[Title] => Make that 38 golds for Yeo
[Summary] => LOS BAÑOS, Laguna — In the 1991 Manila Southeast Asian Games, Singapore’s Joscelin Yeo was an obscure 11-year-old tanker chasing a dream.
Seven SEAG editions and 14 years later, the amazing Korean-born Yeo has already amassed a whopping 38 gold medals — and she’s still counting.
Adjudged the best female athlete in the 2003 Hanoi Games with a six-gold harvest, Yeo, who operates her own swimming school named Yeo’s Aquatics back home, has become the darling of the crowd at the Trace Aquatics Center here.

[Summary] => LOS BANOS, Laguna — Sheila Mae Perez snared the 1m springboard gold medal yesterday to become the 23rd Southeast Asian Games’ first triple gold medal winner in a victory that more than made up for the heartbreaking loss by countryman Rexel Ryan Fabriga at the Trace Aquatics Center here.
Perez, 19, overcame a faulty first attempt and fought her way back with superb performance highlighted with a reverse 1 1/2 summersault, 1 1/2 twist free position to edge Leong Mun Yee of Malaysia for the gold with 267.66 points.

[Title] => Asuncions rank 22nd; RP bets depart
[Summary] => Good news and bad news for RP badminton.
Kennevic and Kennie Asuncion have improved from No. 24 to No. 22 in the International Badminton Federation mixed doubles rankings, thanks to their strong showing in the recent IBF World Championships in Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California where they reached the Last 16 phase.
The bad news is there are five more from the Southeast Asian region that are better-ranked than the brother-sister tandem, thus making it difficult for the Filipinos to vie for medal honors in the 23rd SEA Games here this November.
