MANILA, Philippines — Igagawad ang pinaka­ma­taas na parangal sa la­hat ng gold medallists sa 2018 Asian Games sa ga­ga­naping Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Annual Awards Night sa Pebrero 26 sa Manila Hotel.

Kikilalaning Athletes of the Year sina Hidilyn Diaz, Margielyn Didal, Yuka Sa­so, at ang women’s golf team nina Saso, Lois Kaye Go at Bianca Pagdanga­nan – ang mga atletang nag­bigay ng gintong me­dalya sa Pilipinas sa Indonesia Asian Games.

Pinagreynahan ni Diaz, ang Rio Olympics silver me­dallist, ang women’s -53kg event sa weighlifting, habang nagkampeon naman si Saso sa individual golf kasabay ng pagbuhat sa women’s team sa gold-medal finish sa team event.

Ito ang unang pagkaka­taon sa loob ng 10 taon na isang all-female recipient ang gagawaran ng Athlete of the Year honors.
