00:03 Four months before the 2024 Paris Olympics,

00:06 we will talk to one of our guests here in Balitang Hali.

00:11 We have with us now, the Pinay Boxer of the Olympics, Nesty Pitesio.

00:14 Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

00:16 Good morning. Thank you for inviting me here.

00:21 Good morning to you too, Nesty.

00:23 How are you?

00:25 How does it feel to be in the 2024 Paris Olympics?

00:30 At this point, I'm really proud.

00:36 After the world, I still can't believe that I will play again in the Olympics.

00:42 Now, somehow, I thought that finally, I will be able to play again.

00:49 I feel so good and I'm so blessed that the Lord has given me the opportunity to play again in the Olympics.

00:58 I will show the world and bring the country to the Philippines.

01:02 That's great.

01:03 We really want to know,

01:05 please tell us about your preparations for the qualifying tournament in Italy last week.

01:12 Yes.

01:15 Actually, we didn't have a Christmas break or a New Year's break.

01:18 It was really a sacrifice.

01:21 We really invested for the first Olympic qualifier in Italy.

01:29 We trained abroad in Australia for almost a month.

01:35 Then in Spain, we also competed there for a month.

01:40 We played before the World Championship.

01:45 It was a huge sacrifice for us, not only for our dreams, but for our family and for the country.

01:53 You're already a veteran in the Olympics, Nesty.

01:56 You're a silver medalist in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

01:59 Is there pressure to win a medal again and to win gold here in Paris?

02:05 There's a lot of pressure.

02:06 Actually, when the Olympics is just around the corner,

02:10 even in the Asian Games, we had our first qualifier.

02:15 There's a lot of pressure.

02:17 I doubted myself if I could do it, if I still wanted to do it.

02:23 It's really there.

02:25 I won a medal in Tokyo last year.

02:29 I was already at the top of my career.

02:33 I already made it to the Olympics and won a medal.

02:36 I always ask myself if I can do it, if I still want to do it.

02:42 I always ask the Lord if I can do it, if he will give me a sign.

02:49 I'm so thankful because even though I doubted myself,

02:55 he never let me down.

02:57 He never made me feel that, especially when I'm getting old,

03:03 so the Lord is the one I always ask when I doubt myself if I can still do it.

03:09 Do you have other matches before the Olympics or is it just training?

03:14 We'll have more matches and more training abroad.

03:20 But I told my coaches, Sir Marcos Sec,

03:26 that I should rest first because I've been through a lot in the world.

03:34 I've fought in five matches, so I'm the one who's been through the most.

03:37 My body is really getting tired.

03:39 So I told them to focus on what I should develop first,

03:45 on strength, stamina, and speed.

03:48 That's what I want to happen first.

03:53 I should focus on training and what else I should develop.

03:56 And of course, you're avoiding injuries if you're still in the match.

04:00 What can you say to your athletes who are dreaming of going to the Olympics?

04:05 I want to tell my athletes that I'm so proud of you

04:10 because I know how hard it is for us to go through every day,

04:14 from waking up in the morning,

04:17 to sparring, especially the struggles we're going through.

04:22 Of course, we can't avoid it.

04:26 Sometimes, we have a Filipino athlete who's down,

04:29 but we're still fighting.

04:31 I'm so proud of you.

04:33 That's what I always tell my athletes.

04:35 I'm so proud of you.

04:37 I know you can do it.

04:41 I'll be waiting for you.

04:42 We'll go to Paris together.

04:44 I hope you'll have more qualifiers.

04:46 Thank you so much.

04:49 Thank you, Sir.

04:51 Thank you, 2024 Paris Olympics qualifier, Nesty Petetio.
