WEBVTT 00:00:13.523 --> 00:00:15.983 Ladies and gentlemen, 4 years ago at SEA Games 31, 00:00:16.343 --> 00:00:19.363 The British national team shone on the 800m race for the gold medal. 00:00:19.743 --> 00:00:22.203 However, compared to that glory, it is an unwanted event, 00:00:22.523 --> 00:00:25.223 creating a period of many challenges in the female athlete's career. 00:00:25.643 --> 00:00:27.403 From the peak to the days of suspension, 00:00:27.683 --> 00:00:29.603 from spring lights moving to everyday life, 00:00:29.963 --> 00:00:32.243 That journey must contain many emotions about the lesson. 00:00:32.403 --> 00:00:35.403 This week's sports perspective will listen to sincere sharing 00:00:35.403 --> 00:00:37.763 of the British national athlete about the journey he has gone through. 00:00:37.763 --> 00:00:44.403 At SEA Games 31, 4 years ago, 00:00:44.563 --> 00:00:47.543 She won a gold medal in the 800m race. 00:00:47.983 --> 00:00:50.183 However, the admiration incident was also a period of silence. 00:00:50.523 --> 00:00:53.443 Looking back at that event, what are your feelings at present? 00:00:54.389 --> 00:00:59.549 I have also experienced a lot of emotional levels in training and competition. 00:00:59.549 --> 00:01:02.129 As well as having many injuries 00:01:02.129 --> 00:01:06.949 So that gold medal has brought me a lot of emotions 00:01:06.949 --> 00:01:10.189 But it also makes myself go down a lot. 00:01:10.189 --> 00:01:12.609 During the time I was involved in duoping 00:01:12.609 --> 00:01:15.989 The quietest time in sports 00:01:15.989 --> 00:01:20.195 And it's also the most stressful pressure when I get the news that 00:01:20.195 --> 00:01:21.489 I'm exposed to duoping. 00:01:22.538 --> 00:01:26.183 Yes, the period of being suspended from competition was probably the most 00:01:26.183 --> 00:01:27.398 challenging period for her. 00:01:27.778 --> 00:01:30.238 So how did you get through those days? 00:01:31.044 --> 00:01:34.284 At those times, I don't dare to share with anyone 00:01:34.284 --> 00:01:36.424 Even the athletes around 00:01:36.424 --> 00:01:39.813 Because I only received classified information specifically for 00:01:39.813 --> 00:01:41.084 athletes who are 00:01:41.084 --> 00:01:44.104 And the athletes on the list, I don't know who they are either 00:01:44.104 --> 00:01:47.064 In the early days like that, I couldn't share with anyone. 00:01:47.064 --> 00:01:50.664 I myself have been very stressed 00:01:50.664 --> 00:01:53.484 And I want to stop everything 00:01:53.484 --> 00:01:56.384 I want to run away somewhere 00:01:56.384 --> 00:02:02.464 But there are coaches on the team who have encouraged 00:02:02.464 --> 00:02:06.284 And told me to wait for official news. 00:02:06.284 --> 00:02:10.644 Think negatively 00:02:10.644 --> 00:02:13.264 But don't let the official announcement be a little clear now 00:02:13.264 --> 00:02:15.484 But then received official notification 00:02:15.484 --> 00:02:18.684 Then I feel like I'm collapsing. 00:02:19.329 --> 00:02:23.334 Yes, as you have confided, you once thought about completely stopping with 00:02:23.334 --> 00:02:25.669 classical scriptures, so what made you helpless? 00:02:26.426 --> 00:02:32.768 During the time I was banned from competing, the leaders as well as the 00:02:32.768 --> 00:02:35.486 coaches of the Hanoi Football Club 00:02:35.486 --> 00:02:41.146 encouraged me and closely followed me during the days I stopped. 00:02:42.026 --> 00:02:48.206 From family to friends, as well as the most effort, it must be up to yourself. 00:02:48.206 --> 00:02:53.626 But when you collapse, you are the one who can revive it. 00:02:54.486 --> 00:02:55.726 People are also catalysts. 00:02:56.732 --> 00:03:01.672 Yes, during the probation period until November 2023, what did you learn that 00:03:01.672 --> 00:03:03.572 you had never realized before? 00:03:04.049 --> 00:03:12.003 I learned to restrain myself. Before that, I was usually a fairly strong 00:03:12.003 --> 00:03:20.569 athlete and I could call it fighting in every arena, I felt no fear. 00:03:21.249 --> 00:03:25.449 I just want to elevate myself and I have a very high ego. 00:03:25.449 --> 00:03:30.021 When I fell like that, I realized one thing is that I need to live slower 00:03:30.021 --> 00:03:31.449 and calmer, think thoroughly and... 00:03:34.083 --> 00:03:38.330 Yes, the decision to resign from the national team from the beginning of 2024 00:03:38.330 --> 00:03:39.543 is certainly not easy. 00:03:39.823 --> 00:03:42.223 So what did you consider most before making that decision? 