WHILE qualifying for the rescheduled Olympic Games is foremost for the national karate team as it begins its training âbubble,â it also has its sights on the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games later this year.
Speaking at Tuesdayâs online Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum, Karate Pilipinas Sports Federation, Inc. President Richard Lim shared that apart from the Olympics, they also have their eyes on the SEA Games in November in Vietnam.
âNovember may still be far, but for an athlete preparing for the SEA Games, thatâs near,â said Mr. Lim, who was one of the guests in the forum along with Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) National Training Director Mark Velasco.

THE planned return to training of national athletes vying for a spot in the rescheduled Olympic Games at the weekend did not push through and instead was delayed by a week, but the Philippine Sports Commissionâs (PSC) reminder on safety stays.
In a virtual orientation last week, the PSC reiterated that while the return to training of the athletes is very important with less than 200 days to go before the sporting spectacle to be held in Tokyo and final qualifiers for it just around the corner, such should not be done at the expense of proper health and safety protocols.
