Asian Games appearances (overview)

A year after emerging as the country's newest track sensation with a golden double at the 1981 Manila Southeast Asian Games, Lydia de Vega became Asia's sprint darling, winning the century dash in the 1982 Asian Games. The 17-year old De Vega bagged the 100-meter dash in 11.76 seconds to become Asia's fastest woman.

It was only one of the two gold medals won by the 114-man contingent, but it was enough to brighten another dismal performance by the Philippines in the quadrennial meet. A swimmer named William "Billy" Wilson maintained swimming's legacy as a perennial source of medals, winning the gold medal in the 200-meter freestyle. [2]

gollark: DON'T DO IT!
gollark: TC2020 or osmarks.tkcraft™™™™™?
gollark: Which aforementioned project?
gollark: See, osmarks.tkcraft™ would, hypothetically, as it does not exist, have maybe 60 mods, and I wanted to know how to manage updating them easily.
gollark: Are there just few enough to do it manually and/or listen for the pronouncements of the great squidly one?
