Ibinahagi ng Filipino boxer na si Eumir Marcial na dalawang linggo bago ang aktuwal na laban sa Paris Olympics 2024 ay nagkaroon siya ng injury, na labis daw na nakaapekto sa kaniyang mental strength at overall performance.

Bahagi ito ng kaniyang Facebook post ngayong araw ng Miyerkules, Hulyo 31, matapos matalo ng katunggaling si Turabek Khabibullaev ng Uzbekistan via unanimous decision.

"Not many people know but behind the scene, I sustained an injury two weeks leading up to this match that prevented me to move and do my usual training, which also affected my mental strength and overall performance," aniya.

"But no regrets still, I know God has a bigger purpose for this loss. I may not understand it now but I need to trust that it was God’s protection to keep me safe from any further potential injury."

Tatay kay Karl Eldrew: 'Tahimik mong ipanalo mga pangarap mo, dito kami ng Mama mo!'

Sa kabilang banda ay nagpasalamat pa rin si Marcial sa lahat ng mga taong tumulong, naniwala, at sumuporta sa kaniya. Naniniwala siyang hindi pa raw dito nagtatapos ang kaniyang boxing journey.

"I gave my all in that ring and regardless of the result, I am deeply grateful to all of the Filipinos who believed in me and supported me. I’m so proud to have been able to represent our country once again here at the Olympics. Thank you for all your prayers and words of encouragement."

"This is not the end of my journey," aniya pa.
