Hidilyn Diaz of the Philippines won the gold in the 53 kg weightlifting women's category. She last won a silver medal in the Rio Olympics 2 years ago. For her feat, Diaz will be awarded 2 million pesos by the Philippine Olympic Committee, the same amount from the Philippine Sports Commission, 1 million from the Philippine ambassador to Indonesia where the games were held. Another 1 million pesos from a sports organization and 500,000 pesos from her local government. The total of 6.5 million pesos is around $130,000.

Wow, that's a massive sum of money! Congratulations to her on winning the gold. I wonder how many years she dedicated to the sport? I hope she makes intelligent decisions regarding her purse and not be like other athletes who splurge into luxuries after obtaining them. I hope she can be part of the next Olympics and be on top of the podium next time.
