Hidilyn Diaz A Shining Star in the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Hall of Fame

We are thrilled to celebrate Hidilyn Diaz, our first-ever Olympic gold medalist, as she takes her rightful place in the PSA Hall of Fame. This long-overdue recognition is a testament to her outstanding weightlifting achievements in the Tokyo Olympics.

5 Key Insights on Hidilyn Diaz's Induction

### 1. A Well-Deserved Recognition

Hidilyn Diaz's induction into the PSA Hall of Fame is a significant milestone, acknowledging her remarkable performance in the Tokyo Olympics. We commend PSA President Nelson Beltran and his Board for recognizing this phenomenal achievement.

### 2. Paving the Way for Future Honorees

We hope that Hidilyn's recognition will inspire other outstanding athletes to be honored in the future. Perhaps, Caloy Yulo, her Paris Olympic roommate, might also be recognized next year?

### 3. A Memorable Night Despite Challenges

Although I was unable to attend the PSA night at Manila Hotel due to health reasons, I am glad that weightlifting had some awardees to celebrate. Knowing that my absence didn't detract from the significance of the event made it a special night.

### 4. Questions and Concerns

However, I must address concerns surrounding the ceremony. It was disturbing to learn that a former coach of ours in Samahang Weightlifting ng Pilipinas (SWP) allegedly participated despite being suspended and removed from the national team for physically assaulting one of our young lifters.

### 5. Respect Above All Else

Respect is essential, particularly when it comes to National Sports Associations (NSAs), as we are also members of PSA. I hope that this incident will serve as a wake-up call for PSA to exercise greater caution in their selection process and maintain the integrity of their Hall of Fame.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
