2 gold, 3 silvers sa Phl delegation

Pilipino Star Ngayon

NANJINA, China -- Wa­la nang mahihingi pa si Chef-De-Mission Nathaniel ‘Tac’ Padilla sa ipinakita ng Philip­pine delegation sa 2nd Asian Youth Games.

Sinabi ni Padilla, isang da­ting youth athlete, na ba­go pa lamang umalis ng May­nila ang mga Filipino ath­letes ay naniwala na si­yang mananalo ang mga ito ng gold medal.

“I was confident we can win the gold here but our athletes did not only deliver one but two gold medals on top of three silver me­dals,” sabi ng five-time SEA Games gold medalist sa 54-strong delegation.

Kumuha ng gintong me­dalya sina Golfer Mia Le­gaspi at taekwondo jin Pau­line Louise Lopez, habang pilak ang sinikwat ni­na Princess Superal sa golf, Francis Aaron Agojo sa taekwondo at Jurence Men­doza sa tennis.

Pormal na isinara kagabi ang 2nd AYG sa Nanjing Olympic Stadium.

Ayon kay Padilla, dapat nang paghandaan ng bansa ang 3rd AYG sa Sri Lanka sa 2017.

“If we start training now and start scouting athletes for the next AYG then we should have a better performance,” ani Padilla.

Tumapos ang bansa bi­lang No. 12 sa hanay ng 45 bansa sa medal stan­dings na pinangunahan ng Chi­na (46-23-24), South Ko­rea (25-13-14), Japan (7-5-6), Thailand (6-5-16) at Chinese-Taipei (6-11-13).
