HIDILYN DIAZ-NARANJO won’t vie for a third consecutive Southeast Asian Games gold medal in favor of the Asian Weightlifting Championship—a Paris 2024 Olympics qualifier that runs in conflict with the Cambodia Games in May.
“I don’t see it as advisable for us to compete in the SEA Games because it is not an Olympic qualifying event,” said Naranjo, adding that Diaz-Naranjo also wanted to give younger athletes the opportunity to excel in Cambodia. Diaz-Naranjo hurdled her first with flying colors by sweeping the snatch, clean and jerk and total lift for her first world championships gold medals in Bogota, Colombia, last December 7.The 55-kg class was scratched from the Paris program, forcing Diaz-Naranjo to move up to the 50-kg division.
“It’s still the same training routine after we celebrated Christmas and New Year,” Naranjo said. “We didn’t miss a beat.”
