00:00We want to fly straight to the city of love, which is Paris,
00:09because we want to bring you the latest news about the Paralympics.
00:13Jonathan Wong Kargi passed away.
00:15The incident of losing a pair of shoes on the day of the competition
00:18was like a sign that fate was not on his side in Paris
00:21until he missed the bronze medal in the T12 jump.
00:24Kargi had no choice but to use the spare parts
00:28and it clearly affected his performance
00:30after he made a 6.85m jump.
00:34Kalunis has the following evidence.
00:38The country's desire to add weightlifters to the Paralympics
00:43was not met when Jonathan Wong Kargi passed away at the end
00:47after Argentine athlete Fernando Vasquez
00:51made a 6.88m jump in the 6th jump
00:55and finally crossed the gold medal line.
01:02With me is Kargi.
01:26I haven't processed yet, so I'm a bit sad,
01:29but I don't really feel it yet.
01:31But all I know in my mind is that I just want to jump further.
01:34I concentrate on my own jump.
01:36So I was hoping my last jump could be further,
01:39but unfortunately, just a little bit shorter.
01:43So yeah, it's an unfortunate event.
01:47And right after the event, what did you mention with the coach?
01:51Is it about the technique?
01:52Is it about the steps that you were taking this time around?
01:55What are lacking in your performance?
01:57Yeah, I think today I just didn't perform well.
02:01My speed was lacking also.
02:04Not so sure why.
02:05During training, it was much better.
02:08And yeah, I think just today, not the best body condition.
02:14And the other day, I took a look at the training near Stade de France.
02:18You were the different spike.
02:20Can you tell us what happened to the spike?
02:22Yeah.
02:23Unfortunately, I misplaced my spike somewhere after training.
02:27But luckily, I brought my spare spike.
02:30So thank God I brought my spare spike so I still can compete.
02:35Does it affect you much?
02:37Yeah.
02:38At first, I was quite frustrated trying to look for my spikes.
02:44But I guess once it's gone, it's gone.
02:46I did report to the lost and found.
02:49They are still searching for it.
02:51But yeah, good thing I still have my spare spike.
02:55And your message to the fans that support you and the rest of the athletics team?
03:01Thank you so much for always supporting us Malaysian athletes.
03:04Keep supporting us.
03:06And we love you.
03:08Thank you so much.
