00:00 I think I'm one 99% to qualify to Olympic game because one one person I think I'm not
00:20 sure about another player I mean like supanita or Pompavie yeah but I try also yeah of course
00:27 like my ranking also not sitting and some tournament I faced with like the top top one
00:35 but sometimes even if I if I want to go I have to pass every round yeah.
00:42 Racha if you can enter the Olympic it's your fourth Olympic yeah but before three you didn't
00:50 get medal so did you wish to maybe get a medal from this year Olympic?
00:56 Yeah I think every player want to get want to get the medal for sure but yeah I cannot
01:05 say like next time I will like this time will be my experience or what because it's already
01:13 many many time already for me so it's like you have to face I mean I have to face my
01:19 feeling like when I know that every time I play I pressure but if I want to win I also
01:27 have to win myself first.
01:29 Because it's getting harder and harder right for you to win tournaments right?
01:32 Yes yes because I'm not sitting also.
01:35 You need to play a lot of better players higher ranking.
01:39 Before I mean before April I have to go many many tournaments first.
01:44 You haven't mentioned anything about your retirement right?
01:47 Do you have anything in your mind yet?
01:51 Because fourth Olympic is considered very a lot for you.
01:54 If you want to play for the fifth right you will be like a record.
02:00 No no not for record.
02:03 If for that time I think I cannot hope for the medal I mean the fifth time but this year
02:13 I think is my last hope.
02:17 I play badminton since when I was young so I think I will keep playing until I know that
02:24 it's enough for me.
02:26 I know my body, my performance so I know like if the young coming up so yeah maybe sometime
02:36 I will thinking again but maybe after Olympic in Paris I think I will continue but next
02:44 Olympic I don't think so.
02:47 Anything that you...
02:49 Calm down.
02:51 I still don't have any plan because my goal is still for the Olympic so maybe after that
02:57 I can planning and I talk with my parents or my coach or any people like can suggest
03:06 me to do like but I think I still allow the badminton I mean like maybe becoming the coach
03:15 or sometime like that.
03:17 It's also new experience for me if I have to be because I don't know even I can be world
03:27 champion or world junior like that because I cannot give what the feeling to the player
03:39 even sometime who did not be the world champion but still can be better than me.
03:45 I also don't know but also new experience for me like start from zero.
