00:00 The target of the Philippine weightlifting team

00:02 to compete in other countries this month

00:06 as part of their preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

00:09 This is what Bernadette Pinoy has to say.

00:11 Vanessa Sarno, Elrin Ando, and John Sineza,

00:18 three weightlifters who are far behind

00:20 Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Heidi Lin-Diaz

00:23 in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

00:26 They only got a slot in the Olympics this April

00:29 because of the IWF World Cup in Thailand.

00:33 That's why in May,

00:34 National Coach Christopher Boreros announced

00:37 that they plan to compete in other countries

00:39 that are likely to compete in the Chinese Taipei

00:41 before going to Paris this June.

00:44 When you train abroad,

00:45 you see other athletes

00:48 and you get to push them.

00:50 Unlike here, we're just us.

00:52 It's different when we train abroad.

00:55 Coach Boreros added that

00:57 he will also see what other things

01:00 should be taken into consideration

01:02 by the athletes to prepare for the tournament.

01:04 Aside from physical strength,

01:06 I always consider their mental health

01:10 as a silent aspect to win the battle.

01:14 I always tell them to stay focused,

01:17 have that fighting spirit,

01:19 and keep a growth mindset.

01:21 Boreros also added that

01:23 he is proud of the success

01:25 of the three Paris Olympic bounts

01:27 and asked for their support

01:29 for the upcoming Olympics.

01:31 I'm happy that they were able to enter

01:33 because that's what they wanted.

01:35 They were able to enter despite their difficulties.

01:39 I'm happy and blessed that

01:41 at the last, their final qualification,

01:45 they were able to get the ticket to Paris.
