The Power of Mojdeh Siblings Fueling BEST to a 20-Gold Explosion
In an impressive display of sibling synergy and determination, the Mojdeh s[1D[K
siblings - Micaela Jasmine, Behrouz Mohammad Madi, and Mikhael Jasper Mike[5D[K
Mike Mikee Mojdeh - powered the Behrouz Elite Swimming Team (BEST) to a d[1D[K
dominant 20-gold medal haul in the Philippine Aquatics, Inc. National Age-G[5D[K
Age-Group Championships.
Jasmine's Resilience The Spark That Ignited It All
At the heart of this extraordinary achievement was national team standout M[1D[K
Micaela Jasmine, who turned adversity into authority. Just months after a f[1D[K
frustrating Southeast Asian Games stint in Bangkok, where illness forced he[2D[K
her out of her signature event, Jasmine returned with purpose, sweeping fou[3D[K
four gold medals in emphatic fashion.
Jasmine's Intensity A Catalyst for Success
Her comeback performance was nothing short of remarkable, as she ruled the [K
100m butterfly (102.60), then stamped her class in the 50m butterfly (28.5[5D[K
(28.50), 200m individual medley (227.29), and 800m freestyle (927.55). Bu[2D[K
But for Jasmine, the job is far from finished.
Pleased but not satisfied, she posted ahead of the 2026 Asian Games qua[3D[K
qualifiers in Nagoya, Japan.
The Entire Family's Charge Madi and Mikee's Contributions
Matching her intensity was her brother Behrouz Mohammad Madi, who delivered[9D[K
delivered a statement performance of his own in the boys' 15-year division.[9D[K
division. Bound for the Palarong Pambansa in Agusan, Madi collected four go[2D[K
golds and one silver, dominating the 200m butterfly (211.28), 100m butterf[7D[K
butterfly (59.19), 400m IM (452.03), and 50m butterfly (27.10), while addi[4D[K
adding a runner-up finish in the 200m IM (217.13).
Mikee's Rise to the Top
Competing in the boys' 11-year class, Mikee racked up three golds in the 80[2D[K
800m freestyle (1118.22), 400m freestyle (531.85), and 200m freestyle (2[3D[K
(237.89), along with two bronzes in backstroke events.
The Power of Sibling Synergy
The journey with Jasmine taught us that while training abroad helps, true [K
sustainability comes from investing here - creating a system that nurtures,[9D[K
nurtures, supports, and challenges our athletes, said BEST team manager Jo[2D[K
Joan Mojdeh. When we invest in grassroots, nothing is impossible.
A Team Effort Medalists Join the Charge
Kristian Yugo Cabada added three golds in the boys' 16-year division, while[5D[K
while Elisha Ysabelle Montoya chipped in two golds and a bronze in the girl[4D[K
girls' 16-year class. Jandrake Timothy Dabac (1 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze), [K
Hiro Jin Katigbak (1 gold, 1 silver), Gabriel Vincent Dimandal (1 gold, 1 b[1D[K
bronze), and Therese Annika Quinto (1 gold) further boosted the medal count[5D[K
count.
A Cycle of Motivation Veteran Swimmers' Return
Even more telling was the return of veteran swimmers like Jordan Ken Lobos,[6D[K
Lobos, whose comeback performance added inspiration to the rising generatio[9D[K
generation. At an age when many step away, seeing them return and compete [K
again shows that passion has no expiration, Joan said. Their presence fue[3D[K
fuels the next wave - it creates a cycle of motivation.
The Power of Mojdeh Siblings A Lasting Influence
For BEST, this wasn't just a medal haul. It was a statement. And for Jasmin[6D[K
Jasmine Mojdeh, it was only the beginning.
In the words of Joan Mojdeh, I am especially proud of Jasmine. Seeing her [K
back in the water, locked in yet full of joy, has been incredible. In such [K
a short time, she has rediscovered her love for swimming - and is even post[4D[K
posting her best times in distance events she rarely swam before.
The influence of the Mojdeh siblings' performances will be felt for years t[1D[K
to come, as they continue to inspire and motivate their teammates, coaches,[8D[K
coaches, and fans.
