00:21 weightlifter, Hydeline Dias Naranjo.
00:23 She was also awarded the Philippine Weightlifter of the Flame Award
00:25 for her outstanding success in 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.
00:30 In a statement from TV Sports, Dias Naranjo said that
00:34 this recognition is a big deal in order to inspire the next generation of Filipino athletes.
00:40 This is a big deal for us, the athletes.
00:43 Because it will serve as inspiration to the young athletes.
00:48 And for us, it's almost over.
00:52 Because it makes us feel that we are being valued,
00:58 as women in sports.
01:00 Dias Naranjo also shared a message to the young women
01:04 who are also eager to enter the world of sports.
01:07 My message to the young women is that
01:12 there are many questions.
01:13 Can we join the sports? Yes.
01:15 Sports is for everyone.
01:17 Men, women, sports has no gender.
01:21 You can do it.
01:23 Don't doubt yourself.
01:24 Sports has no gender.
01:28 You can do it.
01:29 And we can see that most of our achievers are women.
01:34 So more chances for our women's athletes.
01:39 Dias Naranjo's first ever Philippine Olympic gold medalist
01:44 who will not let women down in the field of sports.
