00:005 out of 5 in individual events that you accomplished your goal, what can you say?

00:29I'm happy with my time in the first few days. It's not like super bad, it's just that it's not within my expectations.

00:44Josh, did you expect to reach 5 goals?

00:48Actually, I expected to reach 5 goals, but what I'm really aiming for is the records.

00:56How does it feel to be back in the Philippines after 5 years?

01:01I'm happy to be back in Palau because it's the first time I've been to Palau back in 2018.

01:06It's the first time I've been to Palau and it's the most fun I've had.

01:16Overall, what's your assessment of your performance in the individual events in the Philippines?

01:20So far, I'm happy. I think this year, this is my best competition so far, so I'm happy.

01:29After this, what's next for you? Are you going to continue painting?

01:36Next month, I have a CH qualification, so that's what I'm aiming for.

01:41And then after that, around early September, I'm going to go to the Philippines.

01:46Coming into this event, obviously you're a favorite to win.

01:50How do you prepare mentally so that you don't quote-unquote choke in this event?

01:56As I grow up, the most I've learned is to not care about other people's expectations.

02:06Instead, I care about my own expectations and goals.

02:12Because at the end of the day, that's what really matters, how you're going to do it.
