It was a journey that included a plea on social media for more financial support, allegations of involvement in a conspiracy to undermine President Rodrigo Duterte, and perhaps the most difficult of all -- a pandemic that caused the postponement of the Summer Games.
"Na-sorpresa ako na nagawa ko 'yun. Kakaiba si God," she said in the mixed zone in an interview with Gretchen Ho of Cignal TV. That prompted a meeting with the Philippine Sports Commission, who insisted that they did not lack in support for the weightlifter. "Nag-pandemic tayo, tapos na-stuck kami sa Malaysia, malaking bagay na gina-guide ako ni God. Tapos noon, nasa Malaysia kami, pinadala niya 'yung mga taong makakatulong sa amin para ma-survive namin 'yung pandemic. Sobrang thankful ako. Alam mo 'yun, nagte-training kami sa condominium. Talagang mahirap 'yung buhay that time," Diaz recalled.
But Diaz was always stronger in the clean and jerk, and she immediately set the tone by lifting 119kg in her first attempt. Liao kept in step with her, coolly lifting 118kg in her first attempt, and 123kg in her second. Diaz one-upped her with a lift of 124kg in her second attempt to stay in first place.
Congrats, God bless,, thank you for making us proud, Hidilyn

Wag mag courtesy call sa Malacanang please. Parang yung Golden State Warriors kay Donald Trump
Kapag May Pondo galing kay Senator Bong Go at President Duterte na 2 million para sa training at pag kuha ng magaling na Chinese weightlifting coach na si Kaiwen Gao from China. Eh sure ang Olympic Gold Medal 🥇🏋🏽♀️
DZMMTeleRadyo Curious lang, nung nag Silver Medal siya at napromote sa Air force at na awardan ng 6 Million at nanghingi ng tulong sa private companies...MAGKANO NAMAN INAMBAG ng ABS CBN para kay Hidilyn Diaz?

yung ni red tag ang nagdala ng gold tag sa bansa.
Salamat Duterte!
And to think that she was red-tagged by the Duterte Dictatorship!
Congrats Hidilyn! Ingat lang sa mga BUWAYANG nagkalat sa Kongreso at Senado... Election n naman sa 2022
Anuna kayang nangyari dun sa matrix na yon, wala namang napala
Si Hidilyn Diaz_Hidilyn at si GretchenHo ang nasama sa na-red-tag at na link sa OustDuterteNow movement noon base sa isang 'matrix' ni Duterte Bugok na inukit sa Manila paper na parang isang grade school student.
baka may plano si god sayo... congressman? mayor? o senator?
Hindi nakalimutan ni Hidilyn Diaz ang red tagged matrix ng Malacañang. Alam mo na kung saan ka dapat mag courtesy call pag uwi mo ng Pilipinas sa vice president lang at hindi sa mga ingrato sa Malacañang.
Babae talaga ang pag asa ng Pilipinas 🇵🇭
