Royal Irrigation Department, Prime Minister encourages "View Kulwut" to win the first gold medal at the 2024 Olympics, preparing to talk to the private sector to inject additional prize money. Prime Minister Settha Thavisin talked about the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France, where today (August 5) Thailand has a chance to win its first gold medal from "View-Kulwut Vitidsarn", a Thai male badminton singles player who advanced to the semi-finals to meet Viktor Axelsen, the world's number 2 from Denmark, who will compete today at 8:40 p.m. The Prime Minister said that he would like to give blessings and encouragement because before this, "View Kulwut" had defeated Qi Yuqi, the world's number 1 seed, and today it was a match against the world's number 2 seed. When asked about the government's injection of prize money, because the Badminton Association of Thailand has injected an unlimited amount, the Prime Minister smiled before saying that it was the association's business. But for himself, if he won a gol d medal and it was his first badminton medal, he thought that he would talk to some private companies about injecting prize money. Source: Thai News Agency
