It’s been one year since I’ve decided to compete in the 59kg weight category. I started with a lot of doubts, fears, and questions: “Can I still do it? Can I still qualify for the Olympics?” I got injured, and cried a lot, as I am giving my all for my last dance in Paris. I am closing 2023 with confidence that I can make it to my 5th Olympics and that I will give my best for the country 🇵🇭. That’s because God gave me a dream in my heart ❤️ and the strength 💪🏽 to face the challenges of being an athlete. He gave me a team that believes in me and trusts me that I can do it. God gave me my family, friends, and fans that keep supporting my journey as an athlete. No challenge is too great as I hit 100kg in the snatch in my last Olympic Qualifying this year in Doha, Qatar at the IWF Grand Prix II from 93kg at the 2022 IWF World Championship. It’s not just about lifting weights, it’s about lifting dreams for my sport, for the future and #ParaSaBayan (for the country). We continue to believe, dream and trust the process. #Paris2024, here I come! 🏋️💙 🎥: @hookgrip #TeamHD #Olympics #ParisOlympics #TeamPhilippines @phil.sportscommission @mvpsfph #SWP @underarmourph
