Kim Mangrobang once again proved her status as one of the region’s top triathletes, leading the Philippine team to its first gold medal of the 33rd Southeast Asian Games.
The triumph came in the women’s team relay on Wednesday at Leam Mae Phim, Klaeng district, Rayong, Thailand.
Mangrobang claimed her second relay gold, her first since the mixed relay victory at the 2019 SEA Games.
She teamed up with De La Salle University alum Raven Alcoseba and 19-year-old Kira Ellis, finishing first with a time of 1:10:14—34 seconds ahead of Indonesia, which clocked 1:10:48. Singapore completed the podium with a bronze medal time of 1:12:00.
The three-time SEA Games individual champion will aim for her fourth individual gold on Friday at the same venue in Eastern Thailand.
