Olympic weightlifting champion Hidilyn Diaz declared on her Instagram reel that the countdown is on for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
Diaz’s reel on Thursday showed her previous lifts in recent memory, including the 2023 World Weightlifting Championships in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“The countdown to the 2024 Summer Olympic Games is on! Just 6 months before we return to the Olympic stage in Paris!” she declared.
“With each lift, we’re a step closer. Ready to embrace the challenges and bring pride to our country,” she added.
Diaz, however, will not be defending her 55-kilogram weight class title in Paris because she will compete in the 59-kilogram weight class.
The 55-kg weight class has been scrapped in the Paris Games.
