Three days after competing in the Asian Weightlifting Championships in South Korea, Lovely Inan, together with the rest of the Philippine weightlifting team, went straight to Phnom Penh, Cambodia to compete in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games.
'Pagod po ,' this was Inan's reply to The Manila Times when asked how her body has been after back-to-back competitions.'Nahihilo pa po ako nung naglaro kasi pagdating po namin dito ng 11, kinabukasan nagpahinga na po ako then after nun laro ko na po agad kaya parang pagod na pagod pa po yung katawan ko.''I'm feeling dizzy when I was competing because we arrived here on the 11th.
That's why it means a lot for the 18-year-old Inan to finally collect a different type of metal, a silver one, on May 13 when she stepped on the podium of the Southeast Asians' best lifters of her division.'Masaya po kasi 'di naman namin ini expect na silver. Ang ini-expect lang po talaga namin ay bronze lang talaga,' said Inan, an 11th Grader from Angono National High School.'Sobrang special po. Kasi dati po nangangalakal lang ako and ngayon silver medalist na po.
