In case you're wondering, weightlifters will get three lifts for snatch and three for clean and jerk. Heaviest lift is the score that adds to your total. #Paris2024 #LabanPilipinas INQUIRER Sports

Why does the same lifter lift twice or thrice before another lifter takes the stage for the first time? Order is determined by the weight you submitted. Lightest intended weight lifts first. #Paris2024 #LabanPilipinas INQUIRER Sports

Olympics has no medals for snatch and clean and jerk, unlike other major tournaments. Medals are only for the total. That means if you fail all three snatch attempts, you cannot progress to clean and jerk anymore. #Paris2024 #LabanPilipinas INQUIRER Sports

Sarno now takes her first snatch attempt, her first Olympic appearance. Leaves herself with work to do as she fails first attempt. #Paris2024 #LabanPilipinas INQUIRER Sports

The 20-year-old will try 100 again and since that is the lowest submitted weight, it's her turn again. #Paris2024 #LabanPilipinas INQUIRER Sports

Oof. that's her second miss. One to go if she wants to prolong her Olympic appearance. #Paris2024 #LabanPilipinas INQUIRER Sports

Coaches trying to calm her down as she guns for a third attempt. #Paris2024 #LabanPilipinas INQUIRER Sports

Crowd at South Paris Arena really cheering her on. #Paris2024 #LabanPilipinas INQUIRER Sports

She misses her third attempt. That's it for her first Olympics end. She gave it her all. Former Asian champion at junior and senior levels but perhaps pressure being in her first Olympics got to her. #Paris2024 #LabanPilipinas INQUIRER Sports

It doesn’t matter by how slim you missed out on the podium—a microfraction of a second, a millimeter, a stroke. History books have a habit of scrubbing off the greatness of those who end up fourth. sports.inquirer.net/579874/bianca-…

True. I agree to an extent with critics who say we should fund other sports outside basketball, but it is basketball that gets eyeballs. I wish those who say this would go fill the venues where these sports play. Hindi yung "Same Time, Four Years Later."

Too kind. But thanks. I only hope that this encourages people to read newspapers more. :)

Yun nga. This is what excited me most about EJ's plan. We get to see just how far we can go. If it hits big, gymnastics should capitalize and bring a major event here.

Appreciate the kind words. Since college?! Tagal na nun ah. :)

G! Si Chip bahala. Hahaha!

Between 2013—when the national basketball federation spent millions to host the Fiba Asia Cup—to 2024, basketball spending reached a level unmatched in any previous decade. But do you know what else increased in that span? opinion.inquirer.net/175921/yulos-g…

Before the match, INQUIRER Sports talked about how Alex’s sliced serve, drops would be key against a dreamy defensive backhand by Pegula. She executed very very well. Good enough to win a match against anyone. She just needs to better her service game.

Don't mind this tweet. Just posting this for link purposes.

Kung tawag ng mga basher sa isang team or teams ay “asa sa import,” ang mga basketball pages na mahilig kumuha ng balita o content without proper credit naman ay mga “asa sa reporter”

The 20-year-old tennis star provided Filipinos the present-day heroine they badly needed on the same day the country paused to reflect on the greatness of its past. sports.inquirer.net/637056/ambitio…
