Not letting go: Erry Hidayat holding on to his medal in his sleep.
ERRY Hidayat has followed in his father’s footsteps as a Commonwealth Games medal winner by lifting a silver in the men’s 73kg weightlifting competition in Birmingham.
He was only one year old when his father Hidayat Hamidon ended the nation’s 48-year wait for gold by winning the men’s 69kg clean and jerk category at the 1998 edition in Kuala Lumpur and went on to win two more silvers and one bronze at the 2002 Manchester and 2006 Melbourne edition before quitting.
