The Philippines sustains gains in several sports but loses steam in others.
, we present the last part of this three-part yearend series where we review the significant happenings in Philippine sports this year. Before the COVID pandemic, the Philippines had its best outing in the 2018 Asian Games in terms of medal haul since 2002, winning the country’s most number of gold medals since 2006. It was followed by the overall championship in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, which the country hosted.
The Philippines fielded a leaner delegation in this year’s SEA Games held in Hanoi, Vietnam. The country slipped to fourth place in the overall standings. Though the Philippines copped 52 gold medals in Vietnam, which paled in comparison to the 149 it won in the 2019 edition, what must be noted was that the country was represented by just 656 athletes in 38 sports. When the country hosted the SEA Games in 2019, it fielded 1,115 athletes competing in 56 sports.
This still bodes well for the country as 2023 will be busier with the rare occurrence of the SEA Games and the Asian Games happening in the same year.2022 was the year EJ Obiena truly stamped his class as among the world’s best.
