PROSPECTS Rosegie Ramos and Lovely Inan kick off the country’s in the International Weightlifting Federation World Championships on Tuesday at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Olympic Complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Ramos and Inan are competing in women’s 49 kgs in the tournament that serves as a qualifier for the Paris 2024 Olympics. “It’s not that easy but we will try,” Rosegie Ramos, a protégé of Olympic and world champion Hidilyn Diaz-Naranjo, told BusinessMirror Monday. “I’m aspiring to become an Olympian that’s why I’m pushing myself hard.”Ceniza will see action on Wednesday in men’s 55 kgs, after which the spotlight focuses on Tokyo Games champion Diaz-Naranjo and Elreen Ann Ando on Friday in women’s 59 kgs.
Vanessa Sarno, a two-time Southeast Asian Games champion, and Kristel Macrohon will compete in women’s 71 kgs on September 13. “I’m pretty it’s a very difficult competition. What’s important is to finish in the top eight to boost their chances of making it to the Olympics next year,” Samahang Weightlifting ng Pilipinas secretary-general Patrick Lee said.
