00:03 The happy Dato' Muhammad Shahid Al-Baghdadi.
00:08 Congratulations!
00:10 Six times the finalist.
00:15 The sixth time, finally, the National Athlete of the Year...
00:20 Natasha Betty Mohamed Roslan.
00:23 Congratulations!
00:25 I was surprised.
00:44 I've seen six Evil Dads, they call them Devils.
00:50 Six times the world champion, six times the Asian champion, six times the finalist.
00:55 Finally, the National Athlete of the Year.
00:58 I'm really touched.
01:01 Praise be to God.
01:03 I'm grateful.
01:05 I didn't expect this.
01:07 I didn't expect this.
01:08 I'm used to being the finalist.
01:11 I hope this will give me more motivation.
01:16 I was appointed as a national athlete last month.
01:22 This will give me more motivation to bring new athletes...
01:26 ...who are champions like me or better than me.
01:29 I tried for this year.
01:31 Praise be to God, after I grew up, I got the chance to play this sport.
01:38 For me, it's a great honor.
01:42 There are many athletes who need to be challenged.
01:47 We have many athletes.
01:49 Do you have a time frame for the next athletes?
01:55 I can achieve it in two or three years.
02:00 If it's impossible, who knows, maybe next year.
02:03 I have senior athletes who I'm taking care of.
02:07 I hope they can win the world championship in their class.
02:12 I think this is one of my biggest achievements.
02:18 This is the first time I was nominated.
02:21 This is the first time I've been nominated and won.
02:26 I've been aiming for this since I was a kid.
02:31 I wanted to follow in the footsteps of Dato' Shalin Zulkifli.
02:34 He's my mentor.
02:37 He's my sister since I was a swimmer.
02:41 He coached me.
02:42 When she won many medals, I had a goal.
02:46 I wanted to be one of the winners.
02:51 I texted Shalin and asked for her blessings.
02:55 I prayed for her to follow in her footsteps.
02:59 She always gives me the motivation to push myself.
03:03 When I was playing in the Super Bowl, she said I have talent.
03:08 She always pushed me.
03:10 Even when she wasn't in the team, she texted me to give me motivation.
03:16 I'm nervous.
03:18 I'm more nervous than bowling.
03:21 This is my first time.
03:23 I won the best team in 2022.
03:30 I was in the same team.
03:32 It's an extra when I'm alone.
03:36 But it's one of the biggest achievements.
03:40 I have to go through it and be happy at the moment.
03:43 I'm proud of you.
03:45 I'm proud of you.
03:46 Be awesome!
03:47 Go, go, go!
03:48 Go, go, go!
03:50 Go, go, go!
03:52 Go, go, go!
