00:00The Olympic gold medalist, Azim Fahmi, will walk to the 2024 Paris Olympics after being awarded a wild card slot last June.
00:17And aware of his heavy duty in the city of Cinta later, the gold medalist of the Asian Games 2023 promises to show his best side for his beloved country.
00:27Following the Olympic capsule, Wonder Kid from Teluk Intan, Mohd Azim bin Mohd Fahmi.
00:39Mohd Azim bin Mohd Fahmi is the only athlete in our country to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
00:47Azim will compete in the Blue Ribbon event, which is a 100-meter sprint, alongside world-class runners such as Noah Lyce from the United States and Kishan Thompson from Jamaica.
00:58However, the main competition for our country's sprinters is certainly the competition between the three judges,
01:05Pirupul Bonson and Nalu Zohri, in the race for the title of Southeast Asian Sprinter in Paris later.
01:12According to records, Azim performed better in the Asian Games after winning the gold medal.
01:17Pirupul Bonson had the best time among the Asian runners and Nalu Zohri was the runner who beat Azim in the Asian Games in Surabaya.
01:29So, who will be the real king?
01:42Nalu Mamat Zohri
01:50For me, it will be a very interesting race because Nalu Mamat Zohri is also qualified for the Olympic Games by WorldCard.
01:58And Pirupul is the only one from Southeast Asia who managed to pass Merit in the 100-meter event.
02:04So, for me, of course, my main goal is to survive and advance for the next race in the Olympics.
02:14Because for me, I haven't shown my best yet for this season. I feel like there's more in me.
02:22So, I hope to advance to the Olympics.
02:26Not only am I excited to race with the runners from Southeast Asia, but also from Asia and the world.
02:34An important fact is that Azim is the first male sprinter to run in the Olympics since the last time The Flying Dayak was held,
02:44which was 24 years ago at the Sydney Olympics.
02:47But it's hard for Azim himself to say that he is the main candidate to fill the vacancy of the country's legendary sprinters.
02:55We go past by years. We go past by decades.
03:00So, yes, of course, in the 80s and 90s, we were well-known for our very good sprinters,
03:09such as our legend, Dato' Dr. MJ Garrison.
03:11And then we have Rabonpit and then also we have Watson Nyambek.
03:15So, they're all considered as a legend.
03:17Even though I am the current national record holder, but we cannot compare with them because they are so professional at that time.
03:25They also experienced what people call their time, so I am in my time.
03:30So, when they say that I am a substitute for Watson Nyambek,
03:35they can say that because, yes, I am a national sprinter who is in the place where I am now.
03:42But for me, that is not a pressure because my goal is just to be myself.
03:48I don't want to compare myself with other people because they have their achievement.
03:52I have my own achievement.
03:53So, the goal is always to, but of course, we all going to have the same vision and same goal,
03:58which is to put Malaysia on the map.
04:02So, hopefully, with what people say that I am able to do in the Olympics,
04:10God willing, I will try my best.
04:12But my biggest goal is just to put Malaysia on the map and then also to make Malaysia great again.
