SHANGHAI, China — Nakumpleto ni Phi­lippine Swimming League (PSL) Swimmer of the Year Mica­ela Jasmine Mojdeh ang sweep matapos sumisid ng dalawang gintong me­dalya sa huling araw ng 2018 Shanghai Invitational Swimming Championships na ginaganap sa Oriental Sports Center dito.

Ipinagpatuloy ng Pala­rong Pam­bansa Most Be­me­dalled Athlete ang kan­yang dominasyon nang pag­rey­nahan ang girls’ 11-12 100m butterfly sa pamamagitan ng isang minuto at 7.25 segundong tiyempo sapat upang muling dispa­tsahin si Amber Lim ng Chi­na na nagrehistro ng 1:17.77 para sa pi­lak.

Napasakamay naman ni Kalibo, Aklan pride Joana Amor Cervas ang tanso ta­ngan ang 1:25.74 sa torne­ong nilahukan ng 1,200 tan­kers mula sa mahigit 30 bansang dumating.

“She really is the future of Philippine swimming. She has already embraced the responsibility of car­rying the na­tional colors in in­ternational competitions. That’s why we’re sending our athletes abroad to further hone their skills and learn from their foreign counterparts,” wika ni PSL pre­sident Susan Papa.

Ngunit hindi dito natapos ang pamamayagpag ng 11-anyos na tanker nang muling umatake sa 200m butterfly kung saan nag­sumite siya ng 2:27.97 pa­ra patumbahin ang mas matatangkad na Chinese swimmers.

Nauna nang nagbulsa si Mojdeh ng gintong me­dalya sa 50m butterfly sa kanyang 30.62 segundong ipinamalas sa opening day.

“It was a great performance and we’re loo­king forward to train her for the Southeast Asian Age-Group Cham­pionship come July in Manila. She’s qua­lified to compete in the SEA Age-Group because of her sterling showing in Pa­larong Pambansa,” dagdag pa ni Papa.

Nakahirit ng isang pilak at isang tanso si Lucio Cu­yong sa boys’ 14-year event.

Sumegunda si Cuyong sa 200m breaststroke sa bisa ng 2:43.00 na naitala, ha­bang pumangatlo naman siya sa 100m breaststroke makaraang ilagak ang 1:16.00.

Sa kabuuan, nakalikom ang PSL ng tatlong ginto, da­­lawang pilak at dalawang tansong medalya.

“We’re happy that we’ll be going home with medals. All three of them won medals in their respective events and I would like to congratulate them for a job well done. Competing against the likes of China and some other European swimmers in this event is al­ready an achievement for them. But winning medals is just an icing on the cake,” wika pa ni Papa na kasama sa delegasyon sina PSL sec­retary general Maria Su­san Benasa at regional di­­rector Joan Mojdeh.
