The long wait is over for the Philippines to bring home a
Gold Medal in the Olympics! The country’s weight lifter sensation Hidilyn Diaz
bagged home not just a gold medal but set a world record in 55kg divison. She
won over Liao Quiyun of China with her 224kg total weight lift.
It took 97 years for the Philippines to won a Gold in the
Olympics. Because of Diaz winnings many Filipinos are so proud of her that even
private businessmen will reward her with cash and house and lot. Diaz was also
a silver medalist in weightlifting during the Rio de Janeiro Olympic. Her feeling is indescribable after she
finished her last lift. It was a very dramatic scene because everyone is crying
because of so much joy. AS one who watch the game, it is really breath taking
and terrifying.
Hidilyn brings back the trust and confidence of every
Filipino athlete. That in every sacrifice there is always a prize. A prize that
will bring glory not just to one’s self but for everyone.
CONGRATULATIONS HIDILYN!
