00:00 Can I do it?
00:02 If my mom said yes, I can do it.
00:09 And that will always be in my mind.
00:12 Edgar Xavier Marvello proved that the injury that forced him to enter the operating room
00:24 turned out not to be a barrier to his performance.
00:28 In the Wushu final of Chang Kwan class at the Xiaoshan Guali Sports Center, Guangzhou, China
00:34 on the 24th of September, Edgar managed to bring home the gold medal.
00:39 After the surgery, due to the back injury he had since 2017,
00:49 Edgar returned to the training center in China in early September.
00:54 He was doubtful of his ability due to the loss of training opportunities and his body was not fully recovered.
01:02 After the surgery, I came back here on the 11th of September.
01:22 I was doubtful.
01:24 Can I do it?
01:26 Because I was not fully prepared.
01:30 I only had 10 days left.
01:32 I was doubtful. I asked them.
01:34 Can I do it?
01:36 If my mom said yes, I can do it.
01:44 And that will always be in my mind.
01:47 If someone said yes, I can do it.
01:50 I can do it.
01:52 I will never let my opponent down.
01:54 After three months of training in China,
02:04 and a month later, I joined the World University Games,
02:08 and won the gold medal.
02:10 After that, I was injured.
02:12 And this injury is a barrier that is very scary for athletes.
02:17 When we are injured, we can't train, we can't prepare,
02:21 and we don't know when we will be ready again,
02:24 when we will be able to train normally again.
02:27 And what I can do is to continue to receive therapy,
02:31 to pray to be quickly recovered,
02:34 so that I can prepare myself well.
02:44 The first movement, the first jump, and the back flip.
02:48 Because in the back flip, during training,
02:51 I didn't try it because it was the most painful.
02:54 So, I did it right away during the match,
02:57 and the first jump.
02:59 For doubt, it's gone.
03:01 Because if we want to do it at the level of difficulty,
03:05 and we doubt it, it will have a bad impact.
03:08 So, just be more confident.
03:10 Because from the trainer, I'm sure I can do it.
03:13 [Music]
03:20 Maybe because of the adrenaline and everything,
03:22 with the euphoria, with the pain killer too,
03:25 it's all covered with the spirit.
03:29 [Music]
03:36 The saraph was pinched.
03:37 So, in L3, L4, and L5, the saraph was pinched.
03:40 So, the saraph was pinched quite badly.
03:44 And when it was injured,
03:47 I couldn't even walk, I could only lift my leg.
03:50 So, whether I want to or not,
03:52 it must be done by surgery.
03:55 [Music]
04:02 For pressure, no.
04:04 Because we fight individually.
04:06 We fight against ourselves.
04:08 So, when we were fighting,
04:11 we tried to focus on ourselves.
04:13 We don't want to see the opponent,
04:14 we don't want to hear the opponent's opinion.
04:16 So, we really focused on ourselves.
04:18 Until the last moment, when we had to enter,
04:21 we just saw the atmosphere,
04:23 and heard the atmosphere, that's all.
04:25 For the opponents, I'm sure they have their own strengths,
04:28 their own weaknesses.
04:30 I'm the same, so I'm sure,
04:32 whatever the judges' assessment is,
04:34 it's the best assessment.
04:36 So, I just focus on not failing,
04:39 and giving my best.
04:41 [Music]
04:48 Because I've been fighting, I hope for the whole Indonesian team,
04:51 whether it's the opponents or the other opponents,
04:53 to give their best performance too.
04:55 To give their best.
04:57 Nothing is impossible.
04:58 Believe in yourself.
05:00 Keep praying, and don't forget your family.
05:03 Because this competition,
05:06 can be said, it's a big competition.
05:09 Very big, and I'm sure,
05:11 it's very important for everyone.
05:13 [Music]
05:20 So, after this is over,
05:22 I will focus on the next competition.
05:24 So, what has been won,
05:26 I will go back to Nong,
05:28 to win what's ahead.
05:30 Next year, there will be World Combat Games,
05:33 in Saudi Arabia.
05:35 And in November, there will be World Championship,
05:37 in the United States.
