TEAM Philippines’ preparation for the rescheduled Olympic Games this year continues despite the uncertainties clouding the staging of the sporting spectacle.
Mariano Araneta, the country’s chef de mission to the Tokyo Olympics, said that while training of the Filipino athletes has hit speed bumps because of the prevailing conditions with the pandemic, they still remain committed to their push in the Games and do well.
Currently the Philippines has four athletes EJ Obiena (pole vault), Caloy Yulo (gymnastics), and Eumir Felix Marcial and Irish Magno (boxing) who have qualified for the Olympics, but others are expected to join them.
