HANGZHOU: It's on to the World Qualifying Tournament for Tokyo Olympics silver medalist Nesthy Petecio as she continues to seek a pathway to the Paris Olympiad in 2024.
Petecio's dream of qualifying to the Summer Games next year via the 19th Asian Games here came to an early and abrupt end at the hands of Chinese-Taipei's Lin Yu Ting, an opponent she had defeated in the Round of 16 on her way to the 54-57 kg women's boxing final two years ago in Japan.Lin got her revenge before a partisan crowd, earning a 4-1 nod from the judges against her Olympics tormentor at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium.
In her corner to lend support is Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines chairman Ricky Vargas, who sent the Filipina boxer a reassuring message right after her fight with the Taiwanese.The message read: Nesthy naniniwala ako sa iyo. Kung gusto mo, kaya mo. Napatunayan mo na yan. You can rebound when you put your mind to it kung gusto mo bumalik sa Olympics. I am proud of what you have accomplished. This is just a bump and [I'm] confident on what you still can.
