BAMBOL'S FORECAST ON TARGET
The Philippine Star
|August 06, 2024
A few days before the Paris Olympics began last week, POC president and Tagaytay City Mayor Bambol Tolentino boldly predicted the Philippines would deliver more medals than the haul at the 2020 Tokyo Games
He also guaranteed to bring home more than just the lone gold that weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz garnered in the previous edition. So far, so good.
In Tokyo, the Philippine delegation of 19 athletes produced one gold, two silvers and a bronze for a total of four medals. As of yesterday, the Paris harvest has reaped two golds and two guaranteed bronzes to bring up the collection to four medals, equaling the Tokyo cache, from the band of 22 competitors.
