00:00 All set for the target medal, the first ever Filipino rower to qualify for the Olympics.

00:07 He is a true challenger and is looking forward to the victory of JP Soriano.

00:14 It seems that this rowing scull boat is the one that is challenging Giovanni Delgaco

00:23 as the first Filipino rowing qualifier in the Olympics.

00:28 Here in Lamesa Dam, he is training everyday with the Philippine Rowing Team.

00:33 With him is coach Edgardo Mayrina, the first Filipino Olympic rower to compete in the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

00:43 Their target is the Olympic medal.

00:45 Giovanni is the same in how he won the bronze, silver and gold in the South East Asian Games 2019 and 2021.

00:55 All of his medals are not even close.

00:58 But when he entered the top 4 in the World Rowing, Asian and Oceanan Qualification Regatta,

01:04 he also officially entered the Women's Single Sculls event in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

01:11 At the last 250 meters, I heard my teammates shouting, "Yes! Nice, Auntie Jo!"

01:21 I said, "Pa, I'm already in the Olympics." I cried.

01:25 That's just one of many things that Giovanni did that was not included in the national team

01:32 because of the previous high target for the 5'6" women rowers.

01:37 But Giovanni convinced coach Ed that he can try out.

01:43 I train myself almost everyday.

01:46 Even if I'm alone here, I still have no manner, I'll just medal.

01:52 The lower ones who have the willingness to train their heart,

01:57 they can achieve what they want.

02:00 But he continues to push through and strengthen his whole body.

02:12 And I proved that it's not a joke when I taught basic rowing to our two Olympian rowers.

02:20 Especially when I was in the water.

02:24 Rowing is very difficult.

02:32 You need skill and the right timing when you move your hands.

02:37 You can see the great sacrifice of our athletes to qualify for the Olympics.

02:43 It's normal to not get what you want on your first attempt.

02:47 We have to ask God for His will for us, for what time is right for us.

02:54 For GMA Integrated News, JP Soriano,

02:59 Tune in for 24 hours.

03:01 Shhh.
