HANGZHOU, China – Rower Joanie Delgaco missed in her medal bid in the 19th Asian Games, winding up fifth in women’s single sculls event of the rowing competitions at the Fuyang Water Sports Centre here Monday.
Prakaten, who won the silver medal for Russia in the Tokyo Olympics, topped the 2,000-meter race in 7:39.05, edging Liu, who clocked 7:49.98.“Asian rowing final is a world-class field. To achieve a fifth-place finish is truly commendable,” said Philippine Rowing Association president Patrick Gregorio, referring to the 25-year-old Bicolano’s effort.
“We will continue to focus. The Paris 2024 single sculls will have five Asian qualifiers,” he said, adding that Cris Nievarez also has a good chance of returning to the Olympics following his eighth place finish in the men’s single sculls event.
