 The Philippine swimming team competing in the Beijing Olympics this August will have a fair chance of winning with the current format at the world’s most prestigious sporting event.
Head coach and former Olympian Carlos “Pinky” Brosas said the relatively new format of holding the preliminary matches in the evening leveled the playing field for the RP team.
“It gives us a fair chance kasi normally ‘yan lalangoy ka ng prelims mo sa umaga and when hindi kondisyon ang katawan mo,” said Brosas. |

Swimming great Eric Buhain’s historic Best Male Athlete Award from the 1989 Kuala Lumpur Southeast Asian Games will be one of the top attractions from among the many sports items on display in the San Miguel Corporation-Philippine Sportswriters Association (SMC-PSA) Annual Awards Night at the SM Mall of Asia on Feb. 16. Buhain’s award was the first-ever for a Filipino and also the first of his two tiaras, the other one coming in the 1991 Manila SEA Games. It is, however, interesting to note, that a portion of Buhain’s 1989 award, is missing. “The ball made up of pure gold sitting at the top of the award was stolen. Sadly, I was not able to recover it,” said the multi-titled swimmer-turned-sports official. |

SHE doesn't' have fins, nor does she lives underwater, but Le'an Cantil surely does know how to make waves. |