00:03:43.404 --> 00:03:51.024 I felt that I wasn't really worthy of joining the national team at that time. 00:03:51.024 --> 00:03:55.024 Because I feel like I don't have enough ability to go back 00:03:55.024 --> 00:04:00.044 Showing everyone that over the years I have tried very hard 00:04:00.044 --> 00:04:06.384 But at that time everyone thought I had to use guerrillas to run like that. 00:04:06.384 --> 00:04:12.944 But actually, in 2018-2019 I set a congress record and a personal record 00:04:12.944 --> 00:04:18.606 Two years better than my achievements in all three SEA Games in Malaysia, 00:04:18.606 --> 00:04:20.784 Philippines as well as Vietnam 00:04:20.784 --> 00:04:26.531 Only those who have followed and those who coached directly watching me train 00:04:26.531 --> 00:04:29.184 and follow my process can understand. 00:04:29.184 --> 00:04:32.244 And I am under too much pressure from public opinion. 00:04:32.244 --> 00:04:37.396 So I decided not to focus on the national team so I could return to the 00:04:37.396 --> 00:04:38.684 locality to start over 00:04:39.652 --> 00:04:43.876 Yes, besides professional tournaments, I have also confided that I also 00:04:43.876 --> 00:04:45.412 participate in amateur tournaments. 00:04:45.712 --> 00:04:48.770 So when participating in those tournaments, what other emotions did you 00:04:48.770 --> 00:04:51.272 find compared to when you participated in professional tournaments? 00:04:51.757 --> 00:04:57.537 Then mass sports competition is a kind of like being an athlete 00:04:57.537 --> 00:05:00.117 Then I'm focusing on my work 00:05:00.117 --> 00:05:03.852 Then I go out, it's also something for me to find the 00:05:03.852 --> 00:05:05.097 feeling of competing again. 00:05:05.097 --> 00:05:10.337 Also find energy and relationships 00:05:10.337 --> 00:05:13.837 As well as having more financial income to help the family 00:05:14.643 --> 00:05:19.725 Yes, looking back, in the most difficult days, what role did family, friends and 00:05:19.725 --> 00:05:21.903 relatives play in helping you teach? 00:05:22.589 --> 00:05:26.029 I hid from my parents that I got looping 00:05:26.029 --> 00:05:27.829 Mom and Dad also work a lot. 00:05:27.829 --> 00:05:29.049 And also the people 00:05:29.049 --> 00:05:31.489 So don't learn anything about journalism 00:05:31.489 --> 00:05:32.909 I didn't even know I was like that 00:05:32.909 --> 00:05:35.869 I just confided in the coaches 00:05:35.869 --> 00:05:37.269 I didn't tell my parents 00:05:37.269 --> 00:05:39.649 It's time for me to concentrate 00:05:39.649 --> 00:05:41.629 After competing, I have to report it to my parents. 00:05:41.629 --> 00:05:43.669 I just want to try to overcome it myself 00:05:43.669 --> 00:05:45.609 Because my family is not 00:05:45.609 --> 00:05:47.369 A well-off family 00:05:47.369 --> 00:05:49.249 So I want to be myself 00:05:49.249 --> 00:05:50.429 I'm not affecting the family 00:05:50.429 --> 00:05:54.009 So it's just the coach, friends around 00:05:54.009 --> 00:05:55.829 Relatives have supported me 00:05:57.309 --> 00:06:00.378 Yes, temporarily putting aside professional stories and returning to 00:06:00.378 --> 00:06:04.129 everyday life, how has Phuong Anh's day started and ended now? 00:06:04.711 --> 00:06:08.371 Currently, I am still treating injuries and site hernias. 00:06:08.551 --> 00:06:14.409 So in my morning, in the morning I will go for back treatment and in the 00:06:14.409 --> 00:06:16.971 afternoon I will practice at the gym. 00:06:17.954 --> 00:06:22.199 Yes, besides the hobby of jogging, do you have another hobby about 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:23.614 relaxation and mental balance? 00:06:24.270 --> 00:06:28.530 I often travel alone when I don't have a boyfriend yet. 00:06:29.210 --> 00:06:35.210 But now my hobbies are free time, I just want to spend it with my loved ones. 00:06:36.375 --> 00:06:40.165 Yes, when participating in mass running events, she has the opportunity to 00:06:40.165 --> 00:06:42.375 interact more with the community of runners. 00:06:42.675 --> 00:06:44.975 So what did those meetings bring you? 00:06:45.594 --> 00:06:49.854 At the moment I collapsed the most, I got used to a running club. 00:06:49.854 --> 00:06:51.174 That's Liverpool club 00:06:51.174 --> 00:06:54.474 Everyone has helped me a lot 00:06:54.474 --> 00:06:57.814 From emotions to outside life 00:06:57.814 --> 00:06:59.314 Also shared a lot with me 00:06:59.314 --> 00:07:05.034 And I have relationships that I thought I would never have in my whole life 00:07:05.034 --> 00:07:10.014 You guys are very good and help me a lot in life 00:07:10.806 --> 00:07:14.492 Yes, so if I could choose 3 words to describe your current life, which would 00:07:14.492 --> 00:07:15.966 be the 3 words and why?
