I know that most people probably don't care much about women's weight lifting in the Olympics and normally its not something I would even pay attention to, but with my wife being Filipino I thought this was very cool.
Philippines wins first ever Olympic Gold Medal after over 100 years of trying
In addition in doing this they kept China from sweeping the weight lifting events
also the Philippines only sent 19 athletes to these games, for a bit of contrast Russia sent over 300 and I believe China was close to 400 and the US is over 600
