Swimming

The Philippines qualified two swimmers (one man and one woman) to compete at the games, by achieving the MQS allocation slots. [21] [22] This will be Gawilan's third consecutive Paralympics participation having taken part in the 2016 and 2020 editions. [23]

Gawilan did not advance from the 200 m individual medley SM7 his first event at Paris 2024. He finished last among eleven swimmers. His time is slower than the 2:50.49 record he set in the 2020 Paralympics. [24] Coach Tony Ong projected him to qualify for the 200 m final which they used as a tune up for the 400 m freestyle. His struggle in the breaststroke sequence was assessed to be the reason of his elimination in the heats. [25]

He would perform better in the 400 m freestyle S7, his pet event. [24] He would finish third overall in the heats to advance to the final. However he would miss the podium, finishing sixth place. [26]

Otom shattered her previous personal best of 44.72 seconds with a 44.03 in the heats of the 50 m backstroke S5. She placed 4th in her heat and 7th overall to sneak in to the final. [27] In the final, she was in bronze medal position until the 25-meter mark where she slowly faded to clock in at exactly 44 seconds and eventually wind up 6th in her Paralympic Games debut, smashing her short-lived personal best by three hundredths of a second. [28]

It was more or less the same story in the 50 m butterfly S5. Otom placed third in her heat with a 46.85 which was good for fifth overall and another final. In the final, Otom started out strong but decelerated towards the finish to end her debut Paralympic campaign in 5th. [29]
