With her gold medal from 2020 and silver from 2016, she joins Teofilo Yldefonso (2 bronze medals in swimming 1928 and 1932) as the only Filipino athletes to win two Olympic medals.

It didn’t count for a medal, but  also won the women’s individual event in Bowling when it appeared as a demonstration sport in 1988. Source: http://www.olympedia.org/results/900492

First time watching a full competition of weightlifting and it was actually lots of fun.  Very strategic.  Full of emotion.
