Following the successful stint of the national weightlifting team in the recently concluded Asian Championship in Uzbekistan, Samahang Weightlifting ng Pilipinas (SWP) president Monico Puentevella said he is likely to retain the setup in terms of preparation for the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam.
Unlike most national sports associations that prefer a bubble training camp for athletes preparing for the SEA Games, Puentevella said they are looking at having the lifters train in their respective hometowns.
He said that after the Tokyo Olympics, the SWP would conduct a tryout this August in Bacolod City for the biennial meet in Vietnam that will comprise members of the national team.
