01:47It's about to start.
01:49It's hard to walk out there.
01:50It must be because of the Thomas Cup.
01:52Of course, this game is very important.

03:29Slowly and steadily.
03:31It's still early.
03:44Yes!
03:46You can do it.
03:47No.
04:18We're in the same team now.
04:20Bravo, Meishuai Shi!
04:40He's going to score a goal.
04:47He's going to score a goal.

05:59I want to be an idol.
06:04Let's try our luck.
06:07Hi.
06:09When my dad was young,
06:10When my dad was young,
06:12he wanted to be an athlete.
06:14He wanted to be an athlete.
06:15He actually Schzilder himself.
06:16Oh, no, I'm here in Malaysia.
06:20I'm here to give you this medal.
06:24Here, put it on.
06:28Honey, I heard that tomorrow is a holiday.
06:31Oh, is that so?
06:46Yes.
07:05Oh, you're not going to give it to me?
07:07No, honey.
07:10Oh.
07:12Rashid Ziddiq has seven points in the second set.
07:14But unfortunately, he was forced to lose...
07:17...in a very important match.
07:22As a coach, what is your opinion on the fact that...
07:24...the BAM team is still sending Rashid to this competition...
07:26...even though they know that Rashid hasn't fully recovered...
07:29...from his injury?
07:30Rashid knows what he's doing.
07:33This competition is very important for Rashid...
07:35...to gather the eyes of the Olympic team.
07:38God willing.
07:39Let's all hope that Rashid will perform well...
07:42...in the upcoming Olympics.
07:51Adul.
07:55Malaysia needs gold medals.
07:57You're our hope.
07:59You've worked hard all your life for this mission.
08:02When you've won, take this.
08:06Turn around.
08:10Okay, Dad.
08:26Ali!
08:27Come here.
08:28Is the shop here?
08:30Yes, it's a big shop.
08:32It's very expensive.
08:33It's okay.
08:34Come here.
08:35Let's go.
08:37Ali, come here.
08:38Ali, come here.
08:39Hello.
08:40How are you?
08:41I'm fine.
08:44How's business here?
08:45Not bad.
08:46That's good.
08:47You can handle it.
08:51I didn't expect to see Jacky Sittanto in the finals.
08:55Rashid doesn't look anywhere near Jacky.
08:57If Rashid wins the gold medal...
08:59...his father will be the happiest.
09:02Of course, it's his father.
09:05If my son can win the Olympic gold medal...
09:07...I'll die with pride.
09:10If I win, I'll have no regrets.
09:13And on my left, from Malaysia, Rashid Siddique.

10:31Is your leg hurting again?
10:33The medic didn't give you a shot?
10:35Okay, good.
10:38Mr. Siddique, are you okay?
10:57Mr. Siddique, are you okay?
11:04Mr. Siddique, can you continue?
