Teener Naomi Marjorie Cesar snatches the SEA Games 800-meter gold from favorite Vietnam lass

CHONBURI — All hail, Miss Cesar, teen queen.

Sixteen-year-old Naomi Marjorie Cesar galloped to history at the 33rd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, dislodging 2023 women’s 800-meter run champion and hot favorite Nguyen Thi Thu Hà of Vietnam from the throne.

This makes the youth standout the youngest Philippine athlete to ever win the SEAG gold in athletics, according to the Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association.

“It was great, couldn’t ask for a better result,” said Ms. Cesar, a second-generation athlete whose father Ben competed at the Games in the 1990s and whose elder sister Malea is with the Filipinas football team.

Ms. Cesar almost fell over at the turn but quickly recovered and made a gutsy kick from the 200-meter mark, stunning the Vietnamese champion.

She kept her blistering pace and reached home in 2:10.2 ahead of Ms. Nguyen (2:10.3).

Compatriot Bernalyn Bejoy (2:10.6) joined Ms. Cesar at the podium. “It feels amazing. I’m so honored and so proud to represent our country and to win the gold is a dream come true.”

Though a first-timer in the SEAG, the US-based middle-distance runner already showed high potential when she won the silver at the recent Asian Youth Games.

“I knew it’s a possibility,” Ms. Cesar said of a potential Cinderella success. “I didn’t put any expectations on myself but definitely. I visualized myself winning.”

While the teen queen was waging battle in Bangkok, her ate, Malea, nervously watched the live coverage of the race from the Filipinas’ hotel 119 kilometers away in Chonburi.

Malea shed tears of joy when her kid sister won.

“I’m so proud of her,” said the footballer, who cried in the arms of goalkeeper Inna Palacios as the rest of the Filipinas clapped.

The ball is now on Malea’s hand to make it a double celebration for the Cesar family on Wednesday by helping the Filipinas win the women’s football gold against Vietnam in Chonburi. — Olmin Leyba

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
