HIDILYN DIAZ-NARANJO’S journey to a second Olympic gold medal looks bumpy and circuitous as she virtually starts from scratch in a heavier weight division at 59 kgs of women’s weightlifting.
“I will be heading to 59 [kgs] and that would be a very challenging preparation and competition, it’s not easy,” Diaz-Naranjo said. “I might not win at the start, but I will qualify and win the gold in the Paris 2024 Olympics, I’ll do my best.”“I would like to tell everyone that the life of an athlete is not always on the positive side…or you always have to win, I just want to say that,” the 31-year-old Diaz-Naranjo said. “I will accept whatever results and I hope my fans will also accept that.
“But what’s important is we always fight to achieve our goals—and that’s to win my second Olympics gold medal,” she said.
