00:00Meanwhile, back to the 400m race, Shireen Samson of Velovoi has put herself in her own cluster.
00:07Starting off well, from the start block, Shireen finished the race with a time of 52.45 seconds.
00:14Leaving the second challenger Nurul Alia Maisarah with a time of 57.18 seconds.
00:19Athlete from the Malaysian Army, Nurul Faizal Asmar, managed to cross the finish line with a time of 57.61 seconds.
00:27According to Shireen, although their performance is clearly on par,
00:30but she is confident that the young athlete who has improved will be able to promise a better performance
00:35if given the opportunity to participate in sufficient training.
00:42I did really want to run around 51 plus today to prep well for the Kazakhstan Open,
00:47but the race still felt strong and I'm still focused for the next meet and see what I can do there.
00:53Of course, when I come home, I'm running on my own most of the time,
00:57but I know all the ladies work really hard here as well, and they're all really young,
01:01so I'm sure there's a lot for future sports in Malaysia.
01:06According to her, even though the goal of making a 51-second record was not achieved,
01:11she believes this is her chance to prepare for the Kazakhstan Open,
01:17as well as win a spot in the 2020 Olympics.
01:22For the Olympics, of course, this is my goal for this year.
01:26This is what I'm training for.
01:28I have one more opportunity in Kazakhstan Open.
01:31It's either I qualify and merit 50-95, get my points up or ranking.
01:36At this point, I'm just trying to, all the hard work that I've put in, just see what I can go from there.
