00:00Zaydatul Husnia Zulkifli once again went through an emotional rollercoaster
00:05after the status record of a 31-year-old 100-metre-tall country
00:08was classified as untrue.
00:10To this day, there is still no confirmation from the World Athletics Association
00:14that the Malaysian KOM athlete has given a guarantee.
00:17This scenario is like a déjà vu for Zaydatul
00:20who was once disappointed by the lack of history created in South Africa.
00:24In 2017, he was lucky with a technical problem.
00:27Let's follow Zaydatul's exclusive coverage with reporter Karl Nunez.
00:42Adik, not just once, but twice this happened.
00:46So, why was it so chaotic at the end of the week?
00:49I don't know. Maybe it was chaotic because there were so many media
00:54who were looking for me.
00:56I was so busy yesterday morning,
00:59so I didn't know about this hot issue.
01:06So, I was a bit shocked
01:09by the news about the national record that was not recognized.
01:15It was a bit heartbreaking because I didn't drive home
01:20because I had a talk at the event yesterday.
01:24It really touched my heart with the issue that was brought up yesterday.
01:29So, it happened again.
01:30Before this, I had broken the record of the GNT 11.45,
01:37but it was not recognized.
01:39For the country, we know that there is a new official world record.
01:44But on the other hand,
01:46it's hard to break the record.
01:49It's not easy to do it on time.
01:51Of course, I felt a bit frustrated
01:55because it's not easy to break the record
01:59and not be recognized as a new world record holder.
02:02So, I felt that my hard work paid off
02:06when I broke the national record.
02:09Because people didn't see it.
02:10People only saw it once.
02:13People didn't know that I had operated my knee before.
02:18So, it was a bit of a struggle to come back.
02:20It was a bit difficult for me to regain my running rhythm.
02:25They didn't know that.
02:27But I experienced it myself.
02:29When I operated my knee, I wanted to retire.
02:32Because I had operated my ACL.
02:35Usually, most athletes who have operated their ACL will retire.
02:39In my head, I said that I wanted to retire.
02:43If I couldn't finish it,
02:46of course, I would ask for help from anyone who could.
02:50I wanted to see it for myself.
02:53Because it didn't only affect me,
02:55but it also affected my career.
02:58When this happened again,
03:01it was like a dream.
03:04Seven years later, it happened again.
03:08It happened again because...
03:11I was consistent in Super Series in Sarawak.
03:18So, I repeated the 11th, 12th, and 15th.
03:22So, I didn't run as far as I did in the 11th and 14th.
03:24I ran as far as I could.
03:26So, I thought that maybe something was wrong.
03:29But this was the best performance that I did this year.
03:39I hope that this problem doesn't discourage you...
03:44or make you feel more comfortable as a younger sister.
03:48If we look at her achievements throughout 2024,
03:5211.49 seconds in Sarawak Super Series,
03:57it's an amazing achievement.
04:00And in the finals in Sarawak,
04:05her record was only 11.53 seconds.
