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.
