00:00But we actually have an inspiring story that we want to share with you.
00:10The national team winners, Dhaneshan Govindarajan, want to forget the sad episode.
00:15The amateur goalkeeper in the first appearance at the Paralympics,
00:18when he was in action, was turned upside down by the rankings after being in the group of two dropped players
00:23and crossed the finish line in the 1-16 match against He Jihao.
00:28When the goal was not scored, Dhaneshan was knocked out by the White Flag
00:32instead of the trust that was placed on the beloved person.
00:35To continue the story, we are with a journalist from Paris, France.
00:42The goal field at the Paralympics in Paris, at the main venue, was invalid.
00:49It was like a nightmare for Dhaneshan when he failed to adjust himself to the strong wind.
00:57I am here with Dhaneshan.
00:59How did you adapt yourself to the wind and the right angle?
01:06We can't say anything about the wind.
01:10The wind did come.
01:12But our shooting was right.
01:15My shooting was right.
01:18My aiming was also right.
01:20After that, the wind pushed to the right.
01:24Most of the arrows went to the right.
01:27Because the wind went from the left to the right.
01:30Even my aiming was 9 o'clock, it went to 8 o'clock.
01:34At that time, I thought, it's okay, we can do it again.
01:37After that, I tried the other arrow.
01:40Indeed, it went there again.
01:42Like 7 o'clock.
01:43It was far away.
01:44That area.
01:45I thought, it's okay, we can do it again tomorrow.
01:48Today, we did our best.
01:52For me, the first set was okay.
01:55The second set, the wind was strong.
01:57I can't say anything about it.
01:59It's okay.
02:00Tomorrow, we will do our best again.
02:02Tomorrow.
02:03Sukan Memanah requires physical and mental strength.
02:09So, how did you manage to disturb Dhaneshan's performance or vice versa?
02:16The disturbance was the wind.
02:20Nothing else.
02:22My mental strength was also okay at that time.
02:25I didn't scream a lot.
02:27It's okay.
02:28At that time, I thought, everyone can do it.
02:31I can do it too.
02:32The desire to survive in the Paris Paralympics
02:36to make Dhaneshan perform an extraordinary performance.
02:40So, your personal side is prioritized for the Paris Paralympics?
02:46Yes, that's right.
02:48I rejected the marriage proposal first.
02:51Then, I thought of the Paris Paralympics.
02:53For me, the Paris Paralympics is also important.
02:56I can get married next year.
02:58No problem.
02:59The girl can wait.
03:00She also said, it's okay.
03:02We will get married next year.
03:04This year, I will do whatever I want.
03:07What did I think before?
03:09I only thought about what I wanted to do.
03:12I wanted to do my best in the Paris Paralympics.
03:14I didn't think too much.
03:16I went there and did my best.
03:18I didn't think about getting married.
03:21I can get married next year.
03:23No problem.
03:24She told me, when I went to Paris,
03:27she told me to think positively first.
03:31Don't think negatively.
03:33People say a lot.
03:35Don't think like that.
03:36Do your best there.
03:38Don't think too much.
03:40She also said, she wanted to win.
03:45I told her,
03:47there will be another chance tomorrow.
03:50Don't think too much.
03:52I will do my best tomorrow.
03:54For you and my mother.
03:56Congratulations, Danishan.
