Amid historic wins and areas for improvement, Senator Christopher Go will conduct post-evaluation of Olympic preparations to better support Filipino athletes in future competitions
Also the chairperson of the Senate Committee on Sports, Go will look into the efforts exerted by the government and various stakeholders in preparing and supporting the country’s 2024 Paris Olympics delegation.
While Filipinos celebrate its historic two gold medals and two bronze medals so far, there have also been some evident areas for improvement in terms of support to Filipino Olympians.
He clarified that this initiative aims to further improve preparations and enhance support for Philippine athletes competing not only in the Olympics but also in other future international competitions.
“This opportunity to join the Olympics and other international competitions is just once in a lifetime,” Go remarked.
Criticisms came to light following a viral video posted by the mother of golfer Dottie Ardina which showed Filipino athletes Ardina and Bianca Pagdanganan, trying to stick the Philippine Flag on their generic golf outfits using double sided tape due to the lack of proper uniforms being provided to them.
“I was surprised and saddened to learn of the situation,” Go lamented.
Go has also continuously pushed for increased budgets for sports programs as Vice Chair of the Senate Finance Committee.
