Hidilyn Diaz makes headlines not just in the Philippines, but around the world

The historic gold medal feat of Hidilyn Diaz in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics made headlines not just in the Philippines, but all over the world.

On Tuesday, some of the biggest publications in the United States featured the Philippines' first Olympic gold.

"Weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz makes history, securing the first Olympic gold for the Philippines," the New York Times said in their headline.

Diaz' victory also landed in the websites of other broadsheets and magazines such as People, South China Morning Post, TIME Magazine, and The Washington Post.

Websites of TV stations and their shows also included the Philippines' historic achievement in their lineups.

Meanwhile, on Japanese media, it was a different Filipino athlete that grabbed their attention.

Margielyn Didal's smiles in the street skate competition captured the hearts of many Japanese fans, making websites such as the Huffington Post's Japan edition and NHK feature the Filipina skateboarder.

Diaz on Monday captured the gold medal after ruling the women's weightlifting 55 kg event. Didal, on the same day, finished 7th in the women's street skate finals.
