Naglabas ng kaniyang reaksiyon ang 2016 Olympics gold medalist sa weightlifting women's division na si Hidilyn Diaz hinggil sa hindi niya pagkakapasok para sa 2024 Paris Olympics, sa kabila ng kaniyang mga sakripisyo at paghahanda para dito.

Sa kaniyang mahabang Instagram post, sinabi ni Diaz na ang kaniyang kalooban ay hindi marahil akma sa kalooban ng Diyos.

"The result was not according to what I wanted and planned. But Thy will be done. It was not my day and #Paris2024 is not for me," ani Hidilyn.

Sa kabila nito, nagpaabot pa rin siya ng pagbati sa mga qualified at lalaban sa Paris Olympics, at nagpasalamat pa rin siya sa mga taong nakasama niya sa paghahanda para dito.

'Pikon daw?' UAAP fan na nag-dirty finger, agaw-eksena sa San Juan Arena!

"Congratulations to all the weightlifters around the world who qualified in #Paris2024, especially the Filipino Athletes, and to the athletes who did their best in the last Olympic Qualifying Competition."

"We did great, we fought hard, and we did our best for our country. 💪🏽"

"It’s the end of my #Paris2024 Olympic journey, I will still lift, continue to lift, and inspire young Filipino Athletes to become Olympic Champions..." aniya.

Sa pagpapatuloy ng kaniyang long post, ibinahagi pa ni Hidilyn ang kaniyang mga realisasyon.

"I realized what is forever: and it is not FAME, not money, not even winning or losing. but God, family, and real friends. These are my FOREVER. Thank you for your heartfelt messages of love and support."

"Winning is not everything; It is being on the platform and taking on the challenges that give inspiration to other athletes. Thank you to the athletes who messaged me and said that I inspired them. I served and will continue to serve my purpose in weightlifting, as I inspire many athletes to dream high, take the challenge, and work hard to achieve their dreams and never give up. Just LIFT! You can do it."

"The Olympics and weightlifting are not my everything. I sacrificed a lot of my time to train and sometimes I forget to enjoy the process because I am caught with the high expectations and high pressure of being an elite athlete. This moment is for me to learn new skills - join classes and workshops to learn to cook and bake. I have long wanted to take culinary courses since I was 22 years old, and now, I will not just imagine doing pasta, pizza, and kare-kare, I will bake and cook some for my friends and family."

"I will also learn to do business and invest myself in education to be a better sports leader. I have a lot of things to learn in life."

"This is #FamilyTime, I will be spending time with my family, Ninongs & Ninangs, and my friends. Together, we’ll make memories and enjoy the time with them."

"I will have time to give back for the sports and weightlifting. Julius and I will do a fundraising weightlifting 101 for grassroots and the @hdweightliftingacademy."

"I truly believe God has a better plan. I trust Him and for now, because of my love for God, weightlifting, my country and for all of you… I will continue to LIFT everything - all in God’s hands!!!"
