Deiparin,Rule

SA WAKAS ay maipagpapatuloy na nina swimmers Jaimie Deiparin at Remedy Rule ang kanilang Olympic qualifying campaign sa pagsabak sa  TYR Pro Swim Series sa March 3-7 sa North East ISD Blossom Athletic Complex sa San Antonio, Texas.

Ito ay matapos na mahinto ng ilang buwan ang mga aktibidad dahil sa COVID-19 pandemic,  “Hopefully this swimming event will be the first Olympic qualifying tournament for Remedy and Jimmy (Deiparine’s nickname) this year,” wika ni Philippine swimming federation chief Lani Velasco.

“Since the competition is an Olympic qualifying event, swimming meet organizers are pretty strict about allowing foreigners to participate. So we practically pleaded with them to enable our swimmers to compete in San Antonio.”.

Si Deipairine, nagwagi ng gold at silver medals sa  2019 Southeast Asian Games na ginanap sa bansa, ay magtatangka ng Olympic slot sa men’s 100-meter breaststroke event.

Ang dating California Polytechnic State vaccine rsity swimming ace ay nagtala ng SEA Games at national record na 1 minute at 01.46 seconds sa paglangoy ng kanyang unang gold medal sa biennial meet, kapos sa Olympic qualifying standard na 59.93 seconds.

Ayon kay Velasco, si Deiparine ay nagsasanay sa ilallm ni dating US Olympic coach David Salo, na minsang hinawakan si Australian Olympic swimming champion Ian Thorpe.

Dating miyembro ng University of Texas Longhorns women’s swimming squad, si Rule, nagwagi ng pares ng silvers at bronzes sa 30th SEA Game, ay patuloy na nagsasanay sa ilalim ng kanyang mga dating coach sa eskuwelahan.

Target ni Rule ang Olympic berth kapwa sa women’s 100 at 200-meter women’s butterfly races.

Nagtala siya ng bagong national marks na 1:00.16 at 2:09.58, ayon sa pagkakasunod, noong March 2020 sa TYR Pro Swim Series sa Des Moines, Iowa, kung saan ang huling oras ay kapos sa qualifying mark na 2:08.43, at pasok sa Olympic B cut na 2:12.28.

Pinasalamatan ni Velasco ang Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) sa patuloy nitong pagsuporta sa Olympic swimming hopefuls ng bansa.
