Published March 17, 2021, 2:36 PM MB File Photo Olympic silver medalist Hidilyn Diaz leads a short but solid list of sportsmen and entities to be handed out with citations in the SMC-PSA (Philippine Sportswriters Association) Annual Awards Night Saturday next week at the TV5 Media Center. The 30-year-old pride of Zamboanga City completed a three-gold sweep in the women’s 55 kg division of the Roma Weightlifting World Cup in Italy last year just before the pandemic to virtually assure her of a berth in the Tokyo Olympics. Diaz, who ended the country’s 20-year medal drought in the Olympics after bagging the silver in the 2016 Rio De Janeiro Games, and 19 others are going to be cited by the country’s oldest media organization during the March 27 virtual event co-presented by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) and Cignal TV, with 1 Pacman Partylist and Rain or Shine as major backers.
