00:00The President of the Malaysian Olympic Committee, Tan Sri Mohamad Nurza Zakaria,
00:04has chosen either Shirin Vallaboy or Azim Fahmi as the most suitable candidates
00:08to be involved with the national team to the Paris Olympics.
00:11It is clear that this matter should be discussed with the Malaysian sports community
00:15before any speculation about who is more qualified.
00:23As the President of the Malaysian Olympic Committee,
00:25of course I do not want to interfere in the election.
00:29The election will be held by the Olympic Committee, in this case KOM,
00:35and we hope that they will choose based on certain merits.
00:39Since both of them are not qualified in terms of merits,
00:44but there is one place, wild card, I will leave it to the committee.
00:49Meanwhile, Nurza denied the media statement stating that
00:52the prospects of five gold medals can be achieved at the Paris Olympics
00:55and vice versa, the focus is only given to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
01:01I said earlier at the OOPSI,
01:06each athlete for the time being is 21 people,
01:10each of them has worked so hard in 4 years to achieve their dreams
01:16or their dreams through the qualification process,
01:20and finally they achieved their dreams at the Paris Olympics.
01:24I think that each of the athletes must have a dream to succeed,
01:31or try as hard as they can to give back the medals to us.
01:35And we do not want to focus on just 2 or 3 sports,
01:40but they do not care about bicycles, badminton, sailing, archery, diving,
01:47they all have the calibre to achieve those objectives.
