Mr. Phathiyuth Jaisawang, Acting Director-General of MCOT Public Company Limited, together with Mr. Nattaphong Phattaraphong, Assistant Director-General of Thai News Agency, and Mr. Suwit Sappha-udom, Assistant Director-General of Radio Office, welcomed the executives and weightlifting athletes of the Thai national team who will compete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, consisting of ‘Fang’ Thiraphong Silachai, Silver Medalist in Men’s Weightlifting, 61 kg category, ‘Wave’ Weerapol Wichuma, Silver Medalist in 73 kg category, ‘Oil’ Surajana Kambao, Bronze Medalist in 49 kg category, and ‘Som’ Duangaksorn Jaidee, who ranked 6th in the over 81 kg category, and the delegation traveled to thank the media of Thai News Agency, Channel 9 MCOT, for their continuous reporting of the news.
In addition, the four of them have participated in various MCOT programs, including the “Khui Zap Show” p
rogram, the “9th Stadium” program of the Thai News Agency sports news team, and the radio program of FM99 Active Radio.
During the interview on the 9th Stadium program, the 4 of them talked in a friendly and fun manner about various stories, including the background of their success, their likes, and their goals for the future. The cute side of the 4 of them, who may seem tough on the outside, but when they saw the dolls as a gift from Top-Sares Limkangwanmongkol, a former fencing athlete for the Thai national team and currently a sports reporter for Channel 9, the 4 of them became as happy as little children. We also got to hear Wave’s singing voice. As for whether it’s beautiful or off-key, we want everyone to follow the 9th Stadium program on Wednesday, August 21st at 10:30 p.m. on Channel 9 MCOT HD, press 30.
After the program, ‘Jao Wave’, representing weightlifters, thanked the Channel 9 media staff who had been following the news since before it was well-known until it received a medal. He felt very h
appy to be standing on Channel 9 today. He felt warm and honored and promised that in the next Olympics in 2028, he would win a gold medal as a gift for Thai people.
The activities of the four people from now on will continue to thank the supporters from both the government and private sectors, the media on all platforms, until the end of this month and will start to return to the training camp to prepare for the next tournament from September onwards.
