00:00Muhammad Zohri's determination to pass the time limit of less than 10 seconds in the 100-meter run is not a joke.
00:09In addition to training intensively at the Madia Stadium, Sunayan, Jakarta,
00:13the Indonesian sprinter also studied in the United States and participated in competitions in Japan and Taiwan.
00:21Although not yet close to his best time record,
00:25Zohri showed progress when he was the fastest at the ASEAN University Games 2024 with a time record of 10.19 seconds.
00:35This made coach Eni Nuraini believe Zohri was on the right track.
00:41With full confidence, he continued to organize training programs so that the 24-year-old man
00:47could achieve his best performance at the Olympia de Paris later.
00:52He was close to his dream when he appeared at the 2019 Golden Grand Prix in Osaka.
00:59By setting a time record of 10.03 seconds, which became a national record,
01:06he made himself believe he could run faster.
01:11Unfortunately, the injury he suffered shortly after rejected his dream.
01:17It's a challenge for me.
01:19I've been running under 10 since 2019.
01:23But because of the injury, it hasn't been fulfilled yet.
01:30That's why I'm still chasing how to make it happen.
01:35Thank God, the last time in the US was not so good.
01:42But when I went to Japan, it was better.
01:45The last time in Taiwan was also better.
01:50Zohri's motivation increased as he got a chance to appear at the 2024 Olympia de Paris,
01:57which will be held from July 26 to August 11.
02:01The sprinter from Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, did not want to miss the opportunity.
02:07With all the preparation and struggle,
02:10he hopes to make history as the first Asian sprinter to run under 10 seconds.
02:17Not only a personal dream, but also the pride of the nation.
