00:05The support that was given to Tokyo,
00:10it's amazing.
00:13They gave so much support to the athletes.
00:16Thank you so much.
00:18I hope,
00:21I hope that everything will work out,
00:23because I came from nowhere.
00:28I think you need SNC,
00:31from the National Team, you really need SNC.
00:34Nutritionist, in terms of food,
00:36food is really important,
00:38because there is always a shortage of everything.
00:41And then,
00:44the training area,
00:46like the main gym,
00:48I hope that it will be a good country,
00:51because the athletes will be given units.
00:53Because I came from nowhere,
00:55when I started,
00:57I had a hard time.
00:58My fighting shoes,
00:59when I was in the National Team,
01:00I remember,
01:01my fighting shoes,
01:03my uniform,
01:04maybe only mine,
01:05my mouth guard,
01:06my brother bought it for me.
01:07But I am thankful that it came from there,
01:09because once you experience it,
01:11you really appreciate the small things,
01:14especially now,
01:15because I came from nowhere.
01:17So those things,
01:19it was like God gave it to me,
01:21that I will fix everything.
01:22He gave me everything,
01:23everything I really wanted,
01:25and I can still fix it.
