5 other bronze medals were netted by tracksters Simeon Toribio and Miguel White; and boxers Jose "Cely" Villanueva, Lepoldo Serantes and Roel Velasco.

3 other Filipino athletes have also won medals, but only in demonstration/exhibition sports. Arianne Cerdena won the gold medal in ladies' bowling during the 1988 Seoul Olympics, while Stephen Fernandez and Bea Lucero each got a bronze in taekwondo during the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
