HIDILYN DIAZ-NARANJO will be bestowed the Athlete of the Year award for the second consecutive year during the San Miguel Corp.-Philippine Sportswriters Association Awards Night on March 6 at the Diamond Hotel in Manila.
The PSA’s biggest trophy is actually the fourth for Diaz-Naranjo—she also won in 2016 for her silver medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and her gold medal in Jakarta where she shared the accolade with four others at the 18th Asian Games in 2018. “Hidilyn Diaz-Naranjo is the unanimous choice as Athlete of the Year for 2022. Her latest triumph is testament to her being a true world-class athlete who continues to be an inspiration to Filipinos since her historic gold medal win at the Tokyo Olympics,” said PSA president Rey Lachica, sports editor of Tempo.
A Second Lieutenant at the Philippine Air Force, Diaz-Naranjo kicked off her 2022 campaign by retaining the gold medal in the women’s 55 kgs of weightlifting at the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam last May.
