A Melaka kampung house’s role in Philippines weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz’s path to Olympic glory

KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 — Weightlifter and newly-minted Olympic gold medallist Hidilyn Diaz from the Philippines proves that champions can be made anywhere — even a kampung house in Melaka.

In October 2020, she and her team relocated to a kampung house in Jasin, Melaka where they initially were able to train at a gym nearby. Undeterred, the 30-year-old knew she stood a good chance of winning gold at the Tokyo Olympics where she would be competing in the 55kg category, having won silver in Rio 2016 in her third consecutive appearance in the women's 53kg weightlifting category.

She and her entire team were in tears as they knew their toughest opponents would be the Chinese whom she beat comfortably. “I mean I’ve been sacrificing my food, and this is the time to celebrate together with the people who are behind me. So I’m really thankful I can eat now, yes,” said the 30-year-old who stands just 1.58 metres.She embraced the challenge and took on the massive expectations her nation had for her to bring home its first-ever gold medal.

It doesn’t mean anything, it can be anywhere in the world. If you are lazy, you’ll be lazy no matter where you’re. If you aren’t lazy, you’ll make things work wherever you are. Don’t focus on the wrong idea, as it sounds sad for the name of the city to be mentioned like that.
