Student-athlete Drew Magbag won a total of six medals in the Indian Ocean All-Star Challenge held in Perth, Australia last April 1-8.

Magbag brought home four (4) gold and two (2) silver medals and was able to break two records in the 200, Individual Medley and 200m Breaststroke.

When asked how he prepared, he answered, “Una, syempre po continuous and focused sa training, minimum of 6 times a week po ang swim. Pangalawa, dapat laging kumakain, 3 main meals and 3 snacks, wala naman pong diet na sinusunod. And last, a week before dapat hindi na po nagpupuyat.”

It was Magbag's first time to represent the Philippines in this international tilt.

“Super happy ako syempre and very proud ako sa sarili ko. Na kahit papaano may nauwi ako na medals and records even though hindi ko na-medal lahat ng events ko, I’m still very proud sa sarili ko,” he said when asked about how he felt about his achievements. / by Zita Pedragosa
