Nananatiling positibo ang 17 taong gulang na Pinay swimmer na si Roxanne Yu. Ngayong araw lumahok siya sa Women's 100m Backstroke at nagtala ng oras na 1:05:16 kinapos siya ng ilang milisegundo para makapasok sa semifinals.
Nanghinayang ba siya? Sagot ni Yu, "As long as I did my best I don't really mind. As long as I gave my best I'm satisfied already, no one else can say anything about that. So I'm happy with that."
Inaabangan niya ang paborito niyang event na 200M Backstroke sa darating na Martes, ika-19 ng Agosto. Ano ang balak niya? " No game plan, just blast it. I'll do my best."
Bilang isang atleta sa Youth Olympic Games (YOG), ani Yu marami siyang natututunan. "Im learning you know seeing so many people around I just feel the spirit and It just pumps me up. To represent the country it's really an honor to do so. The games is different and I hope the seven delegates sent over here would be able to be good role models to future delegates of our team."
Ito ang ikalawang beses ni Yu sa Nanjing. Noong isang taon sumali siya sa Asian Youth Games. "It's a bit different but at the same time it's also nice. It exemplifies what an Olympic Village is supposed to look like.
Matapos ang YOG paghahandaan niya ang Southeast Asian Games at ang World Championships.
