PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial joins Samahang Weightlifting ng Pilipinas President Monico Puentevella in a two-part session of the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum online edition today.
Marcial will give an update on the league’s plan to have a late May or an early June opener for its 46th season.
Puentevella discuss the bid of Hidilyn Diaz to go all out for the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics. The 30-year-old Filipina will be making her fourth Olympic appearance five years after bagging the silver medal in the 2016 Rio De Janeiro Games.
Puentevella, also a former PSC commissioner, is also expected to talk about the bright future of the sport in the wake of the Filipino lifters’ successful campaign in the recent Asian Weightlifting Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan led by Vanessa Sarno (two gold medals, one silver), Erleen Ando (three silvers), and Mary Flor Diaz (three silvers).
