00:00 (LAND OF LEGENDS)
00:02 (JURORS' CATEGORY)
00:05 With a spectacular performance
00:07 at the World Aquatic Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.
00:11 Rodic, it's not the main choice to get a slot
00:13 to participate in the Olympic Games.
00:14 It's a surprise for the national team
00:16 when it's through a more experienced teammate
00:19 to get a spot to go to Paris.
00:21 (RODIC, JURORS' CATEGORY)
00:23 A former national jumper who has also been in five Olympic Games
00:27 and a national jumping athlete, Dato' Leong Man Yee,
00:30 who has been active for 18 years.
00:32 He is indeed worthy of the title
00:34 with his hard work.
00:36 I think the focus after this
00:38 for the national jump camp is to prepare
00:40 to fight in the Asian Games next September.
00:43 The performance was really outstanding.
00:46 And the semifinals were consistent.
00:49 So, the semifinals were number 10.
00:54 The top 12 qualified for the Olympics.
00:56 So, Rodic is worthy.
00:59 He still has a huge improvement.
01:02 He can still go further
01:04 because his degree of difficulty can still improve.
01:07 And then, his quality of dive
01:09 is just that his degree of difficulty is less
01:12 compared to the divers overseas.
01:16 This time, Dabita had a slight injury to his wrist.
01:21 So, he didn't compete in 10m synchronized with Dato' Pantalella.
01:26 Dabita did well in the prelims.
01:30 But in the semifinals, he had a slight dive error.
01:35 So, he dropped in the ranking.
01:37 Dato' Pantalella...
01:39 This time, the training camp in China
01:44 was not healthy.
01:45 Because I didn't go.
01:46 I heard from other coaches that he had
01:50 an allergic reaction to the body.
01:53 He was in a poor condition.
01:57 There was still a World Championship in Toha.
02:00 So, that was the last qualification.
02:04 That time, the individual was in the top 18.
02:08 In synchronized, it was in the top 7.
02:10 (WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP)
02:11 (WHO WILL WIN?)
02:13 (WHO WILL WIN?)
02:14 (audience applauding)
