MANILA – Speed skater Kathryn Magno tried to deliver her best parting shot but her effort was not enough to bail the heavily battered Philippines out of its worst Southeast Asian Games finish in the past 18 years.
Magno wrapped up the country’s participation with a fourth-place finish in the women’s 1000m event Wednesday at the Empire City Ice Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The 23-year-old San Jose, California native was eased out of a podium finish after clocking 1:51.89. On Tuesday, she also failed to qualify in the women’s 500m.
Filipino winter sports campaigners will go home with one gold, one silver and one bronze medals.
The men’s ice hockey team was the toast of the contingent, completing a four-game sweep of its tournament to clinch a historic gold and will likely defend its crown when the Philippines hosts the 30th SEA Games in 2019.
