00:00 My body's reaction was very positive.
00:02 That was the summary of the entire journey of the Open Sports Campaign
00:05 of the Johor Super Series 1 for Haikal Hanafi
00:08 which was really exciting with its impressive improvement
00:10 even though it was almost two years without competing in the 200m event.
00:13 Meanwhile, Zahidatul Hosnia's team
00:16 North Africa Batrusha received a precious experience and training
00:21 after only being able to chase the Olympic gold medalist twice.
00:27 After a long break after the fall of Bukulali last year,
00:30 the former South Asian champion has regained his strength
00:33 and is now on the right track.
00:34 Haikal is now leading his team
00:37 in the second-best runner-up category.
00:40 The winner of the Olympic gold medalist,
00:43 the Filipino woman, shared her body condition
00:45 which showed her physical competitiveness.
00:48 Although the 2.151 seconds run is not the best performance,
00:52 at least the process of improving his fitness
00:55 is a promise of the revival of Haikal Hanafi.
00:59 First of all, I want to thank God for today
01:04 because I didn't expect to do 2.151 seconds
01:08 because I expected only 21.8 seconds.
01:11 So today, I have proven that I can do my best
01:15 in the 200m final.
01:16 I ran the last 200m in 2022 in Suqmah, KL.
01:20 Then, I didn't run in 2023 and this year, I started running again.
01:25 So, I don't want to say that I'm disappointed.
01:28 But what I can say is that I have to improve my timing in the 200m.
01:32 I need to focus more for the next tournament.
01:37 So, in the finals, I have to improve my weak points.
01:40 So, I have to improve in the finals.
01:43 Meanwhile, in the women's competition,
01:45 Afrinah Batrisha showed her performance
01:47 alongside her idol, Zahidatul Husnia
01:49 because her experience in Johor has made her mature.
01:52 She admitted that she was still a beginner in the sport.
01:55 The 20-year-old runner has her own perspective
01:59 on the learning process she went through.
02:01 This is the following footage of Afrinah chasing Zahidatul's idol twice,
02:04 both in the final.
02:06 Okay, for my family's experience in this game,
02:18 what we know from the results,
02:21 I got the second place,
02:24 where I was behind Olympian,
02:28 which is Zahidatul Husnia.
02:30 Although I trained with him,
02:35 I haven't had the fortune to go further than him.
02:40 Moreover, our age and experience are different.
02:47 I joined the national team last year.
02:54 Our age is different.
03:00 I'm only 20 years old,
03:01 and my brother is 31 years old.
03:03 Maybe this can be my motivation to go further.
03:09 I think from this game,
03:12 I can give Zahidatul Husnia a chance to play.
