MILESTONE WIN. Filipina rower Joanie Delgaco advances to the quarterfinals after beating her Vietnamese rival, Pham Thi Hue, by five seconds during the women's single sculls repêchages rowing competition at Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Center during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on Sunday, July 28, 2024.
Her achievement marked another milestone for Philippine rowing, following in the footsteps of Cris Nievares, who also reached the quarterfinals in the Tokyo Olympics.“First-time Olympian Joanie just made history. Again. Qualifying in the quarterfinals means she is among the Top 24 in the world,” said rowing president Pato Gregorio.
The first-time Olympian Catantan, who prepared for the Olympics with the help of her Italian coach at Penn State University in Matteo Zennaro, stared at a 4-7 deficit and appeared to hurt the same left knee that she rehabilitated from an ACL injury suffered in the Cambodia SEA Games, when she backtracked in the first round against the Brazilian.
The 36-year-old Errigo, the gold medalist in the 2012 London Olympics, posted her biggest lead of 11-6 in the second, but the 22-year-old Catantan would not go away.
