Fellow Olympians come to Lariba’s aid

Rio Olympics weightlifting silver medalist Hidilyn Diaz called on the Philippine sports community to help her fellow Olym-pian, table tennis player Ian “Yan-yan” Lariba, who was recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.

“Let’s face it we need money to help Yan-yan. Aside from our prayers, athletes should donate money for Yan-Yan’s medication. She is a good person and a fellow athlete, so the Athletes Commission will do something to help her,” Diaz told The Manila Times.
