After months of preparation, the karatedo national team is all set to slug it out against the best in the world in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament (OQT) on June 11 to 14 in Paris, France.
Six members of the Philippine team, including Southeast Asian (SEA) Games gold medalist Jamie Lim, were in a training camp in Turkey for nearly three months to get themselves ready for the OQT.
