Filipino rowers Joanie Delgaco and Edgar Ilas will be competing against the best in the world next month after ruling the coastal mixed double sculls event of the Asian Rowing Beach Sprint Championships over host Thailand recently. The victory meant qualifying for the World Beach Games in Bali, Indonesia, next month, where Delgaco and Ilas will be joined by surfing ace Jay-R Esquivel. A long-time national team member, the 34-year-old Ilas pocketed a silver medal at the 2018 Asia Cup while the 25-year-old Delgaco had two bronze medals in the Southeast Asia Games last year apart from a third-place performance in the 2016 Asian Rowing Championships.
