00:00 In swimming, the 16-year-old tanker from Region 4A, Peter Cyrus Dean, was nominated as the first double gold medalist of the 63rd Paralimpangbansa.
00:11 The full details in the words of Daryl O'Clarice.
00:14 It was just the first day of the swimming competitions, but the incoming grade 11 swimmer, Peter Cyrus Dean,
00:23 was already able to get two gold medals in the 63rd Paralimpangbansa, which is currently held in Marikina City.
00:26 The Lucena native tanker was the first to finish the 100-meter backstroke, where he broke his personal record and broke the time of 1 minute and 0.69 milliseconds.
00:35 Dean also finished his second gold in the 400-meter individual medley, which he finished in 4 minutes and 53.29 seconds.
00:44 In the interview of PDB Sports, Dean also said that he can't believe that he will immediately win his first two competitions.
00:53 I'm overwhelmed with excitement and pure joy, happiness.
00:59 I was motivated at the same time by my parents and coach, of course.
01:04 The 16-year-old tanker also had the opportunity to add his medal to continue his campaign tomorrow in Paralimpangbansa.
01:13 I'm looking forward to the best times and surely medals.
01:22 What does it mean to you to win the gold medal?
01:24 Tomorrow, I will have 200 backstroke and 200 IM.
01:28 Meanwhile, aside from the gold medal, the 10-year-old elementary girl who broke her 100-meter breaststroke,
01:37 Crystal David from the National Capital Region, also broke her record of 1 minute and 17.98 seconds.
01:44 At first, I didn't believe it because I thought it was a glitch.
01:48 But when I found out that it was real, I was really happy because I've been working for this for 6 years.
01:53 I used my coach's strategy, which is pacing.
01:56 Of course, I had to do a lot of vigorous training, the diet, the nutrition, the sleep schedule was the worst.
02:05 But yeah, that was mostly it.
02:09 When he came from NCR, he made a new record in the secondary boys 13-18 200 LCM medley relay, which was listed as 1 minute and 49.47 seconds.
02:20 I'm so happy.
02:23 Why are you happy?
02:25 Because we broke the 5-year record of Paralimpambansa for the 50-meter relay.
02:31 I'm also happy because I can trust that our record won't be broken for a long time.
02:37 It's my first time to break a Paralimpambansa relay record.
02:40 We're happy to break a record since this is our first time to break a Paralimpambansa record.
02:45 In the Paniam of Philippine Sports, Tournament Director Leo Sanchez,
02:50 the first day of swimming went well despite the constant rain.
02:55 Even though it rained, we were able to run our swimming systematically.
03:03 The performance of the kids was good. We gave them enough time to warm up.
03:08 We have standards for warm-ups.
03:11 So, we did some reminders to the coaches.
03:16 That's the SOP.
03:18 When we started the event 1, it was already a direct one.
03:23 In total, there were 22 swimming events that will be held tomorrow in the continuation of Paralimpambansa in the Marquina Sports Complex.
