“I have finally recovered and continue to push my intention to return to my normal elements, Diaz-Naranjo told BusinessMirror on Tuesday, adding that her first performance in the 59kg weight class will be at the Asian Weightlifting Championships from 3 to 13 May in Jinju, South Korea.”
Diaz-Naranjo made his debut as a modest 17-year-old joker in the 58 kg category at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She stayed in that division in London in 2012 but shed pounds for the 53kg division and won a silver medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
“Unfortunately, the World Weightlifting Federation excluded the women’s 55 kg from the Paris program. Be stronger, build more muscle than ever, and my body will be stronger than ever. I also have my technique, she said. I am very grateful to Team HD for giving me everything I needed to develop me into a competitive person.”
The HD team consists of her husband, strength and conditioning coach Julius Naranjo, psychologist Dr. Karen Katrina Trinidad, and nutritionist Janit Aro. Diaz-Naranjo has won every possible weightlifting title – in Tokyo and a gold medal at the Asian Games in Jakarta in 2018, two crowns at the Southeast Asian Games and, most recently, the World Championships in Bogota last December.
“Last January, it was pretty hard to get strong again, but I just got back to my strength and my daily routine after dropping my original weight of 55kg, she said. But my confidence level is now at 80 percent… I’m starting to rebuild my strength and I’m on the right track.”

Diaz to rev up Paris Olympics bid in Georgia
Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz-Naranjo will return to the Power and Grace Performance training camp in Lawrenceville, Georgia for two weeks next month to begin preparations for her bid for the fifth consecutive Olympic Games 2024 in Paris, France, in next year.
“Babalik po ako sa Power and Grace Performance Camp for two weeks in March. For motivation and a change of scenery, po ba, Diaz said last week during the national team’s selection for two major overseas matches in May, which were held at Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
“Nandun jung is an Olympian from Canada na makakalaban ko, added Zamboanga’s pride, referring to Maud Charron, who won the gold medal in the women’s 64kg weight category at the Tokyo Olympics.”
Diaz, who led the women’s 55kg division in Tokyo two years ago, will move down to 59kg and Charrón will drop five kg to try to qualify for the French capital next year under the International Olympic Committee’s revised weight classification for Sport.
Diaz said she and coach husband Julius Naranjo want to bring teammate and Zamboangueña international Rose Guy Ramos to train with her at the famous training camp where she trained for the world tournament in Bogotá, Colombia in December last year.
This work paid huge dividends as Diaz achieved a golden breakthrough by winning three mints in the women’s 55kg category in her sixth appearance at the World Weightlifting Exhibition. Gusto namin at maka-top three si Rose Gie in Paris kaya gusto namin ni Julius at makasama siya in the USA. Kasi ‘yun naman ang ambisyon ng sinumang atleta, di ba? Diaz spoke about Ramos, who competes in the 49 kg category, a competition included in the Paris Games.
Diaz reiterated that she is withdrawing her bid for the 32nd Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia and the 18th Asian Games in Hangzhou because she is focused on her remaining Olympic Weightlifting qualifiers, whose schedule is too close to the two international events.
She said that the first qualifying tournament this year will be the 51st Asian Weightlifting Championships, which will be held from May 3 to 13 in Jinju, South Korea, and will be held immediately before the SEA Games in Cambodia, which will be held from May 5 to 17.
The Asian Games in Hangzhou will be held from September 23 to October 8. The World Weightlifting Championships, which is also an Olympic Weightlifting qualification tournament, will take place from 2 to 17 September in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Normal recovery time after a competition is about three months, therefore, she said. After the World Championships in Riyadh, her next competitions will be the IWF Grand Prix in Doha, in December and the mandatory World Cup competition in Phuket, Thailand in April 2024. Both competitions are Olympic 2024 qualifiers.
