Tolentino makes rowing final; teammates sink
November 29, 2005 | 12:00am
The Philippine rowing team sputtered in mid-morning races, failing to finish in the top three of four events held at the La Mesa Dam in Quezon City yesterday.
Olympian Benjamin Tolentino was the lone bright spot for the Nationals as he won his heat in the lightweight men single sculls, finishing the 2000 meters race in 7:42.19, to gain a berth in the finals tomorrow.
In the womens single scull, Indonesias Pere Karoba, the 2003 SEAG gold medalist, ruled the preliminary race, while RPs Nida Cordova finished a distant fourth.
The pair of Clothelde Nillas and Johna Lyn Peirita finished fifth in the lightweight womens double sculls race won by Thailands Phaengkathok and Nikree Phuttharaska, also a 2003 SEAG gold medalist.
Tolentino, on the other hand, failed to win his second race as he and partner Jose Rodriguez placed fourth in the mens coxless pair event won by Indonesias Aji Agus and Iswandi, gold medalists in the Vietnam Games. Brian Adrian Borleo
