00:00After winning the gold medal in the World Taekwondo Junior Championships in South Korea,
00:06the Filipino Jien Taichana Manjin shared his plans for next year's competitions.
00:13Let's find out what this is all about in the story of Daryl Oclares.
00:20This year was a success for the Junior Filipino Taekwondo player, Taki Anamangin.
00:27As you may remember, last October, 17-year-old Pinay Jien won the gold medal in the women's minus 49kg class
00:36of the World Taekwondo Junior Championships in Chuncheon, South Korea.
00:41In 2025, Mangin plans to continue his good momentum so that he can prepare for the upcoming competitions.
00:49This year, I'm already a senior, which means I'm already 18 years old.
00:53We have the World Championship at the senior level and the SEA Games in Thailand.
00:59That's what I'm preparing for next year.
01:01Hopefully, I'll still be able to represent the Philippines.
01:04Aside from the SEA Games and the World Championship,
01:07Mangin also dreams of playing in the biggest tournament in the world.
01:13Of course, my goal is the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
01:19Hopefully, I'll be able to get a ticket there.
01:22This year, I lost in the Asian Olympic Qualification in the semis,
01:28which is one ticket away to go to the Paris Olympics.
