It's a gold

Three Filipina jins, endowed with beauty and grace, struck the first gold in the 25th Southeast Asian Games in Laos.

The Philippine trio of Rani Ann Ortega, Camille Alarilla and Janice Lagman edged out their rivals from Thailand, 16.97-16.94, to win the gold in taekwondo’s poomsae competitions barely three hours before the formal opening of the Games in this former kingdom historically known as Lan Xang or “land of a thousand elephants.”

The same team won gold in the tough World Pomsae Championships in Cairo, Egypt last week.
