MANILA, Philippines — Filipino hurdlers John Cabang and Lauren Hoffman await their official entries to the Paris Olympics which comes off the wraps on July 26.
Cabang and Hoffman finished within the quota rankings of the men's 110m and women's 400m events, respectively, as the Olympic qualification period ended on June 30. Cabang placed 29th in his event while Hoffman finished 38th in hers, with both of their disciplines set to have athletes who finished in the top 40 advancing to the Paris Games.The final rankings and qualified athletes for the Games may only be formalized later this week but Cabang and Hoffman should make it.
Gilas Pilipinas is also vying for that coveted Olympic spot in men's basketball but the chances for the nationals to make it is realistically low. The Filipino dribblers need to be the champions of the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Latvia from July 2 to 7 no less to make the Games.Fell short Other Philippine bets Robyn Brown, Janry Ubas, and Rio Olympian Eric Cray fell short of advancing to the Paris Olympics.
