HIDILYN DIAZ - Silver Medalist on RIO Olympics
The Filipino weightlifter got the first RIO Olympic's medal breaking the drought since 1996.
Hidilyn Diaz is competing for women's 53kg weightlifting division of the 2016 Summer Games this Sunday, August 7 2016 (August 8 and Monday in Philippines) at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
See below standing:
In the snatch event, Diaz failed to lift two of her 3 attempts and tallied just 88kg for 6th place in a tough field led by China and Chinese Taipei.
But Diaz, looking very comfortable and optimistic on the platform, recovered in the clean and jerk lift, successfully lifting 111kg in the first attempt and then a 112kg lift in her second attempt.
A series of unfortunate lifts befell the favored Li Yajun of China, who was a frontrunner in the snatch and was gunning for the gold, as she failed to clear any of her 3 attempts at the clean and jerk, opening the door for Diaz to grab the silver instead of the bronze.
Chinese-Taipei's Hsu Shu-Ching won the gold with a total weight of 212kg while Korea's Yoon Jin Hee took the bronze with 199 kg.
This made the Philippines into top 17 on Countries Medal Standing.
