00:00Paralympic Paralympics in Paris

00:06The Paris Paralympic Paralympics was a disappointing moment for the country's contingent

00:11when for the first time in history,

00:13they were only able to bring home two gold medals

00:16through Charlotte Hau and Bonnie Boniagustin.

00:18The most worrying thing is that the country's contingent still relies on experienced athletes

00:22to bring home medals,

00:24not to mention the pressure on the new athletes,

00:26who are likely to be at a disadvantage.

00:30This is the review of the Paris Paralympics,

00:32brought to you by reporter Karl Nunez.

00:35The country's contingent has put an end to the Paris Paralympics

00:38with two gold, two silver and one bronze medals.

00:42The sad reality is that only one new face has contributed

00:47and the rest are the same faces from the Rio-General Rio and Tokyo editions.

00:53With me is Datuk Soebrahmaniam, the CDM of this competition.

00:58How do you see this?

01:00I'm sorry to ask, but it looks like a failure to get four gold medals.

01:05How do you feel, Datuk?

01:07Yes, I accept the defeat.

01:12I take responsibility for it.

01:14But from the aspect of defeat,

01:18I don't want to look at it as a defeat.

01:22We gave them a good fight.

01:24We did not drop out of the medal.

01:27We still got our medal, but it was a close call.

01:30It was a long jump.

01:33It was a close call.

01:35It was the last jump.

01:37But to me, in my personal opinion,

01:41I think we are going to bring this out of court.

01:45We need to change our strategy of discovering talent

01:50and developing them.

01:52We must compare ourselves with our opponents.

01:59You have a background in the army,

02:02in how to face the enemy.

02:05So, how do you look at the failure of this competition

02:10to have a new programme in the future?

02:14If we want to go to war,

02:19we must know our enemy.

02:22We must understand our enemy.

02:24Once we know who our enemy is,

02:30then we can make suitable strategies

02:33to determine our victory.

02:37We don't want to die for our country.

02:39Let the enemy die for their country.

02:42You make the other man die for his country.

02:44Then only you will win.

02:45So, in that context, for sport, it's the same thing.

02:48We are also going to competition.

02:51If you don't understand your opponent,

02:53you are already on a losing ground from the beginning.

02:58I think there are more than 30 men and women in 100m.

03:03And in the future,

03:06not only Eddy Benat,

03:08but there will be more talented people to be brought to LA.

03:13Indeed.

03:15We have to start at Parasukma.

03:19Now, we are at Parasukma.

03:21Sometimes, if there are not enough athletes for an event,

03:26the event will be cancelled.

03:29So, this is something we are going to oppose.

03:32If there are only two people in the country for an event,

03:37we have to do it.

03:39Because from there, maybe we can build an athlete

03:42to host the event.

03:44As explained earlier,

03:47for 100m, there are 30 gold medals.

03:54If there are able, there are only two.

03:56One male and one female.

03:58There are 16 gold medals for men and 13 gold medals for women.

04:03So, we have to find talent.

04:06To find talent, we need a large fund.

04:11Fund raising has two aspects.

04:17First, the government has to re-study

04:24the funding for Parasukma.

04:31So, when this kind of movement is there,

04:34you will get more talent.

04:36More talent, yes, you need more money.

04:38That is one from the government, definitely.

04:41Alright, thank you, Dato.

04:43I hope the agreement between MPM, MSN, and KBS

04:49will be a success for Parasukma.

04:52Until next time, I am Karl Nunez

04:54from Paris, France.

04:56Have a nice weekend.
