A shoulder injury led Filipino weightlifter John Ceniza to exit early from his Paris Olympics debut, the Olympian bared.

It's an early exit for weightlifter John Ceniza in the Paris Olympics.

Hidilyn Diaz is expected to be here during the Paris Games weightlifting competition, and her mere presence would surely be an added boost and inspiration to the Philippine bets.

If the rankings are the best indicators of the athletes’ chances of snaring a medal in the Paris Olympics, then Vanessa Sarno and John Ceniza should have the strongest chance among the three Philippine weightlifting bets to pull off a podium finish in the French capital.

John Febuar Ceniza booked a ticket to his first Olympics back in April, when he had a strong finish in the International Weightlifting Federation World Cup in Thailand.
