Philippines going full force in AIMAG
MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines will send a 160-strong delegation in the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games (AIMAG) early next year in Bangkok and Chonburi, Thailand with hopes of replicating its Olympic triumph.
Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino said the contingent boasts a slew of potential medalists out to provide a solid follow-up to the country’s best Olympic performance in history in Tokyo last month.
“The objective is to ride the momentum of the Tokyo Olympics success,” said Tolentino, adding that the country will also try to surpass its two-gold medal haul in the 2017 AIMAG held in Turkmenistan.
Jiu-jitsu athletes Meggie Ochoa and Annie Ramirez won the country’s two gold medals four years ago.
