MANILA, Philippines — Anim na national archers ang pagpipilian ng World Archery Philippines (WAP) na isasabak sa qualifying tournament para sa 2021 Olympic Games sa Tokyo, Japan.

Ang mga ito, ayon kay WAP president Clint Aranas, ay sina Jayson Feliciano ng Dagupan City, Carson Hastie, Pia Bidaure, Phoebe Amistoso at Gabrielle Monica Bidaurem ng Dumaguete City at US-based Riley Silos.

“We normally pick the best archers from the local qualifiers before sending them to the Olympic qualifiers,’’ wika ni Aranas. “We only send people who are in their A-game to these world shoots.”

Noong 2014 Youth Olympic Games na idinaos sa Nanjing, China ay tumudla ng gintong medalya si Gabriel Moren.

Kabuuang 128 qualifying places, tig-64 sa men’s at women’s division, ang nakalaan sa 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

Sinabi ni Aranas, maghahamon kay Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) incumbent president Abraham ‘Bambol’ Tolentino ng cycling sa presidential race sa Nobyembre 27, na magiging mahigpit ang WAP sa pagpili ng isasabak sa Olympic qualifying.

Sina pole vaulter Ernest John Obiena, gymnast Carlos Edriel Yulo at boxers Eumir Felix Marcial at Irish Magno at qualified na sa Tokyo Olympics .
