SEAG-bound bets to
be pruned down

The Philippine Olympic Committee will evaluate the chances of the more than 700 athletes initially listed to carry the country's colors in the 2007 Southeast Asian Games in Thailand and prune it down as preparation for the biennial meet heads into the homestretch.

Bacolod Rep. Monico Puentevella, the POC first vice-president, said the athletes' gold-medal potentials will be evaluated carefully by the Olympic body. "We are already overloaded. It may be more than the number of athletes that we fielded when we hosted the SEA Games two years ago," Puentevella said in a telephone interview.
