Prince Says Brunei Athletes Should Do Best To Win

Bandar Seri Begawan - His Royal Highness Prince Haji Sufri Bolkiah, President of the Brunei Darussalam National Olympic Council, has stressed that Brunei athletes should not simply think of easy winning.

“They should fight to their best to win against their opponents, no matter who they are, whether they are world champions or of world ranking,” he said.

His Royal Highness made the speech at the 22nd SEA Games post mortem meeting with members of the Brunei Darussalam National Olympic Council and officers from the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in Berakas yesterday.

The Prince said, every athlete of other participating country has improved with high standards and so Brunei athletes should catch up and continue to put up a strong challenge to win, no matter what it takes.

The managers of the events presented brief reports of their team's achievement at the meeting.

Most of the teams had shown good progress and improvement.

They said the athletes should be well-trained and be more exposed to make them really qualified to compete at the international level.

The team managers also expressed their gratitude to his royal highness for attending the meeting and for supporting the national athletes competing in the games in Vietnam.

The meeting was to re-evaluate the country's achievements and to discuss ways to improve the performance of the Brunei athletes. -- Courtesy of Radio Television Brunei
