Pinakamalaking delegasyon sa SEAG

Francisco Cagape - Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines — Kabuuang 1,895 ath­letes, coaches at offi­cials ang mi­yembro ng Team Philippines para sa 30th Southeast Asian Games na nakatakda sa Nobyembre 30-Disyembre 11.

Ito ang inihayag ni Phi­lippine Olympic Com­mittee (POC) pre­­­si­­dent Ricky Var­gas sa PSA Fo­rum kahapon sa Ame­lie Hotel-Manila.

Ito na ang pinakama­laking delegasyon ng ban­sa sa SEA Games sa­pul nang sumali noong 1977.

“Yes, these would be the biggest ever dele­ga­tion that we have formed for the SEA Games in history. But this time kasi, we are the host kaya puwede iyan sa atin,” sabi ni Vargas.

Ayon pa kay Vargas, ibinalik ng POC ang obs­tacle sports bilang ika-57 sports discipline dahil umabot sa apat na bansa ang nagkumpir­mang lalahok sa sports obstacle racing na gagawin sa Subic Bay Freeport Zone sa Zambales.

“We have restored obs­tacle sports in our ca­lendar because Laos has already confirmed to join the competition. So, there are now four participating nations in obstacle. They now meet the requirement,” dagdag ng POC chief.

Nauna nang tinanggal ang obstacles sports at women’s baseball sa kalendaryo ng SEA Games dahil tat­long bansa lamang ang nag­pa­hayag na sasali kaya kulang sa kaila­ngang apat na partisipante.

Ang women’s baseball ay tinanggal sa SEA Games bunga ng ka­kulangan ng lahok na isa sana sa inaasahang mag­bibigay ng gold me­dal sa Team Philippines.
