THE PHILIPPINES sustained its juggernaut in the Asian Youth and Junior Championships as Rosalinda Faustino and Rosegie Ramos added three gold medals apiece Tuesday to the country’s mighty haul in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Ms. Faustino swept all the mints in the women’s 49-kilogram youth division with lifts of 71 kg in snatch, 90 kg in clean and jerk and 161 kg in total, while Ms. Ramos pulled off the same feat in the 49 kg junior class with 80 kg in snatch, 96 kg in clean and jerk and 176 kg in total.
Four of those mints came from Rosegie’s younger sister, Rose Jean, while the two were delivered by Angeline Colonia days before.
