00:00There's no such thing as a beautiful victory,
00:02as depicted by the world-renowned T20 jumper,
00:05Datuk Abdul Latif Romli, in his third appearance at the Paralympics.
00:08After being disappointed by chef Mark Reyes,
00:11he denied the gold medalist's mission.
00:14High hopes are rising to see Latif fly high.
00:17Unfortunately, the injury has once again stopped Latif
00:20and opened up space for the next challenge,
00:22to steal the women's title.
00:24For further developments, we are with reporter Carl Nunez in Paris.
00:29The Paralympic Games start in France.
00:32As you can see, the quality of the country
00:35has increased its gold medalists,
00:37as well as the gold medalists.
00:40It all started with the incident of 400m runner,
00:43Amar Ayman Nur Azmi,
00:45who was crossed at the last 10m
00:48and was forced to agree with the 4th division.
00:51Diso Suli, a country's long-distance jumper,
00:54Jonathan Wong Kagi,
00:56who was forced to give up his gold medalist title
00:59when his challenge put him down at the 6th jump,
01:02which was also the last jump.
01:04The same goes for Ziad Zoukaifly's scenario,
01:07hoping to regain his gold medalist title
01:10after losing it in the previous edition in Tokyo.
01:14However, in reality,
01:16Ziad was the second best jumper this time.
01:19Today, we once again witness
01:21one of the best jumpers in the last 5 years
01:25when Dato' Abdul Latif Romli was crossed
01:28for the first time since the 2019 World Championships.
01:31Without further ado,
01:33let's listen to Dato' Abdul Latif Romli's speech
01:37about his last jump in Paris since 2019.
01:48Dato' Abdul Latif Romli's Speech
01:50I was very nervous and excited
01:53because I was told that I was going to be the best jumper
01:57in Paris.
01:58A week before the Games,
02:00I did a full run-up training.
02:03I jumped 7.6m and 7.7m.
02:05I was confident to break the record.
02:08However, 3 weeks before the Games,
02:10I had to give up my gold medalist title.
02:13To be honest,
02:14I lost in the 2019 World Championships.
02:17It was an injury factor that bothered me.
02:21I couldn't give 100%.
02:23I told myself that it was okay.
02:25I told myself that if I fell,
02:28I would get back up again.
02:30It motivated me to be more motivated.
02:32I told myself that this was my motivation
02:35to go to Los Angeles or Sydney
02:39so that I could train harder.
02:43I told myself that if I didn't have this opportunity,
02:46I would do even better.
02:48Three days before the Games,
02:50I had a time-training session.
02:53I told myself that my lower back hurt a lot.
02:57I couldn't even run.
03:01I told myself that I would do my best.
03:04I told myself that I would do my best.
03:08I told myself that I would do my best.
03:13That's all for now.
