00:00Although he managed to donate the gold medal in the long jump event, with a record of 7.46 meters,

00:06leaving the representative of the host at the end,

00:08country's long jump athlete Andrei Anura-Anuar still failed to find a faster run.

00:14The athlete's son, Ahmad Firdaus Salim, was banned from jumping in the first two attempts,

00:19and that was the moment for him to rise up and record a better jump.

00:23Andrei also ensured that the Malaysian gold in this event was maintained after Luqman Hakim won it last edition.

00:30Overall, I'm satisfied to keep the gold medal that was won by my senior, Luqman Hakim,

00:38which was two years ago if I'm not mistaken.

00:40But overall, if you look at it from the rider's point of view,

00:45it's a bit less impressive for me because suddenly on the day of the event, everything changed.

00:51During training, we had prepared very well, but until today, everything has changed.

00:58So I was hoping for a coach, but luckily there was Abang Dek who helped me a lot

01:07because my actual coach was not available for this event.

01:12So I talked to Abang Dek about how to do it,

01:16and in the fourth jump, I could feel my rhythm,

01:20and in the fifth jump, I could continue my jump.

01:25I mean in terms of rhythm, because before this, I had a lot of problems in terms of rhythm.

01:31Before this, if you look at the previous games, I failed a lot.

01:35And up until this game, I failed twice.

01:39So that's what I was afraid of, because I was afraid that I would fail all of them, so I retired.

01:46That's why in the fifth jump, I got my rhythm, luckily I got my rhythm, and I was able to retire.
