THE Samahang Weightlifting ng Pilipinas again booked a banner year to deserve a special recognition in the San Miguel Corp.-Philippine Sportswriters Association Annual Awards Night.
The 32-year-old Diaz-Naranjo was a class act in the 88th International Weightlifting Federation World Championships in Bogota last December with a three-gold medal sweep in the women’s 55kg class—a fitting follow up to the historic first Olympic gold medal in Tokyo in 2021. The SWP shared NSA of the Year honors with the Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines in 2021. The ABAP contributed two silver medals—Nesthy Petecio and Carlo Paalam—and one bronze—Eumir Felix Marcial—at the Tokyo Olympics.
The weightlifting association led by its president Monico Puentevella, however, is more than just Diaz-Naranjo in 2022.
