ICYMI: Hidilyn Diaz, who won the only gold staked in the same division in the Tokyo Olympics last year, was the best in the snatch, clean and jerk and total in the Colombian capital as she finally reigned in the Worlds while getting her bid for Paris.
No nonsense prep
The PH contingent first set up camp in the United States before heading to Colombia a week before the competition.“It was good timing because this is the last time that I will compete at 55 kg,” said Diaz, who would need to choose between going down to the 49-kg division or moving up to 59 kg in Paris.
“It’s really hard when you become famous,” Diaz told the website. “I have been able to control it, but it’s very hard time management.”“[This win] is absolutely amazing,” said Philippine Weightlifting Federation president Monico Puentevella. “It shows her incredible commitment.” “We are truly grateful to Team HD for this is a result of hard work,” the statement said. “[This latest achievement is] a combination of determination, continuous training and confidence.”Hidilyn Diaz wins three golds in the 2022 World Weightlifting Championship.–Coach Jeaneth Aro/Facebook
