Cesar bags PH’s first medal at Dakar Youth Olympics

NAOMI Marjorie Cesar zoomed to a women’s 800-meter silver medal finish at the Dakar 4th Youth Olympic Games Monday afternoon in Senegal, early Tuesday in Manila. The 17-year-old Cesar clocked 2:09.34 to give the Philippines its first medal in a two-week sports spectacle, which will end on Friday. Cesar finished behind gold medalist Netsanet Selemon of Ethiopia, who topped the competition with a personal best of 2:04.43. Khadija Elmostaqim of Morocco settled for the bronze medal with 2:10.05. Running fourth in lane 5, Cesar said she turned it on in the final 100 m, where she went from fourth to second. “I was kind of waiting to turn it on in the end and go, and just tell myself that when I started, no one can catch me and I can catch whatever I set my sights on, so I trusted in myself,” she said. “I told myself that I worked so hard for this, so I’m not gonna go home in fourth,” added Cesar, younger sister of Filipinas national women’s football team member Malea. Naomi, who won a gold medal at the 2025 Southeast Asian Games like her sister Malea with the Filipinas, said winning a medal at the Youth Olympics felt surreal. “It still doesn’t feel real. When I crossed the line, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I just medaled at the Youth Olympics.’ It’s just so unreal, and I’m so happy and I’m so proud of myself.” Naomi said her Youth Olympics silver medal is just the beginning of something big like potentially making it to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. “Hopefully [I could qualify], but I haven’t really looked that far ahead but it’s on the table. My goal is to keep representing the Philippines and make everyone proud,” she said. As she chases her Olympic dream, Naomi encouraged her fellow dreamers to believe in themselves. “Just keep believing in yourself and chase your dreams, and don’t listen to anyone who said you can’t because you’re the only one who can tell yourself that so don’t tell yourself that.”

Gilas sets formidable frontcourt for FIBA tilt

IF plans don’t miscarry, Gilas Pilipinas expects a loaded front court for the fifth window of the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers. Coach Tim Cone is keeping his fingers crossed that no injury bug will hit big men led by Kai Sotto, Quentin Millora-Brown, AJ Edu and Mike Phillips, as all four players are expected to be available for the November window. “Yes, barring any injury between now and then,” Cone said, when asked by The Manila Times about the availability of the four big men. The 7-3 Sotto has returned to action for his Japan B.League team Altira Chiba after missing seven games due to a knee issue. He played the first four games for the season, before being held back due to the injury. The Filipino big man has played in the team’s last two games, averaging six points and five rebounds in 17 minutes of play. Sotto’s size, coupled by the presence of QMB, who currently plays for the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins, along with Phillips (Kyoto Hannaryz) and Edu (Gunma Crane Thunders), will give Cone the luxury of a stratospheric frontline heading to the penultimate window of the FIBA Asian Qualifiers. Cone recently said Gilas will be leaving for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Nov. 21, with the team, while Bennie Boatwright, the team’s new naturalized player, will follow on Nov. 23. The PBA is scheduled to halt the playoffs for the Season 50 Governors’ Cup after Tuesday’s sudden death Game 5 of the quarterfinal series between San Miguel Beer and Ginebra to give way to Gilas’ FIBA tournament. Gilas has less than a week to prepare before plunging to action on Nov. 27 against Syria, followed by Iran on Nov. 30 in Seremban, an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur.

