at tanso, ayon sa pagkakasunod.
“I just listened to Coach Virgie de Luna. He told me that whatever my mind can conceive my body can achieve. So I focus really the feeling of my body. I don’t want to go so fast in my fly event since I might end up dying on freestyle. So I did my strokes smoothly,” dagdag ni Mojdeh.
Muling umarangkada sa afternoon session si Mojdeh nang masikwat nito ang ikalawang ginto sa 100m butterfly matapos magsumite ng 1:03.23.
Pinataob ni Mojdeh ang Indonesian na sina Lilly Kartina Beales (1:03.36) at Ayu Made (1:04.34).
