Pinoy Olympians lag behind


Pinoy Olympians lag behind
Joaquin M. Henson
The Philippines has made 21 appearances in the Olympics since 1924 and delivered a total of 10 medals in eight Summer Games. That means in 13 Olympics, the Philippines came home without a medal or a losing rate of 62 percent. Five of the 10 medals and four of the last five were from boxing. Athletics and swimming accounted for two bronzes each but the medals were delivered eons ago, in 1928, 1932 and 1936. The tally is two silvers and three bronzes from boxing, a silver from women’s weightlifting and two bronzes each from athletics and swimming.
The Philippines ranks second in the dubious list of countries with the most Olympic medals but no gold. Malaysia is first with 11 medals (seven silvers, four bronzes) and no gold. Countries that have already won at least a gold in the Olympics include Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, Kosovo, Syria, Jordan, Mongolia and Fiji. ....
