Hidilyn Diaz vlogs first meal with boyfriend Julius Naranjo after Olympic win
Fresh from receiving her gold medal from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Hidilyn Diaz vlogs about the moments following her historic win as the first Filipino to win a gold medal in the Olympics.
At 3 in the morning, Hidilyn is up and ready to eat in their designated dining area.
She greets her viewers, "Hi, guys. Right now, we're here in the main dining hall. This is my first meal after winning. This is what I'm getting," she says, showing a plate of pizza to the camera.
Hidilyn starts her vlog with a quick message for her supporters "I just want to say thank you to everyone, take care always, I love you."
Since the competition is over and the gold is hers, Hidilyn is looking to enjoy the country's cuisine. The Olympic champion can barely contain her excitement when she talks about Japanese food.
"Gusto ko pumunta sa Japanese Cuisine area kasi nandito tayo sa Japan. Matagal tagal ko rin itong hindi nakain, pero may binibigay naman sa akin. Lord, thank you at kakain na ako ng Japanese Cuisine."
Moments later, Hidilyn sits in the cafeteria with her strength and training coach and boyfriend Julius Naranjo and asks him, "What is your reaction today after I lift the 127 kg, did you believe it?"
Julius answers, "I believed it. The moment you stood it up, I knew you were going to jerk it. What did you do with the adjustment in training? What were the challenges we've been through and who were the people behind us?"
He adds, "We just tried to make sure that you hooked 90 to 94 kg in training. We tried to boost your confidence, the physical strength is there but if you're not confident then you can't use it to your own potential."
"Are you happy?" Hidilyn asks.
Julius answers with conviction, "Of course."
"Thank you so much Coach Julius," replies Hidilyn.

As she ends her vlog, Hidilyn expresses her wish to write a book about her career and her group of coaches called Team HD.
"Abangan niyo i-interviewhin ko rin ang Team HD. Sabi ko, gagawa kami ng libro, Team HD The Dream Team. After kong manalo, to give inspiration to everyone, sa mga bata, sa mga officials, sa mga Pilipino.
"Para malaman nila kung ano ang mindset ng isang champion. Sana bibili kayo kapag may libro na. Gusto ko rin malaman 'yung nasa isip nila, 'yung last time na frustrated ako sabi nila, masyado mataas standards ko and ganoon talaga, kaya ka nga Olympian..."
