John Leerams Chicano bagged the Philippines' first gold medal after dominating the 2019 Southeast Asian Games men's triathlon at Subic Bay Boardwalk in Zambales on Sunday, December 1.
Chicano ruled the 1.5-kilometer swim, 40-kilometer bike, and 10-kilometer run to edge out fellow FIlipino bet Kim Remolino, who settled for a silver and made it a 1-2 finish for the Philippines anew.
A silver medalist in the 2017 edition, Chicano led the men's contingent after team captain and back-to-back gold medalist Nikko Huelgas sat out this year's SEA Games due to a hand injury that sidelined him for the first quarter of 2019. – Rappler.com
