Uncertain about his future, air-rifle shooter Jayson Valdez, who made his national team debut at the young age of 14 at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, recently decided to enlist and was accepted as a new Philippine Army recruit.
“But my son’s hopes began to fade since the ISSF had made no announcement and the Olympics were drawing near so he decided to enlist. Medyo natagalan siya ,” he said, adding that his son had already began his Army boot camp at Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija. Based on the ISSF Olympic qualifying process, Valdez had to earn MQS or minimum qualifying scores in Olympic qualifying events such as “world championships, World Cups, World Cup finals, continental championships and continental games, or special designated qualifying competitions.”
Valdez did it again in scoring 613.1 points to place 14th in the Asian Air Gun championships in Kuwait City in November 2018 while he tallied 599.8 points in placing 29th at the Asian championships held in Doha, Qatar the following year. “Hindi naman kami gaanong natigil bumaril, mga two months lang last year dahil sa lockdown,” said the father-coach, who was the country’s most bemedalled shooter at the 1987 Jakarta SEA Games with three golds and one silver.
