The efforts and achievements of the country’s rare breed of athletes who carried the national colors in the Olympics will now be forever immortalized in digital form.
The Philippine Olympians Association has launched “The Living Archive of Olympians PH” website recently in a bid to relive the feats of all Filipino Olympians past and present during their respective journey to the world’s grandest spectacle in sports.
POA president Akiko Thomson-Guevara said the website www.philippineolympians.org intends to showcase a comprehensive database of all Filipino Olympians that can be searched alphabetically or by sport since the Philippines competed in the 1924 Paris Olympics.
