Olympic Committee of Thailand (OCT) president Yuthasak Sasiprapha and Minister of Tourism and Sports Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul yesterday led a group of national athletes and officials for an audience with the premier at Government House. Prayut also urged the athletes to try their utmost and improve their personal bests but at the same time not to put themselves under too much pressure. "Earlier the national delegation signed messages of well wishes for His Majesty the King at the Sala Sahathai Samakom in the Grand Palace. I will wait for success in boxing and weightlifting since I have been told they offer medal prospects [for Thais]," the premier said. But you must not hope too much as you will end up putting pressure on yourself and performing below your best.
