Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino was both fearless and realistic with his projection for the coming Paris Olympics.
MANILA, Philippines –
Tolentino said everything points to a similar or better medal haul in Paris, where 22 Filipino athletes led by World No. 2 pole vaulter EJ Obiena and world champion gymnast Carlos Yulo and the five-strong boxing team will shoot for fame, fortune and glory along with other athletes in track and field, gymnastics, weightlifting, swimming, rowing, golf and fencing.
“With this template, with this preparation, we will deliver,” said Tolentino during the forum presented by San Miguel Corporation, Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee, Smart/PLDT, MILO, and ArenaPlus, the leading sports entertainment in the Philippines. “But definitely we will surpass Tokyo. Bahala na kayo kung one gold, two golds or three golds basta ma- surpass natin yung Tokyo. We’re all excited. Iba na yung mood ng athletes, level up na lahat. So, I’d like to thank the Philippine Sports Commission and our private partners and the Office of the President,” said the POC chief.
