00:00We will now move on to Berbasikal.
00:03The national track and field champion, Shah Firdaus Sharom,
00:06was once again disappointed in the main stage
00:08when his right knee injury became one of the main factors
00:12in his failure to compete with the gold medalist in Pecoy.
00:16On the other hand, Shah Firdaus defended the Asian Championship gold medal
00:20which he won in the past edition in New Delhi, India
00:23and added to his personal third gold medal collection in Asia.
00:28Shah Firdaus, the Terminator,
00:30awaited the visit of the Asian champion in the National Velodrome
00:33with his physical condition not fully recovered.
00:35The knee injury forced Shah to come up with a different strategy
00:38at the end of the day,
00:39especially to face the Japanese champion, Shinji Nakano.
00:43When his physical condition was limited,
00:45Shah had to adjust to the change in the competition schedule
00:48at the end of the day,
00:49as well as face difficulties for himself.
00:54And suddenly, last minute, a few days before the competition,
00:57they changed the schedule.
00:58The sprints started first and then the carry-in on the weekdays.
01:02So the plan is, if the carry-in starts first,
01:06we can fall out in one day, right?
01:09And then whatever happens in the sprints,
01:11we can plan how far we want to go.
01:16But when the sprints start first,
01:20his concern is that his pain will carry to the carry-in.
01:29So now, how do I want to recover?
01:34I mean, how do I want to feel better with this injury?
01:41And so, Shah managed to complete his podium position
01:44after placing his brother Ridwan Saharum
01:47in the gangster competition.
01:49Shah, on the other hand,
01:50couldn't stop himself from proving himself
01:53as one of the world's best in his own arena.
02:01When we race with people who are under 10 seconds,
02:04it's tough.
02:05And in the quarter-finals,
02:07they beat one of the Chinese top sprinters.
02:11So I was a bit worried.
02:15But I know how to use the situation when I race with him.
02:22Because I also train with him.
02:24So he gave me a good fight.
02:26In the first round, he was surprised by my decision.
02:31Because he knew I had a problem.
02:34So he was surprised when I suddenly made that move.
02:39So it's okay.
02:41I'm proud of his performance.
02:44He's the best.
