00:00FADEL ZONIS' SPONTANEOUS REACTION
00:06I'm looking forward to a far better competitor.
00:10That's Fadel Zonis' spontaneous reaction
00:12after the 1km individual race
00:16after only a 0.203 second difference
00:19to complete the podium.
00:22Instead, Fadel was eager to take back the gold medal
00:26and set an unprecedented national record.
00:31Fadel had a good record in the 1km individual race
00:34in Asia.
00:35With a 0.001 second difference,
00:38he took the podium in two editions,
00:402020 and 2022,
00:42after winning the gold medal in the 2003 edition
00:45at the National Velodrome.
00:46Last year, Fadel was forced to withdraw
00:49from the virus infection record at the end.
00:51So, back on the Asian stage,
00:53Fadel has a dream to return
00:55to the best of the best,
00:57but it's just a memory.
00:59Fadel finished the race with a 1.00896 second difference
01:05to Kyril Kurdidi from Kazakhstan.
01:09With a gold medal from Ryuto Ichida,
01:11not to be forgotten,
01:12at the Kiliu Sambar from China.
01:15Fadel's performance was no different
01:18when he finished the race
01:20at the National Camp,
01:22the 2003 gold medal,
01:23with a 0.00559 second difference
01:26two years ago.
01:54I think our preparation was really hard.
01:59That's all I can say.
02:00In the end, I lost to the better rider.
02:02It's not that different.
02:04The gap between me and the number one
02:07was too far.
02:09Maybe it's his tactics.
02:12Maybe he saw his condition this afternoon
02:14was a bit cold.
02:15Maybe his tactics,
02:17using the slope,
02:18maybe that's their way.
02:20I maintained with what I qualified for
02:22because I think that's the best thing.
02:24When I went up,
02:25I had the best feeling.
02:26That's all.
02:27I feel satisfied
02:28because I did my best.
02:29When I went down,
02:30I couldn't get up.
02:31I didn't have the feeling
02:33that maybe I wasn't good enough.
02:35When I went down,
02:36I did my best.
02:37I gave it my all.
02:38As they say,
02:39the more fun it is,
02:40the more we try
02:42instead of losing.
02:43We didn't do anything.
02:52We didn't do anything.
02:53We didn't do anything.
