BANGKOK—John Cabang Tolentino, a hurdler based in Spain, gave Team Philippines a ray of hope by advancing to the 110-meter final in Day 2 of the 24th Asian Athletics Championships at the Supachalasai National Stadium.
“It feels so good to qualify for tomorrow’s final after the semifinals were already canceled in the afternoon,” Tolentino said. “I will definitely run faster tomorrow, and I’ll try my best to hit the Olympic standard [13.27]. Let’s see.” “That 13.70 is good news for us. It only shows that he’s at a good level,” national head coach Jojo Posadas said. “We are hoping he can break his record again in the final.”
Tolentino breathed life in to the Philippine campaign, which started sourly on Day 1 Wednesday when Frederick Ramirez ran a personal best 46.53 seconds in the semifinals of the men’s 400 meters but still missed the cut.
