Never give a match up halfway through. Never say that you do not feel up to it, that your condition is bad, and throw in the towel. Fight to the very end, always looking for your chance to break through.

It was actually just a background shot.  They weren't even talking about that incident.  They were just saying teams are urged on by their drummer with a steersperson steering the boat.
