First-ever Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz expressed encouragement to beleaguered fellow Olympian and pole vaulter Ernest John “EJ” Obiena, saying he must continue jumping for the Philippines despite the everyday challenges they encounter.

“Don’t give up whatever they say to you, you can do it. You have to keep going to overcome the challenges,” the weightlifter Diaz told the 26-year-old Obiena during their online appearance on Level Up’s Radyo Katipunan show last week.

And from one Olympian to another, the 30-year-old Diaz encouraged him to work hard and train smart after his recovery to defend his title in the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi, Vietnam on May 12 to 23, as well as the Asian Games in September in Hangzhou, China. Obiena is still in Uhingen, Baden Wurttemberg, Germany for his continuous rehabilitation after a minor surgery last week to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee.

“Ate Hidi is our best example of what a Filipino athlete should be. Her journey defines what being a Filipino athlete needs to go thru yet still shine in the world stage. She showed the world that we Filipinos are one of the best if not the best. She inspires the nation to be better and to keep striving for greatness. She inspires the whole country.”
