00:17 My name is Martin Ovier.

00:20 of the Battle of Indramuros
00:22 between Letran and Mapua.
00:24 Mapua coming out on top 69 to 66.
00:26 Again, reintroducing myself.
00:28 My name is Martin Ovier.
00:29 I just covered that game, but of course,

00:34 next, not courtside reporter anymore,

01:28 (speaking in foreign language)
01:32 - Yeah, that's great news.
01:49 I wanna start with Alex first
01:50 because I got to talk to Alex, a one-on-one interview.
01:53 She's based now in Spain,
01:55 and (speaking in foreign language)
01:58 Asian Games.
01:58 She took home two bronze medals,
02:00 one in mixed doubles, one in the singles category.
02:04 (speaking in foreign language)
02:05 It was a singles division.
02:06 It was actually a big moment for her
02:08 because she was facing a top 25 player in Zhengqin Wen
02:13 who consistently, who is coming off a great campaign
02:17 in the US Open, beat a top five player
02:20 in (speaking in foreign language)
02:24 - And such a young age,
02:26 (speaking in foreign language)
02:27 well-achieved, showing really the fierce women in sports.
02:30 (speaking in foreign language)
02:34 - Let's go to another woman.
02:37 I'm very excited for this.
02:38 (speaking in foreign language)
02:39 - It's not just a year for women,
02:41 but it was just a week.
02:42 (speaking in foreign language)
02:46 15 years old, (speaking in foreign language)
02:48 she's a world table tennis youth contender
02:51 (speaking in foreign language)
02:55 - Wow, congratulations.
03:06 (speaking in foreign language)
03:07 Just 15.
03:09 - Yes, 15 years old.
03:09 (speaking in foreign language)
03:10 - Okay, bright future ahead.
03:13 (speaking in foreign language)
03:14 We are well-represented in women's sports,
03:17 and I'm pretty sure we will continue to achieve
03:20 on the international stage and on the world stage.
03:23 (speaking in foreign language)
03:24 Speaking of the world stage,
03:26 (speaking in foreign language)
03:27 Jiu-Jitsu.
03:28 (speaking in foreign language)
03:30 - Go ahead.
03:31 (speaking in foreign language)
03:35 - But for this time,
03:38 (speaking in foreign language)
03:39 25 years old, (speaking in foreign language)
03:42 gold medal, the 2023 World Combat Games

03:49 As what you mentioned,
03:50 so Jiu-Jitsu women below 52 kilograms event.
03:54 (speaking in foreign language)
03:58 (speaking in foreign language)
04:08 We gotta zoom in on Jiu-Jitsu.
04:10 (speaking in foreign language)
04:15 (speaking in foreign language)
04:18 But again, women representatives
04:20 in the sport of Jiu-Jitsu continue to excel.
04:23 And I believe we have one more,
04:25 and it's one of my favorite sports right now.
04:28 Well, Formula One is my favorite,
04:32 but she competes in F1 Academy.
04:34 (speaking in foreign language)
04:37 (speaking in foreign language)
04:41 Has become the newest addition
04:43 to the McLaren Driver Development Program.
04:46 18 years old now, Martin,
04:48 but Bianca is making history.
04:50 (speaking in foreign language)
04:54 - Oh yeah.
04:59 (speaking in foreign language)
05:00 - Because Bianca will represent McLaren
05:02 on the 2024 Formula One Academy grid.
05:05 And she is set to drive, of course,
05:08 at the Art Grand Prix in the all-women junior
05:11 formula category.
05:13 (speaking in foreign language)
05:16 - That's right.
05:25 I wanna emphasize on the resilience of Bianca Bustamante.
05:29 (speaking in foreign language)
05:30 I was able to interview her a few weeks ago.
05:34 (speaking in foreign language)
05:39 (speaking in foreign language)
05:40 But for her to get to this level,
05:42 McLaren is a very prestigious, again,
05:44 company, as you mentioned.
05:45 She's coming off Prema Racing,
05:47 which is, of course, a subsidiary of Ferrari.
05:50 Now, to McLaren, she's gonna be the top driver there
05:53 in F1 Academy.
05:54 Congratulations to Miss Bianca Bustamante,
05:57 and of course, to the rest of our women athletes.
