Mojdeh sumisid ng pilak sa France meet

MANILA, Philippines — Mainit na sinimulan ng Pinoy tankers ang kampan­ya nito matapos ibigay ni Micaela Jasmine Mojdeh ang unang medalya ng Philippines BEST-Swim League Philippines sa 10th Circle of Swimmers of Melun Val de Seine na ginaganap sa Piscine de Melun swimming pool sa Melun, France.

Nasikwat ng 15-anyos Brent International School standout ang pilak na medalya sa women’s 400m individual medley matapos magrehistro ng limang minuto at 12.03 upang malampasan ang kanyang personal best.

“Day 1 was a good opening day for the team BEST (Behrouz Elite Swimming Team) in Melun. Jasmine managed to lower her time by almost 5 seconds in 400 IM which was our aim from the beginning. It helped that they have strong swimmers here in France that gave them extra boost in swimming faster despite the cold weather that they are really not used to,” ani Philippines BEST-SLP team manager Joan Mojdeh.

Nasungkit ni Youth Olympic Games veteran Melanie Lenoir ng France ang ginto bunsod ng naitala nitong 5:05.81 habang napasakamay ng isa pang French tanker na si Malia Jenvir ang tanso bitbit ang 5:16.24.

“We would very much like to thank the hardwor­king and very  generous organizing committee Coach Herve Piquee, Judith Communaudat and Fadela El Barodi and entire Melun community for welcoming us and helping the team in coming to France. We would not be here without their help and support for the team,” wika pa ni Mojdeh.
