Hidilyn Diaz shares body transformation throughout Olympic journey
Hidilyn Diaz proudly shared her body transformation throughout the 12 years she has competed in the Olympics.
On Instagram, the Filipino weightlifter shared a photo of herself competing during the Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016, and finally, Tokyo 2020.
It is clear to see in the photo that she definitely bulked up!
Hildilyn credited the transformation to "sports nutrition, strength & conditioning, and sports psychology" and gave a shout out to her former coaches.
"My perspective changed as an athlete as I got older, I am more open, surrounded with good people that helped me achieve the impossible and they never gave up on me, even when they had to sacrifice a lot," she said.
"God makes me humble with every success and failure I experience along the way," she added.
Hidilyn delivered the Philippines' first-ever Olympic gold medal after ruling the women's 55-kg weightlifting event of the Summer Games in Tokyo, Japan last July.
She is set to compete at the 31st Southeast Asian Games weightlifting competition slated from May 19 to 22 in Hanoi, Vietnam.
"And now, I still continue this journey, SEAGAMES Hanoi is my new beginning for [Paris 2024]," she said.
"I am determined to get qualified for the Olympics together with #TeamHD & the people behind me (yoga coach and PT), sponsors, people who believe in me and of course God," she added. —JCB, GMA News
