This is one of the main highlight for me of Olympics 2020 along with Neeraj winning the Javelin Gold. This medal is start of an era of Philippines dominance for the years to come. This is not a medal but an inspiration to millions. Love to Philippines from India.

You can really see Filipino's positivity in this competition. Hidilyn was always positive and smiling in every attempt. You hurt yourself during the third lift but you still got the gold. What a champion. Congratulations!
