Journey to summit continues for Obiena, Filipinas Returning PSA Forum to tackle SEAG, Asiad

Plus, they know they can play – and beat—the region’s best as the Filipinas had defeated the SEA Games’ eventual champion in Vietnam via a 2-1 score in the elimination round, in what coach Alen Stajcic called as “their best performance in the tournament.”

“We saved our best performance against our toughest opponent,” said Stajcic.

Prior to this, the Filipinas handed their fellow World Cup-bound Vietnam a 4-0 spanking in the AFF Women’s Championships in Manila last year.

Stajcic said the SEAG campaign hardly put a dent in their preparations for the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

“This has no effect in our preparations. It’s just another group of matches in an experienced group,” said Stajcic, who can now focus on the team’s campaign in the FIFA World Cup, jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20.

Hidilyn Diaz shares dream of Obiena, Filipinas Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz shares the dream of Obiena and the Filipinas, even though she already reached the Summit during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, because that’s what champions do—go for the best version of themselves.

Diaz already began her qualifying journey after finishing fourth overall with a 221-kg lift in the Asian Weightlifting Championships in Jinju, South Korea recently.

Considering that it was her first time to compete in the heavier 59-kg class, Diaz’s campaign was a relative success, as weightlifters in all weight divisions are looking to finish inside the top eight to automatically qualify for the Paris Olympics.
