00:00 His goal is to reach the top of the world rankings.
00:04 He has competed in various international competitions.
00:07 The Filipino fencer, Noelito Jose Jr. last year had a difficult finish.
00:13 Jose is determined to get his coveted spot in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
00:20 This is what Daryl Oclares of PTV Sports has to say.
00:25 The determination of the Filipino fencer, Noelito Jose Jr., is still there.
00:30 He is determined to get his spot in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
00:35 In fact, he has joined the Samut Saring competition to reach his dream of being the country's delegate in the biggest sports event this year.
00:46 Before the end of 2023, the 26-year-old fencer competed in two World Cup fencing tournaments in Bern, Switzerland in November and in Vancouver, Canada in December.
00:58 Despite his poor finish, Jose is still positive about his campaign this year.
01:04 I was always sad because I always lost. But it's okay because the winners have gone through a lot of losses before they reach the podium finishes.
01:20 I should be patient because I've only started competing in the World Cup this year.
01:28 Before, I only competed in the Asian Championships and World Championships twice. Unlike my opponents, there are World Cups and Grand Prix every month.
01:38 There are more competitions. I shouldn't rush if I want to reach the top.
01:45 If he can't make it to the top 32 of the World Rankings, there's a chance that Jose will leave his spot in the Olympics.
01:52 He will be competing in the Asian and Oceania Qualifying Tournament this April in the United Arab Emirates.
01:58 If I don't reach the points, that's the wild card in April. That's the most important thing.
02:04 Even if I only get the 4 or 5 World Cup and Grand Prix, unless I reach the podium finish in the 4 World Cups, I might be better than the wild card.
02:16 If I reach the top in the Asian Olympic Qualifying, I can still enter the tournament. That's my aim.
02:25 I will try to raise funds again or help anyone to train abroad.
02:33 Jose has a call to help him become an insider abroad.
02:39 I will ask for help from anyone who can support me in training. I will do my best to achieve my Olympic dream.
02:54 This is not just for me, but for the whole Philippines.
