TWO sports which made headlines in recent weeks — obstacle sports and floorball — will be the topics of discussions in the 24th “Sports On Air” program on Friday, June 10.

Pilipinas Obstacle Sports Federation president Atty. Alberto Agra and Philippine Floorball Association president Ralph Ramos will talk about the latest news in their respective sports starting at 10:30 a.m.

Agra will discuss the Guinness World Record set by Filipinos Mark Julius Rodelas and Kaizen dela Serna in the 100-meter male and female obstacle course racing held at the Arcovia City course in Pasig last April.

American World Guinness Book of Records adjudicator Justin Patterson certified the new record.

Atty. Agra will also talk about the POSF partnership with the Federation of School Sports Association of the Philippines (FESSAP) in hosting the coming Inter-School Ninja Box Challenge, and the introduction of obstacle sports as a demonstration sport in the 2022 Palarong Pambansa.

Ramos, on the other hand, will announce plans for the Philippine men’s team which qualified for the World Floorball Championships in Zurich, Switzerland in November.

The Philippines earned the right to represent Asia-Oceania in the Worlds, along with Thailand, Australia and Singapore.
