I can’t get over them!
I keep crying every time I watch their videos. I feel the pride and joy in the videos of people cheering for them.
I can’t get over their strength, tenacity, and exceptional mental fortitude. I can only imagine the years and years of painstaking practice they have had to go through.
Hidilyn Diaz 🇵🇭 and Edgar Cheung Ka Long 🇭🇰, what shining examples of grit and resilience you give! 💪🏼
Hidilyn, you personify grace and courage. You have achieved more than just the historic win; By your example, you are giving Filipinas the confidence to envision themselves as truly strong women— and the permission to celebrate that strength.
Ka Long, I truly admire how humble you are. You’ve shared how you felt like a “nobody” amidst the other olympians… but by not being afraid to be vulnerable, you’ve shown how strong you can truly be.
Okay, I’ll stop here, because I just might cry again 🙈
So many more inspiring moments in the #Tokyo2020 Olympics. So much to learn from so many amazing athletes. Such a good feeling to end this day with ✨
