Welcome back, multisports athletes and sports enthusiasts! This past weekend in Hong Kong, the youthful Diego Jose Dimayuga won for the Philippines a silver medal in the 13-15 category during the Asia Triathlon Sprint Championship 2025.
To put things in perspective, posted below the entire official announcement by Triathlon Philippines (TriPhil). Some parts in boldface…
A surprise package in the youngest bet, Diego Jose Dimayuga, prevented PHI from medal shutout in the Asia Triathlon Sprint Championship 2025 in Hong Kong yesterday.
Dimayuga, mentored by Doray Ellis, snatched the silver medal in the 13-15 years category, aggregating 35 minutes and 32 seconds on splits of 00:05:43 swim (T1/15 sec), 19 min bike (T2/1 min 27 sec) and 8 min 7 sec bike.
Going into the run after the 400-meter swim and 11-km bike, Dimayuga, the self-funded grandson of ex-University of the Philippines regent Francis Laurel, and eventual champion, hometown favorite Yik Hei Lau were neck-and neck.
Yik poured it on in the 2.5-Kilometer run that saw him breast the tape at 35:40, 52 seconds ahead of Dimayuga. Completing the podium finishers was another Hong Kongite, Tze Kiu Tam, who finished 11 seconds behind Dimayuga.
The other members of the PHI squad supported by Philippine Sports Commission seeing action in the Asia Triathlon Sprint Championships Hong Kong 2025 included: Raven Alcoseba, Sam Corpus, Erika Burgos, Kim Remolino, Mateo Hermosa, Dash and Josh Ramos.
Team manager is Ting Joson with Doray Ellis, Louann Ramos and Andoy Remolino as coaches.
