    That means elevating the PSC into a full-blown department.
    Most likely so that they can get adequate funds for our athletes as well as sports infras. We need to be better equipped as other countries are investing in sports.

      That is just a dream... Sports is not priority here.. Philippines is within 3rd world countries.. those budgets will prioritize health and food for the poor people... Even look at whole south East Asian region, there is no medals all of them... But I hope Yulo will break the curse.. those two events (floor exercise and vault) are his favorites.. I hope he win a medal there...

        Sir Dotch,

        just for discussion sake and kindly educate us as well

        in FIDE's newly revised handbook

        does it allows athletes who previously change allegiance to go back to his original NF?

        we all know in FIBA and FIVB's handbook it's a no-no.

        thank you

        • Economics is a big gatekeeper in sports excellence.

          When you decide to become an athlete, you have to figure out...how will you manage to train/compete to become elite? Once you become elite, can you make a living out of it?

          These questions are easier to answer/solve in developed/rich countries.

          Boxing is an outlier sport for us because there are a lot of competent coaches and world-level athletes/competition within the country. No need to travel to other countries (which most other sports require) to get the necessary coaching and competing. It doesn't require much in terms of money to train as long as someone is willing to live a spartan life (which can actually even make you better at it).

          And as we all know, basketball is something very viable as a means of livelihood within the country. And you do not have to be world-elite to make a livelihood out of it, one can even make a living out of barangay ligas. Which is why for better or worse, majority of our male athletes pursue it, which also means they are not pursuing other sports. It stands to reason that a lot of our basketball athletes could have been better at a different sport.

                  Group A:
                  Australia + 2
                  Spain -5
                  Greece -14

                  Group B:
                  Brazil -25
                  Japan -24

                  Group C:
                  Serbia +15
                  South Sudan -6


                  South Sudan needs to close the game vs Serbia, to avoid minus point difference big margin.. same goes to Spain and especially to Greece, the Greeks should win big if they want to be in 3rd placer in their group... I guess one of Brazil and Japan will not make it even one of them will win, unless win big margin...
                  if they win they will qualified to qf outright as they will have a 2-1 record, top 2 teams of each group automatically qualify while 2 best 3rd placers via quotient will get the remaining two qf slots

                  as of today these 4 teams were in the quarterfinals

                  USA
                  Germany
                  France
                  Canada

                          Look at those muscles and how long that arms are as well as the height. That built is really more like a man.

                            Just rewatched the match, Imane has a natural competitive advantage, her punches are too lethal for her division

                            lets see the woke/pc crowd react to this

                              The Philippines sent a trans boxer in this Olympics as well, Hergie Bacyadan. I think the difference is, he was a former female, but still completes in the Women's Division.

                              Funny thing is, he often posts pictures of himself, just wearing "sando" and he looks like really a man ( flat chested, and toned arms). Im suspecting testosterone injections, which begs the question, do they test for testosterone levels as part of Anti-Doping protocols? Also, what is the threshold of the level to be classified as a male rather than a female?

                              He should compete in the Men's Division if he identifies as a male right, like this boxer from Algeria, who identifies as female, and competing in the Women's side.

                                I dont know how many times a chess player can switch allegiances, he represented PHL and now the US. My statement is an attempt of a tongue in cheek humor ( which failed, lolz)

                                Fun Fact: Wesley So represented the US for 5+ years before gaining US Citizenship. So technically he was still a Filipino repping USA in FIDE tournaments. He just had his US citizenship 3 years ago.
