The Philippines first participated at the Olympic Games in 1924. The nation has competed at every Summer Olympics since then, except in 1980 when they join the American-led boycott of the games. Find out our Pinoy Olympians through the years and who are the 9 Filipinos in history to win an Olympic medal.
Mia Legaspi of the Philippines shot a final round one-under-par 35 on Sunday to win the girls’ 9-under division of the United States Kids World Championships at the Longleaf Golf Club in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
