00:00 Despite the trials in life,
00:03 the two other Pinoy weightlifting qualifiers in 2024 Paris Olympics
00:06 are determined and focused on their training.
00:12 JP Soriano will focus on their emotional journey.
00:16 I don't understand what others are doing.
00:29 I'm still weak.
00:31 That's why I qualified.
00:34 In their training,
00:38 I got to know Vanessa Sarno and John Febuar Seniza,
00:43 weightlifting qualifiers in 2024 Paris Olympics.
00:47 Literally, heavy.
00:51 The first thing I understood in the history of weightlifting
00:54 is that you have to be strong.
00:56 Heavy is the first thing I understood in this story.
01:00 For snatch,
01:03 they taught me the correct position of my hands,
01:06 fingers, and correct grip on the bars
01:09 until the correct position of my chest and back.
01:14 So...
01:16 There. Okay.
01:19 Is it right?
01:27 I'll pass your hand because we're going to the Olympics.
01:33 Think of our Olympians as superheroes.
01:42 20 years after Vanessa's birth,
01:45 she broke the 108 kg Philippine record
01:49 that she holds to lift 110 kg in the snatch category.
01:54 But in our story,
01:56 I understood that like many of us,
01:59 you have to overcome your own doubts.
02:03 I'm still weak.
02:05 Even though I qualified,
02:08 there are still many things that need to be improved.
02:10 That's my target to strengthen.
02:13 Inspiring to those who love life.
02:18 Ma, I want to thank you for all your sacrifices for us.
02:23 I hope you know that I dedicate this game for you.
02:29 The February 2020 Carcar Cebu
02:33 was also in full swing
02:35 after qualifying for the Olympics and placing 4th in the Weightlifting World Cup.
02:40 But what she didn't show was the injury she was suffering.
02:45 I didn't think about the injury.
02:47 I just put it aside.
02:48 I was thinking about the goal
02:52 to go to the Paris Olympics.
02:58 She also said that she's tired of the hard work.
03:02 She sells bread to my grandmother.
03:05 She climbs trees.
03:07 She picks up wood from the middle of the forest.
03:11 Even though she looks strong now,
03:14 it's because of her sister,
03:16 friends, and other angels in life
03:20 that she was able to join the Weightlifting National Team.
03:24 But when it comes to the journey before qualifying,
03:29 February gave strength.
03:31 I don't understand why it's different.
03:35 Because all the faces look different.
03:44 They thought it was easy.
03:48 February still has minor injuries.
03:52 Vanessa still has muscle sprain,
03:55 but like their therapy,
03:57 they're still in the process of recovery.
04:01 They're still in the process of recovery
04:05 until they're back to their old condition.
04:07 In the end, what I learned is not only strength,
04:12 but also the disposition to fight the challenges.
