00:00The National Weightlifting Federation is ready for all possibilities for the new season,
00:04although there is no official decision from the International Weightlifting Federation.
00:10The main issue is the new weight category format for the 2026 Sukan Kemawang Glasgow Games
00:16is being played in the mind of Head Coach Julate Edmund Yeo.
00:20There are rumors that the new category will only be in force in June.
00:25The country is undergoing training for the international competition in China in May.
00:30But does the competition compete with the old weight category?
00:34The World Cup, which is the opening campaign for this season,
00:39acts as a battlefield for the country's achievements,
00:42with the aim of breaking through the first slot.
00:45Sukan, that is Kemawang, at the Kemawang 2025 Games in India in August.
00:51After June, we will change the weight category.
00:58So we will try a new weight category
01:04with the competition in Rompin to see the performance
01:09before the next competition at the Kemawang Games in India in August.
01:16So in June we will see the new category.
01:20June in Rompin.
01:23So that's our platform to see the performance of the new category.
01:31We have to prepare in advance.
01:34So the competition in Rompin is indeed ideal for us to adapt to the new category.
01:47Meanwhile, Edmund Yeo put high hopes on Eri Hidayat
01:51to return to China after two years of turmoil.
01:54Since the victory at the Kemawang Games in Birmingham,
01:57Eri has been plagued by injury problems and has failed to maintain his excellent performance.
02:02The son of the legend of the country, Hidayat Hamidun,
02:05is encouraged to make a comeback by chasing a slot to Glasgow as his main target.
02:11He has to do it too.
02:13Because maybe in the next two years he has to go to college.
02:17So the training is sometimes not very consistent.
02:23But this year, since it's already the end of the year,
02:27we will push him even more.
02:29We will set the target of the team.
02:32With the new category, we will set the target
02:38and we will see how far he can go.
02:42The advantage of Eri is that he doesn't have any technical problems.
02:48He just needs more training sessions.
02:54His father has his way and he has his way too.
03:00For me, he is good.
