/ 30 October 2021

Diaz, who won the gold medal in weightlifting, said that she wanted to share her knowledge with the Filipino youth.

Gusto kong i-share yung blessings ko, experiences at mga learnings ko na mahalaga din ang sports sa nation building and education,” she said.

Diaz is still in her planning stage but she wants to call it “Hidilyn Weightlifting Academy.”

Marami kasi akong nakita at narinig na mga atleta na, after ng career nila, walang silang naipundar o naipon,” she said.

Nakakalungkot kaya ayokong makitang mangyari yon sa akin at sa mga kapwa ko atleta,” she added.
