Russell Cadayona - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Hinamon ni Pilipinas Sepak Takraw Association Inc. president Karen Tanchanco-Caballero ang kanyang mga atleta na makakuha ng medalya sa darating na 20th Asian Games sa Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.

Kung hindi ay matic na silang sibak sa national team.

“I’d like to share that there is already a courtesy resignation on all athletes if they do not come home with a medal,” wika ni Caballero kahapon sa Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum sa Phi­lippine Sports Commission media room.

Sinabi ito ng PSTAI chief sa kanyang mga atleta bago sumabak sa Aichi-Nagoya Asiad na nakatakda sa Setyembre 19 hanggang Oktubre 4.

“I mean we have given them all the support they needed for so many years. So it’s only fair for the Filipino taxpayers who pay for their allowances and support. So kumbaga, we only expect the best performance from our athletes and coaches,” ani Caballero.

Nakasampa ang national sepak takraw team sa podium matapos ang 33 taon sa paghablot sa dalawang bronze medal sa men’s regu at men’s quadrant sa 2022 Hangzhou Asiad sa China.

Nagmula rin ang koponan sa pagkopo sa makasaysayang kauna-unahang silver at bronze medal sa nakaraang ISTAF World Sepaktakraw Championship-39th Thai King’s Cup sa Bangkok.

Ang men’s regu team (3-on-3) ang kumubra ng silver, habang ang wo­men’s quadrant (4-on-4) ang sumikwat ng bronze.

Muling pamumunuan ni Jom Lerry Rafael, mi­yembro ng tropang nagwagi ng silver sa World Cup at bronze sa Hangzhou Asiad ang koponan.
