PARIS OLYMPICS | ELREEN ANDO SETS A NEW PERSONAL BEST

Elreen Ando is no Hidilyn Diaz.

At least, not yet.

But she's getting there.

The near-26-year-old from Cebu City placed sixth in the women's 59kg event. While she never won a medal, she surpassed her personal best of 130kg on the clean and jerk round.

Also, she's just five kilograms shy of claiming a bronze finish. She could have been fourth if she had just completed her first attempt.

Most Filipinos are now on the verge of curing their insomnia after days of sleeping in the wee hours.

There's still one match to go through, with Vanessa Sarno looking to finish Team Philippines' campaign with a bang.
