Nadi Arena (20/6/24)

Transcript

00:00The Malaysian athlete, Robert Ballard, is not the only one who has a passion for sports.

00:08Which one should be prioritized, the sport of wrestling or the world championship in Lima, Peru?

00:15However, it should not be a problem for the Malaysian athlete to make a choice to participate in one of the championships

00:21since both have their own interests.

00:26The head coach of the Malaysian team, Robert Ballard, does not see the importance of the participation of young athletes

00:32to the World Championships in Sarawak and the Under-20 World Championships which will start from 27 to 31 August.

00:40According to him, both competitions should not cause a situation where the athlete is forced to choose

00:45to participate in the Under-20 World Championships or the Under-20 World Championships in Lima, Peru.

00:50In addition, the seven athletes who have qualified for the Under-20 World Championships will still compete

00:56even though it will take more than 30 hours.

01:20I encourage every one of them to be competing at SUCMA 100%

01:24because there are medals at stake, there are bonuses at stake,

01:30there are selections in the Palapis Kabansaan or even the podium program at stake.

01:37So, very, very important meeting for them.

01:39Well, they don't have to choose.

01:41Look, the thing is that, firstly, they're selected to go to SUCMA for their states and congratulations to that.

01:48They've nominated and now we'll need to wait and see if they're selected.

01:51And if they're selected to World Under-20 as well, well, then they have the opportunity of doing both.
