Hall of Fame for Hidilyn Diaz Better Late than Never

The Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) has finally recognized Hidilyn Diaz's phenomenal weightlifting performance in the Tokyo Olympics by inducting her into their Hall of Fame. This long-overdue recognition is a testament to her hard work and dedication to her craft.

Acknowledging the Achievement

After years of waiting, we are thankful to PSA President Nelson Beltran and his Board for acknowledging Hidilyn's achievement. Her win marked the Philippines' first Olympic gold medal in weightlifting, and it was a momentous occasion that brought pride to our nation.

A Look at the Hall of Fame

As I reflect on this achievement, I wonder who else has been honored with membership in the PSA Hall of Fame over the years. Is Caloy Yulo, my Paris Olympic roommate and two-time gold medalist, also a member?

The Weightlifting Community Unites

Although I was not feeling well that night, I am glad to have learned about the weightlifting community's presence at the PSA Awards night in Manila Hotel. It was heartening to see that our sport had awardees on this particular night.

A Lesson Learned Respect is Essential

This incident serves as a reminder that respect is essential, especially when it comes to our national sports associations (NSAs). The Philippine Olympic Committee's (POC) decision to invite and spend on this coach without informing Samahang Weightlifting ng Pilipinas (SWP) about the Paris Olympics is baffling. It raises questions about who was behind the invitation and whether it was a POC member.

Conclusion

As we look ahead to the Southeast Asian Games in December this year or world championships, I hope to see more medals won by our beloved country. To the PSA, thank you again for your consistent support and recognition of our athletes' achievements.
