Elma Muros, The Legendary Athlete
&#; With Elma Muros-Posadas and Annie &#;
Elma Muros-Posadas, according to Pinas, &#;went down in Southeast Asian Games history as the only track athlete who won in different events.&#; She won 15 gold medals, more than any other Filipino athlete, and is hailed as one of the country&#;s sports heroes.
I&#;ve spotted her many a times at the track, coaching her youthful team with the authority that comes from her years of experience, but I was always afraid to approach her&#;even just for a photo op. Today, I was introduced to her by Coach Rio and, although we didn&#;t chat long, I learned that this legendary athlete and so called &#;iron woman&#; is actually amiable and down-to-earth.
It was a busy, busy day as we all had to literally &#;run along&#; but I hope that, in the future, I get to sit down with her and ask for some secret training tips and just some magical speed dust for my feet.
