Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz slays on a fashion magazine’s front page.
Hidilyn Diaz has once again proven that she’s an icon.
With the country’s first-ever Olympic gold medal, the Filipina weightlifting champ shines on the fashion scene as a cover of the Philippine edition of the globally renowned fashion and lifestyle magazine, Vogue Philippines.
Gearing up for the upcoming Olympics, the glamor magazine features Filipino athletes who showcased the pinnacle of Philippine excellence on the global stage in their July issue.
After her incredible Olympic feat and inspiring story, Hidilyn graces the cover of the prestigious fashion publication.
In a stunning display of grace and power, the Pinay her-story maker commands attention in a flowing blue dress that mirrors the fluidity of her movements on the Olympic stage. Her muscles ripple with strength, each curve a testament to the dedication and resilience that brought her to victory. Adorning her arm, the Olympic rings tattoo gleams, a permanent reminder of her triumph and commitment to excellence.
She also slays in a striking black dress that mirrors the fierceness of her spirit.
In the serene aftermath of her historic Olympic triumph, the Filipina gold medalist finds herself at a pivotal crossroads. Wrestling with the decision of whether to pursue another Olympic journey, she embraces a new adventure: motherhood.
According to her interview with Vogue, she and her husband, Julius Naranjo, have been focusing their efforts on building their family. They have been trying for two months already.
“We’ve been trying for a baby for two months now, but we’re not pregnant yet. We thought that just because we decided to try and stop using protection, it would happen right away. But it hasn’t yet. It turns out there’s prayers involved,” she said with Vogue.
Amid the anticipation and wonder of nurturing a new life, her dedication to weightlifting remains steadfast.
Hidilyn embarks on a new chapter, dedicating herself to nurturing the next generation through her own weightlifting academy. With passion and purpose, she shares her expertise, shaping young minds and bodies with the same determination that fueled her journey to gold.
