As the Philippines marks its 100th year of participating in the Olympics, all eyes will be on the 22 athletes representing the country in the Paris Games. The nation holds high hopes for Team Philippines to surpass their historic performance at the Tokyo Olympics, where they secured their first-ever gold medal thanks to weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, along with boxing medals from Nesthy Petecio (silver), Carlo Paalam (silver), and Eumir Marcial (bronze).

Although Hidilyn Diaz missed this year’s Olympic cut, the boxing trio returns, leading the largest Philippine delegation to the Summer Games in over three decades. Other notable athletes include pole vaulter EJ Obiena, gymnast Carlos Yulo, golfer Bianca Pagdanganan, and judoka Kiyomi Watanabe.
