Coming from a developing country that still has more to show to the world. This hits different to us. Filipinos are tight knit to competitions. Her winning victory is inspiring to us all.

Our possible 2nd Gold medal will be on either EJ Obiena, Carlos Yulo, and our Boxers. Hoping that a Pinoy or Pinay cyclist will qualify for the Olympics.

Naiiyak pa din ako kapag napapanuod ko to. Come back stronger, Hidilyn! Mabuhay ka!

Now we have 2. Congratulations, Carlos Edriel Yulo, for winning the Gold.

Ms Hidilyn Diaz, you are the pride of the Philippines. We love you for bringing the very first gold medal for our country! Dahil sa iyo, narinig sa buong mundo ang pambansang awit ng Pilipinas.

[aixpuyod]

The nature of this sport in particular is that it's you holding your own with the weight, and a split second of doubting yourself whether you could pick it up or not changes everything. Her discipline and her overall mental strength, her passion and drive to win AND set an Olympic record on top of it is something we can all learn from. 🥹 Proud Pinoy!!!

Who’s here after Carlos Yulo won gold in Paris 2024? 🥇🇵🇭

[mnmg]

As a Filipino, this is one of my few regrets, I was on a vacation in a resort when this happened. I really wanted to watch her performance live, but instead watched a Disney animated film because I was nervous she couldn't make it 😅 Now, I try to watch every competition live. And it's been crazy lately, from Obiena's close podium finish to Carlos' back to back golden efforts. Yes, I did sacrifice some sleep 😆

[MeghanArtemis-rsjh]

I will always cherish this moment in our history

[KATIE_LEDECKY]

Now 3 Gold 🥇 with Carlos Yulo Philippines 🇵🇭 pride mabuhay ❤❤❤
