00:00We didn't win the World Cup ball, but we won the World Cup bowling.
00:09The World Cup.
00:10That's right.
00:11The sensation of the country's women's bowling.
00:13Natasha Rose has arrived in Indonesia after making history
00:16by winning the World Cup for the first time for the Malaysian people.
00:21Her return was also accompanied by a men's team
00:23who also made history by winning the Men's Team event
00:26in the World Cup final in Hong Kong.
00:29Congratulations to them on landing safely in Petah Rabu
00:32which was welcomed by the citizens of MTBC
00:34and also the fans who wanted to stay closer to their heroes.
00:41When met with the representative of Nadi Arena, Zaki Zainal,
00:44Natasha expressed her gratitude and emotion
00:46for the full support of the Malaysian people who prayed for her.
00:49Natasha described this victory as the most meaningful moment
00:52in her career as a pusher to continue to make the country proud
00:55in the international arena.
00:57This journey is very meaningful because it was created
01:00after 53 years of this journey.
01:04It's still like a dream.
01:06But I know this is a good start to 2025 for me.
01:11And I will continue because this year we have the World Cup again
01:14and also the SEA Games.
01:16So I will make sure I will keep on working hard
01:19and make sure I give my best every time in the tournament.
01:23I think the format we play is difficult
01:26but it requires a lot of focus.
01:29But Alhamdulillah, as a one team, we proved that we can do it.
01:34In the tournament, Natasha emphasized that even though
01:36the winning scheme of the Syukan Syakam tournament was not won,
01:40it was not a big problem because for her,
01:42making a name in history has been the best achievement.
01:46I think the title is more important to me
01:49because it's not easy to create history.
01:52So to be able to create history is a victory for me.
01:57And if I win the Syakam tournament, it's a bonus.
02:02Rafiq Ismail, the national athlete, recorded a double win
02:05in his latest race when he won the team championship
02:08and the men's individual category.
02:11Despite facing emotional challenges due to his father's health condition,
02:14Rafiq still showed his determination.
02:17Rafiq expressed his gratitude for being able to present this achievement
02:20to his family and the country.
02:24So far, I feel happy because I'm back with the gold medal.
02:30Even though I was single, I got silver.
02:34But I can say that the disappointment was changed
02:39after winning the gold medal for the team event.
02:42Actually, on the second day of qualifying,
02:46I received a call from my mother saying that
02:49my father might have a heart attack at that time.
02:57So I just prayed.
03:01That's all I could do at that time.
03:04And I just focused on my game.
03:08But Alhamdulillah, everything went well.
03:12And after this, I will continue to meet my father.
03:18On that day, Rafiq's teammate, Timitan, admitted that
03:21the cut-off allowance from the previous management
03:24was a turning point for him.
03:26Timi got up with a new spirit
03:28and presented the gold medal at the IBF World Cup 2025.
03:31Timi described the experience as a wake-up call
03:34that encouraged him to continue working hard
03:36and give his best for the country in the international arena.
03:41Actually, the cut-off allowance is my own fault.
03:46I didn't perform well last year.
03:48So I cannot blame anyone except myself.
03:51And thank you to MTBC for giving me this chance
03:54to bowl at the World Cup.
03:55And let me prove myself again that I still can bowl
03:58and can win for the country.
04:00I didn't expect much actually.
04:02But everything is already written in the policy.
04:05So I just go with the flow.
04:07If they review it again, I will thank them.
04:11But for now, I just focus on what's in front of me.
