Silver for Hidilyn Diaz in 2017 the Asian Martial Arts & Indoor Games

In a country crazy with Basketball. Could we perhaps be overlooking one of our greatest assets? Filipino’s are built perfectly for the sport of weightlifting. Not only can we dominate at SEA Games, but we have also had success at Asian Level and higher international meets.

Olympic Silver Medalist Hidilyn Diaz came agonizingly close to the Fairy Tale Olympic Gold First medal for the Philippines. Pinoyathletics even predicted in 2015 she would win an Olympic medal despite the scepticism from some so-called armchair experts.

Well for Diaz this drove the girl from Zamboanga City to strive harder to do so. Consequently, Diaz story was dramatized in MMK. Working with several coaches, when she met up with PSC Strength and conditioning coach Jay Futalan her luck turned around. Hence Futalan fixed up several mechanical issues overlooked in her posture and she quickly levelled up to Asian Gold, World Bronze, and Olympic Silver within a year.

Furthermore, Diaz took Silver in the Asian Indoors in the Women’s -53kg Category. 2013 World Champion Li Yajun of China who bombed out of the 2016 Olympic Games took the Gold. Yajun lift was 93kg in Snatch and 115kg in the Clean and Jerk for a combined total of 208kg. Diaz had 90 and 114kg total of 204kg for Silver. And home crowd athlete Kristina

Shremetova of Turkmenistan took Bronze with 196kg.

Dessa Delos Santos is due to line up in the Women’s -58kg Category along with Kristel Macrohon -69kg Category.

The Philippines could have entered more athletes. Most noteworthy It had no entries in the Men’s.
