Nesthy Petecio in Olympic medal ceremony
Nesthy Petecio received her bronze medal for the women's boxing 57kg event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
She secured the bronze after falling short against Poland's Julia Szeremeta in the semifinals, guaranteeing her an Olympic medal.
This marks Petecio's second Olympic medal, following her silver in the Tokyo Olympics three years prior, making her the first Filipino boxer to achieve this feat.
Chinese Taipei's Lin Yu-Ting won gold, Szeremeta took silver, and Turkiye's Esra Yildiz Kahraman also secured a bronze medal.
The Philippines concluded its Paris 2024 campaign with two gold medals from Carlos Yulo in gymnastics and two bronze medals in boxing, one from Petecio and another from Aira Villegas.
Boxing is the Philippines' most successful Olympic sport, contributing ten of the country's eighteen total medals, though it still aims for its first Olympic gold medal.
