HANGZHOU, China—So far, swimmer Kayla Noelle Sanchez hasn’t delivered with her first four events as a National in the 19th Asian Games resulting in two individual national records and helping the women’s 4X100meter (m) freestyle relay team to a new Philippine standard.
A medal in the regional meet remains conspicuously missing with the two-time Olympic medalist left with shots in one more individual race and two relay races.
Sanchez simply hasn’t lived up to the hype surrounding her acquisition of Philippine citizenship last year.

HANGZHOU, China—Margielyn Didal got dethroned in the worst way in her defense of the Asian Games skateboarding gold medal Wednesday, forcing the fiery 24-year-old to focus on a bigger target: A second straight Olympics stint.
Ranked 40th in the world and still inside the top 44 that will make it to Paris next year, Didal—after finishing dead-last in the eight-strong finals field of the women’s street event here—will shoot to improve on her position to assure herself of a slot. And a big chunk of doing that has a lot to do with her health.

The Philippines’ path to a medal in the 19th Asian Games men’s basketball tournament goes through a Thailand side reeling from a hapless thrashing in its first game.
But coach Tim Cone has been in this game long enough to know that is hardly a reason for Gilas Pilipinas to let its guard down.
“No doubt, Thailand is our ‘danger game.’ We simply cannot look past them to (get to) Jordan. We have to take care of business,” he told the Inquirer on the eve of the Thursday duel at Zhejiang University’s Zijingang Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China, that gets going at 11 a.m. (Manila time).
