Hidilyn Diaz would forever be known as the Filipino to achieve what many is calling
the most significant feat in Philippine sports history—winning the country’s first ever
Olympic gold medal. She brings home the coveted and elusive Gold, from the world’s
most famous sports competition, for a country which has been trying for the last 97
years
Diaz and her team, which the Olympian refers to as Team HD, was stuck in Malaysia
for months, again, because of lockdown restrictions. With limited access to gyms, she
and her team was forced to be creative, using water jugs attached on either end of a
bamboo stick as weights.
Being stuck in another country also meant she was away from her family—her biggest
support system—for a very long time, which is another mental struggle she had to
contend with.
And that’s just the start of it. Diaz also struggled with funding her training for years,
famously airing her thoughts about it on social media, which irked some officials who
thought she was being too much of a diva. She was not. She was simply asking for
help because she wanted to bring home that gold medal as much as, if not more than,
any Filipino athlete.
