00:00Preparations have been fantastic. The last leg of the preparations was in Europe.
00:06We were on the border of Germany and France. We spent nearly 12 days there, in the campus there.
00:12And we also had, incidentally, we also had the boxing team there, Indian boxing team and PV Sindhu there.
00:19Neeraj was also there, but he left before we came in.
00:23So, really good preparation there, with different sparring partners from different countries.
00:29And now, we came into the village, I think, we came in on the 21st of July.
00:35So, getting nearly 6-7 days before our matches start, to understand the venue, the balls, the tables.
00:43Of course, we've been practicing with the same things, over the last so many years, so many weeks.
00:49Now again, in the actual match arena, how the ball feels and everything.
00:56We're trying to acclimatize to that.
00:58And of course, the village is another place also, we need to get used to the transport, the dining, the rooms, all of that.
01:06So, we're pretty much, everything in control at the moment.
01:09We'll have another training session today. We have the draw that's coming up today at 5pm, local time.
01:15So, then we'll know when exactly we're playing against whom.
01:19I have put all in, in this Olympic Games.
01:23So, I've put all my energy, mentally, physically, all possible ways into this Olympic Games.
01:29And a lot into the team events that will start off on the 5th of August.
01:35So, I hope, I really hope, I've done my preparation well, I'm in really good shape.
01:41Practice sessions have been very good.
01:44Sparring with other players also, I can literally see I'm playing really well.
01:49So, all this has to just translate on the table during the competition.
01:53And I'm pretty much confident about the team doing well because all of us have been doing extremely well in the recent years.
02:00The girls also have been, in fact, they've been doing better than us in the last few months.
02:06So, hopefully, when we do well, we start off on the team events.
02:13With a win in the first match.
02:15And then from there, every match is going to be different.
02:18Of course, also, the quarter-finals at the Olympic Games will be the first time for Indian table tennis.
02:24And that we hope to do it.
02:26From table tennis, even one is going to be an outside chance.
02:32But, of course, we are going to play to get those medals.
02:37Of course, we're going to try everything possible to get those medals.
02:40And we'll be really happy even if we get one in the game.
