Mojdeh, 2 pang tankers mapapalaban
SHANGHAI, China -- Babanderahan ni Palarong Pambansa Most Bemedalled Athlete Micaela Jasmine Mojdeh ang kampanya ng Philippine Swimming League (PSL) sa paglarga ngayong umaga ng 2018 Shanghai Invitational Swimming Championships sa Oriental Sports Center dito.
Magtatangkang umani ng gintong medalya ang Immaculate Heart of Mary College-Parañaque standout at back-to-back Swimmer of the Year na si Mojdeh sa girls’ 11-12 division.
Unang sasabak si Mojdeh sa 50m butterfly kung saan makakasagupa niya ang mas matatangkad na Chinese swimmers gayundin ang ibang bansang kalahok kagaya ng Southeast Asian power Singapore.
Masisilayan din si Mojdeh sa 100m butterfly at 200m butterfly sa torneong lalahukan ng mahigit 500 tankers mula sa iba’t ibang panig ng rehiyon.
“It’s going to be a tough one since they’ll be competing against the world’s best young swimmers especially those from the host country. China is one of the powerhouse teams in world and it’s a good opportunity for our swimmers to learn their techniques and styles,” wika ni PSL president Susan Papa na kasama rin sa delegasyon si secretary general Maria Susan Benasa.
Makakasama ni Mojdeh sa kampanya sina Indian Ocean All-Star Challenge medalist Lucio Cuyong II at Japan Age-Group Championship veteran Joanna Amor Cervas, parehong miyembro ng Aklan Swimming Team.
Hahataw si Cuyong sa boys’ 14-year 50m breastroke, 100m breaststroke at 200m breaststroke, samantalang masisilayan si Cervas sa girls’ 11-12 50m butterfly, 100m butterfly at 200m butterfly.
“We are optimistic of our chances. Jasmine is fresh from a successful campaign in Palarong Pambansa in Vigan and we’re hoping to continue her winning ways here in China. Cuyong and Cervas are likewise all set after undergoing intensive training in Aklan,” dagdag ni Papa.
