Proof of the Début theorem

I was reading the stochastic calculus notes on this website and I read the following in the proof of the Début theorem but I could not understand what does it mean. Can someone explain it to me rigorously? Why is this statement true?

We deal with continuous stochastic processes quite often (e.g. Brownian motion). The term continuous in here refers to having continuos paths, that is, a stochastic process $X=(X_t)$ is such that for fixed $\omega \in \Omega$ (where $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, P)$ is the corresponding probability space) a function (a path of $X_t$) $$ t \mapsto X_t(\omega)$$ is continuous.

Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem implies that every continuous function on a compact interval attains its bounds (supremum and infimum).

Therefore, the statement which you were not sure about holds via Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem. For more details you can also see Prove that a continuous function on a closed interval attains a maximum.
