If you think that the Philippine team brought home some familiar eggs instead of the bacon, you are wrong because we, in fact, won 2 medals - 1 gold and 1 bronze.
Two lovely ladies of Filipino heritage won medals in their respective field of sports.
Kayla Ross, who won a gold medal with the "Fierce
Five" U.S. women's gymnastics team, has Japanese, African American,
Filipino and Puerto Rican heritage. While U.S. swimming star Natalie Coughlin, on the other hand was born in
Vallejo, California, and is of Irish and one quarter Filipino heritage. Coughlin won a bronze as part of the US women's swimming team.
There you go, we can proudly claim them.
