00:00The following is an excerpt from an interview with Carl Nunez.

00:08The nation's hero, Jonathan Wong, is back in the Olympics for the second time,

00:13with his own mission.

00:15After his first appearance at the Rio Olympics in 2016,

00:19Jonathan, who will appear in the 2024 Air Pistol event,

00:23will leave a sweet memory.

00:26The following is an excerpt from an interview with Carl Nunez.

00:35I would say this is the best achievement.

00:37But of course, I'm looking forward to the next one,

00:40to break even higher his record.

00:47Before Paris Qualifying, I discussed with the coach.

00:50My intention was actually, maybe we have reached the end,

00:54because in life, we have things to focus on.

00:56I have my career to focus on and all that.

00:58So he told me, if I wanted to move on, I would.

01:02I wasn't really prepared for it.

01:04I wanted, but I wasn't prepared.

01:12When I chose to go to university,

01:15I enrolled in aerospace because I feel like it's a challenge.

01:21Just like when I joined Meningbak, it was a challenge.

01:25A challenge to make me be a better me.

01:34That's why I enrolled in aerospace,

01:37because it was not an easy course for me.

01:40And at the same time, I moved to aerospace

01:43because of physics and all that.

01:47If you ask me, how does it divert my expertise in aerospace and shooting,

01:53I would say it's more towards how I overcome the challenge.

01:57How I actually see challenge as something that can attract my interest,

02:02to do the best.

02:06We are prepared in terms of physical,

02:08because although people like to shoot,

02:11the physical importance may not be important to them.

02:16But for me, because I compete in that, I know what is required.

02:21So for me, the physical is very important.

02:24For me, it encompasses all aspects.

02:27Because I would say mental and physical is related.

02:30If we are tired, we will be tired mentally.

02:32If we are tired mentally, physically,

02:34even if we can, how far can we go?

02:36Because it's actually the mind and body working together.
