Santos dedicates bronze to father at Asian Games
Alberto Dello Santos, a 20-year-old Filipino, was honored with a bronze medal in weightlifting at the Asian Games in Nagoya 2026, following the death of his father and coach, Alvin, due to liver cancer last March. Santos was deeply affected by the loss of his father and used the sport of weightlifting, which brought them together, as a means to overcome his grief. He dedicated a picture of his father on the podium as a tribute to his memory. His victory came after he suffered an injury before the World Junior Championships in Egypt, but he managed to overcome it and ultimately secured the gold medal. His achievement reflects a strong family legacy in weightlifting, as both of his parents were members of the Filipino national team, and his sister Disa previously competed in the Asian Games.
