PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — The Philippine obstacle sports team continued its fine showing in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games as its men’s and women’s crew advanced to the gold-medal round at the Chroy Changvar Car Park here Thursday, May 4.
The men’s team of Jayr De Castro, Mervin Guarte, Elias Tabac and Ahgie Radan clocked 25.8566 seconds in the team relay elimination to arrange a gold-medal duel with Malaysia.
The women’s team of Mhick Tejares, Sandi Abahan, Tess Nocyao and Mecca Cortizano, for its part, timed 40.1780sec to go head-to-head with Indonesia for the top plum.
The team’s performance came a day after four Filipinos booked final berths in the men’s and women’s individual.
The PH team is hoping to replicate its successful showing in the 2019 edition held in Manila where the team completed a 6-gold sweep.
The event was shelved during last year’s Vietnam SEA Games.
