00:04Gold medalist na record-breaking pack sa nagdaang palarong pambansa ang 17-year-old swimmer na si Rayana Coman.
00:13Isa siya sa mga pabato ng bansa sa darating na Youth Olympic Games sa Dakar, Senegal.
00:19Kilalanin siya kasama ni Martin Javier na parating in the game.
00:27Bawat dive, stroke, at turn, dapat kalkulado sa high-adrenaline sport na swimming.
00:40Ang 17-year-old na si Rayana Coman, isa sa mga rising youth swimmers ng bansa, lalo na pagdating sa
00:47breaststroke.
00:49Gold din sweep siya sa girls' 50 at 100-meter breaststroke sa palarong pambansa ngayong taon.
00:56Nag-set pa siya ng dalawang palaro records.
01:01I was so happy because that was mainly my goal. It wasn't medals, just the records because I know I
01:07don't have like that much palaros left.
01:10I was so happy that I was able to break it.
01:12Dahil sa performance ni Rayana, isa siya sa mga napiling mag-representa ng bansa sa Youth Olympic Games sa Dakar,
01:20Senegal this coming November.
01:22This is my first time going to Africa and competing for Youth Olympics. It's like really hard to get in.
01:29So I'm very excited and happy to see what I can do there.
01:35Born and raised sa Pampanga ang philam na si Rayana.
01:39Sa murang edad, maaga siyang naging komportable sa paglangoy.
01:43Dinadala na siya ng dada niya sa swimming pool at pinapa-dive ng ganyan.
01:48Bago siyang mag-one year old, natutong na siyang lumangoy mag-isa.
01:51Nagsimula siya sa formal training ng nine years old sa ilalim ni Coach Dax Halili.
01:57Ngayon, nag-i-ensayo na rin siya sa gabay ni Coach Archie Lim ng National Academy of Sports.
02:03So sa amin lang, we just try to keep improving.
02:06We've been trying to tweak some things sa swims niya and it has been working.
02:12So in terms of times naman, of course, we're looking at as long as we improve around 111, 110 in
02:18the 100 breaststroke.
02:19That's our main goal. She came in from 113 to 112 and then almost 112-0 na tayo in the
02:26last na meet niya.
02:27So we're pretty close there.
02:29I would love to reach the podium but right now, I'm focusing on breaking as much Philippine records as I
02:34can
02:35and obviously making it into semifinals and the finals.
02:38Alamin natin ang tamang teknig sa breaststroke.
02:42We'll try to break it down into about three parts.
02:44So the first one is yung body position.
02:46So we try to stay flat sa water, meaning we don't want to breathe so high or we don't want
02:52to go down so deep.
02:53So we just want to stay medyo on the surface.
02:56And then we break down the kick and the pull.
02:59So ano lang, the pull is like just scooping something.
03:01So when we pull, we breathe, we put our head down and then we kick.
03:05So you pull and breathe and then you kick.
03:13Definitely more challenging to sustain all throughout.
03:17Pero super fulfilling na matutunan yung proper technique ng breaststroke.
03:22May araw nakilala natin ang ating prodigies of swimming and one of our representatives in the Youth Olympic Games.
03:28This has been Martin Avere.
03:30And Rihanna Coleman.
03:32Keeping you in the game!
