00:32 Delgaco finished second from six,

00:36 in the Women's Single Skulls event with an 8 minutes and 18.30 seconds record.

00:41 She was also qualified for the next round,

00:43 the top rower, Shiho Yonekawa of Japan,

00:46 a third-placer wing-yong of Hong Kong.

00:49 She was leading from first 750 against Japan.

00:54 She said, "I'm going to go there," and she was just two steps ahead of Japan.

00:58 She said, "I'm just waiting for the third and fourth,"

01:03 "that's what I'm controlling."

01:05 I asked her, "Can you increase your performance?"

01:08 "Yes, of course," she said.

01:14 in Delgaco's entry to the medal round,

01:16 bronze or fourth place finish

01:18 is the most possible result of the last five-foot-five rower, Delgaco.

01:23 The top rowers of China, Uzbekistan and Japan

01:27 are the ones who can see Maireena

01:29 as a big challenge in their competition's podium dream.

01:33 It's really heavy strokes.

01:34 Don't let her pass you.

01:35 Because once you let her pass you,

01:37 one, two strokes, three strokes,

01:39 you'll be really exhausted if this is how the fight is.

01:42 So, if this is the final, it's really dramatic.

01:46 The fight is really over.

01:49 She just needs to be smart.

01:51 She can sustain her power from the start to the finish.
