Triathlon Association of the Philippines (TRAP) President Tom Carrasco is optimistic the country can send its first triathlete to the Olympics in the Tokyo edition this year.
Carrasco pins his hopes mostly on 29-year-old Kim Mangrobang, who has won three gold medalist in the Southeast Asian Games.
“Kim M. is healthy, hopefully until the Olympics. I’m quite optimistic with her,” Carrasco said.
Mangrobang has been training extensively in a camp Desmor, Portugal until early April with Portuguese coach Sergio Santos.
Individual rankings will be used to determine the quota places for athletes in the Olympics with the Top 26 in the world earning berths and one each from various Continents.
