PH Wraps Up Most Successful Olympics Campaign With 4 Medals

MANILA, Philippines—Boxer Carlo Paalam’s medal in the men’s flyweight division capped off the Philippines’ best campaign in the Olympics as the country secured four medals in the Tokyo Summer Games.

The Philippines’ haul of one gold, two silvers, and one bronze is the country’s best output in Olympic history, surpassing the three-bronze record set in the 1932 Los Angeles Games.

Hidilyn Diaz, of course, highlighted the whole Tokyo journey as she captured the nation’s first gold medal when she triumphed in the women’s 55-kilogram weightlifting competition.

Paalam and teammate Nesthy Petecio’s silver medals were also the most runner-up finishes for the Philippines in the Olympics. Last but not the least Eumir Marcial settle for bronze.
