00:00 It's been months since the 2024 Paris Olympics started.
00:05 For now, only a few Filipinos have entered the biggest quadrennial multi-sport event.
00:11 This is what Daryl Oclares reported.
00:13 It's only been 100 days since the biggest multi-sport event opened this year.
00:21 The only event that hasn't been opened is the Paris 2024 Olympics, which is scheduled to be held from July 26 to August 11.
00:28 At the moment, only Filipinos are sure to have tickets to the French capital.
00:34 The world number two Paul Voltaire, EJ Oviena, was the first to enter after he successfully broke the 5.82-meter Olympic standard in the Stockholm Diamondleg in July of last year.
00:46 Two months after qualifying for the Olympics, Oviena's record-breaking performance in the Hangzhou Asian Games was seen as the first goal of the country.
00:57 Next on the list is the top Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo, who will play in Paris following his 3rd place finish in the Men's Floor Exercise of the 2023 Artistic Gymnastics World Championship in Antwerp, Belgium.
01:11 In addition to Yulo, the Filipino-American gymnast Aleya Finnegan will also be included,
01:16 as she will be the fifth highest ranked eligible athlete in the Women's All-Around in the same competition in Belgium.
01:23 Three boxers will be competing in the Paris-France.
01:27 The Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Yumir Marcial will return to the world stage after winning the silver medal in the Asian Games for the Men's 80kg division.
01:38 Next on the list is the Tokyo Olympics silver medalist Nestea Petesio, who will be placed in the Olympics following her top 2 finish in the Women's 57kg category of the first World Olympic qualifying tournament held in Italy.
01:54 This will be the Olympic debut for the Filipino fighter Ira Villegas.
01:59 Villegas successfully won one of the four Olympic spots for the Women's 50kg category.
02:06 The weightlifters John Ceniza, Elrin Ando, and Vanessa Sarno will be the third to follow the steps of the first Filipino Olympic gold medalist, Heidlin Diaz Naranjo.
02:17 The performance of Ceniza, Ando, and Sarno was a great success in the 2024 International Weightlifting Federation World Cup to be included in the Paris Olympics.
02:28 Meanwhile, it is expected that the delegation of the country will be added to Paris because some of our players will be competing in the Olympic qualifying tournaments.
