Philippines

The 30th South East Asian Games (SEA Games) in the Philippines, which drew to a close on Wednesday, not only produced sporting drama, but also some unusual and unforgettable moments. Here are five of the most memorable:

Looks like Chris McCollough has found a new love in Korea.

Tim Cone has all his attention now to the Gilas women's basketball.

The Philippines easily topped the Southeast Asian Games medal table with 149 golds, continuing a rich tradition at the regional Olympics whose flexible sporting programme is usually skewed in the hosts' favour.

Junemar Fajardo and Marc Pingris both look to represent the Philippines in other sports.

Gilas Pilipinas completed a sweep of the 2019 SEA Games men's basketball tournament by manhandling Thailand, 115-81, Tuesday night at the Mall of Asia Arena to cop the gold medal for the Philippines.

Indonesia's national basketball team coach and former Gilas Pilipinas mentor Rajko Toroman was so impressed with Vic Manuel that he compared him to Serbian star Nikola Jokic, one of the best big men in the NBA today.

With less than 48 hours left in the 2019 SEA Games, the Philippines is now impossible to beat in the overall medal tally.
