00:00The Malaysian Athlete Union has unanimously named the sensational runner, Muhammad Azim Fahmi, as the main candidate to fill the universal slot that leads to the inclusion at the Olympic Games in Paris.
00:18Although the last chance of Azim and Shirin Samson-Velaboy was opened to Zastan, KOM has a choice if the two athletes still fail to pass the Olympic qualification.
00:28From the day-to-day selection process, we have named two athletes, namely Azim and Shirin.
00:39But the decision-making power of our first choice is Azim, and the next is Shirin, depending on the medical athlete and the athlete's availability.
00:55Because of the merit, Azim is better than Shirin.
01:03Nurhayati offers the latest perspective, if Shirin's slot to Paris depends on health factors and so on, because this universal slot has its own criteria.
01:12It is understood that KOM needs to send a name to the Malaysian Olympic Games before June 30.
01:16Then, KOM will send a name to the International Olympic Games before July 8.
01:26What we have understood is that the use of universal placing is for the 100, 800 and marathon events.
01:35So, if Shirin goes, she will be slotted to the 100 or 800 events.
01:41And if Shirin is named to represent Malaysia in the Olympics under universal placing,
01:48the event will be held by the national team, whether it is 100 or other events.
