Twenty-two faces, one dream

MANILA, Philippines — It wasn’t a walk in the park.

Facing the jaws of adversity and teeth of struggle for years, Filipino athletes thrived and strived for greatness to scale Mt. Olympus, regardless of how steep the journey was.

With blood, sweat and tears, and unparalleled sacrifice, 22 ardent warriors made it to the top. And they’re ready to shock the world.

When the Olympic flames are officially lit, they, however, will not be fighting alone as the millions of Filipinos here and all corners of the world will rally behind them.

The Paris Olympics is there for the taking. Here are the 22 Filipino Olympians – the biggest Team Philippines delegation in over three decades since the 26-strong team in 1992 Barcelona Summer Games – who will try to conquer the summit of the biggest sporting spectacle on earth.
