MANILA, Philippines — All eyes on the prize as Olympic-bound Filipina boxers Nesthy Petecio, Hergie Bacyadan and Aira Villegas are ready to make history in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
With five boxers representing the Philippines, including Eumir Marcial and Carlo Paalam, coach Ronald Chavez is confident that his pool of ringsters can take home the medal in the prestigious sporting event in Paris . 'We went on the same process. We trained so hard for this. These five boxers are the strongest. Of all the boxers that I trained for the Olympics, they are the strongest, and I witnessed it.
'I recalled all my 'whys?' Why did I stay? I could stop after the Tokyo games since I already fulfilled my dream to be in the Olympics and live a normal life and not train—but I chose to stay, and I know that I can prove something.''I posted a photo along with Olympic bound boxers and one comment stood out: 'the reason why they qualified in the Olympics again since you left the gold medal.' that comment really struck me,' Petecio recalled with a spirited smile.
