The Philippines is on the board in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games as John “Rambo” Chicano got his first gold in men’s triathlon.
Chicano registered the Philippines’ first win - as well as its first medal overall - in the regional meet by finishing with a time of 1:53:26, Sunday at Subic Bay Boardwalk.
It was a 1-2 finish for the Filipinos with Kim Remolino claiming silver by logging a time of 1:55:03.
The 19-year-old was actually the pacesetter after the swimming course while Chicano was actually at fourth.
“Rambo,” as he is fondly called, however, dominated the biking and running phases en route to his breakthrough win.
Completing the podium is Indonesia’s Ahlul Firman Muhammad who finished at 1:57:10. (sports.abs-cbn.com)