Tigers growl for Final Four push

LOOKING to stay in the thick of the UAAP Season 89 men’s basketball Final Four spot hunt, the University of Santo Tomas (UST) faces University of the East (UE) at the Araneta Coliseum on Wednesday. The fifth-running Growling Tigers take on the already-eliminated yet dangerous Red Warriors at 2:30 p.m. While the 5-6 UST snapped its three-game skid to boost its Final Four bid with an 86-85 win over Far Eastern University (FEU) last Sunday, repeating against the cellar-dwelling 1-10, UE doesn’t look easy to pull off. The Red Warriors finally took their first win of the season last Saturday, ending a 30-game skid dating back to Season 87 with a 53-47 win against the Adamson Soaring Falcons. Facing a loose UE side that just came off its first win in two years to begin its three-game semis push, the Pido Jarencio-mentored UST knows it will face a tough challenge. “If you look at our practices, they became harder. They became more intense. They became more focused more than anything, and that’s the spirit that we want to continue,” said Growling Tigers assistant coach Peter Martin. “Even if we win the last three games, we’re not assured of a Final Four spot yet. We just want to finish well, one game at a time. We know that UE already has won, so that’s actually terrifying.” Firing 23 points last timeout, Amiel Acido looks to lead the charge anew for the Growling Tigers and sweep their elimination round series against the Paolo Hubalde-coached Red Warriors. Opposite Acido as well as Landyn Jumawan and Mark Llemit is Toper Lagat, whose offensive exploits finally translated to a UE victory last Saturday. Lagat punched 14 points, four rebounds and two steals against Adamson, while also drawing help from Mo Tañedo and JM Edoukou, who added 14 and 13 points, respectively. “I think they started to believe in what they can do,” said Hubalde. “On top of that, they’re starting to believe in the system. I told them that as long as you give everything on the court, basketball will love us back.” Tied with the Growling Tigers in fifth place with a 5-6 slate, the Ateneo de Manila Blue Eagles are likewise making their final push for a Final Four spot. Ateneo takes on the seventh-running, 4-7, and desperate Adamson side, which is essentially on the brink of elimination at 5 p.m. The Blue Eagles are coming off a 74-82 loss to the top seed and 9-2 UP Fighting Maroons last Saturday, while the Soaring Falcons fell victim to the Red Warriors to suffer their fourth straight defeat.

ZUS Coffee rallies past Galeries Tower for first PVL win

MANILA, Philippines — ZUS Coffee finally barged into the win column after rallying from two sets down to overcome Galeries Tower, 17-25, 21-25, 25-20, 25-20, 15-12, in the 2026-27 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference-Siklab Series on Tuesday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. The Thunderbelles showed resilience after dropping the first two sets, winning the next three to secure their first victory of the conference. Despite the win, ZUS Coffee and Galeries Tower remained tied at 1-5 in the standings, with both teams facing elimination as only the top four squads will advance to the next round. Alex Miner spearheaded the Thunderbelles with 17 points on 13 attacks and four blocks, while Glaudine Troncoso and Jolina Dela Cruz chipped in 13 and 10 points, respectively. Jean Asis delivered a career-high 27 points, highlighted by 21 attacks, five blocks and an ace, but her impressive effort went unrewarded as the Highrisers absorbed their fifth loss. Erika Deloria and Lycha Ebon also tried to keep Galeries Tower in contention with 13 and 12 points, respectively, but their efforts fell short.

Ginebra unleashes fourth-quarter blitz to oust San Miguel, clinch last semis spot

MANILA, Philippines — Barangay Ginebra unleashed a backbreaking fourth-quarter assault to oust San Miguel Beer, 110-94, in their sudden-death PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup quarterfinal duel and secure the last semifinal spot on Tuesday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.

FIA chief says Qatar, Abu Dhabi GPs to go ahead

PARIS, France — The final races of the Formula One season in Qatar and Abu Dhabi will go ahead as planned despite tensions in the Middle East, the president of motorsports' governing body Mohammed Ben Sulayem said on Tuesday. The last two grands prix of the year are scheduled for November 29 in Qatar and December 6 in Abu Dhabi. The Saudi Arabia Grand Prix earlier this year was scrapped following the outbreak of the United States and Israel's war with Iran, while the Bahrain race was delayed and moved to Malaysia. "We are ready for Qatar and Abu Dhabi," FIA chief Ben Sulayem said on social media. "We are fully prepared and committed to delivering two outstanding grands prix weekends and a spectacular conclusion to the Formula One world championship. "We look forward to welcoming drivers, teams and fans to two iconic circuits for an unforgettable finish to the season. See you on the grid." Ben Sulayem's comments echo those made by F1 boss Stefano Domenicali last month. F1 drivers have expressed mixed feelings about racing in the Middle East, with four-time world champion Max Verstappen among those to air his reservations. Italian youngster Kimi Antonelli has already wrapped up the drivers' world championship title, while his Mercedes team secured the constructors' crown last weekend in Sao Paulo. Several events in Saudi Arabia, which borders Qatar and the UAE, have been cancelled or postponed in recent weeks following attacks on the country by Yemen's Houthis.
