This was confirmed by Philippine Sports Commission Chairman Dicky Bachmann on Tuesday, July 30, as the PH team is bracing for a hectic schedule a day after a lull as no Filipino athlete saw action on Monday. Bachmann said Diaz inaugurated a weightlifting academy on July 26, the very day she clinched the first gold of the nation.
Diaz made history during the Tokyo Games when she won the gold in the 55kg class in record fashion, a feat that lifted the nation from despair after almost being brought down by Covid pandemic a year before.
