Since this historic achievement, fans have rallied behind her on Facebook and Instagram with their overflowing support and recognition for the Filipina weightlifter. With these, the four-time Olympian is currently the most-mentioned athlete on Facebook and the third most-mentioned on Instagram across the globe over the past 24 hours.
