Kayla Sanchez, pokus sa Hangzhou Asiad- Tolentino

Hindi makalalaro si Kayla Sanchez sa world aquatics championships na nakatakda ng walong araw sa Fukuoka upang makapagkonsentra sa kampanya sa Hangzhou 20th Asian Games bilang full-fledged Filipino athlete, ayon kay Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Rep. Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino.


Hawak ni Sanchez, 22, ang isang Olympic silver at tatlong world championships gold medals nang katawanin sa swimming ang Canada. Pero piniling lumipat sa bansang kanyang sinilangan ang Pilipinas noong nakaraang taon.


Sinabi ni Tolentino na si Sanchez, sa payo na rin ng kanyang coach ay nagpasyang magpokus sa Hangzhou Asian Games sa September at hindi na makalalahok sa world championships simula Hulyo 14 Fukuoka, Japan.


“I have met with my coach, and we have decided it is best for me not to compete in Fukuoka,” saad ni Sanchez ky Tolentino. “This means I can be focused to medal in the Asian Games in September.”

“I have a very intense competition schedule after Asian Games with another world championships and the Olympics,” dagdag niya.


Sinabi pa ni Tolentino na may tiwala siya kay Sanchez at sa pasya ng kanyang coach na sumabak sa Hangzhou.


Hinihintay na lamang ni Sanchez ang kumpletong kumpirmasyon mula sa World Aquatics para sa karapatang katawanin ang Pilipinas makaraang irepresenta ang Canada noong mas bata pa, kabilang na ang Tokyo Olympics kung saan siya naging bahagi ng silver medal ng Canada sa 4x100 meters freestyle relay team.


“Before I withdraw from the competition I think we should wait until World Aquatics approves my transfer,” aniya. “At least then we know that I am 100 % cleared to race for the Philippines in the Asian Games.”


Kailangan lamang ni Sanchez na kumpletuhin ang ilang taon na paninirahan sa bansa para makumpleto ang paglipat. Pinasalamatan niya si Tolentino sa pangangasiwa sa kanyang pag-transfer.
