Aside from the Olympic Qualifying Tournament (OQT) next month, the fencing national team is using the bubble training camp in Ormoc City to prepare for this year’s Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.
Five of the six Filipino fencers competing in the OQT are with 11 other athletes inside the bubble, and national team coach Amat Canlas said they are gearing up for the 31st biennial meet in Vietnam.
Canlas clarified that all 16, plus others who are training in Manila and in other countries will still need to join the tournament in June for the selection process of the national team for the SEA Games.
