POST-SEAG REPORT
Negrense athletes
deliver less golds
BY CEDELF TUPAS
Just like the Philippines' ranking, there was also a drop in the contribution of Negros Occidental's athletes to the country's gold coffers in the 24 th Southeast Asian Games that ended Saturday in Thailand.
Negrense athletes hauled four gold medals in the Philippines ' dismal sixth place finish. The RP bets finished the biennial meet with 41 golds, 91 silvers and 91 bronzes.
With only hammer throw king Arniel Ferrera and judoka John Baylon striking individual golds, Negros Occidental's output was eight golds less than two years ago when the Philippines ruled the Games that was hosted in Manila, Cebu and Bacolod.

Stephen Hinojales, Janette Gonzaga and Tootsie Anglo took turns in providing the country shining moments in the prestigious AustralAsia Shootfest in Pattaya, Chorburi province in Thailand . Gonzaga, the GCNO president, ruled the standard (.40 caliber) ladies division of the Dec. 4-9 event, while Anglo brought home three trophies in the production division (.9mm) --- the senior shoot-off title, second overall and second overall in the senior contest. |
