00:00Crowd Cheering
00:25Alhamdulillah, for me, for MSN,
00:28for MSN, they came back with success.
00:30Congratulations to them, and we are grateful.
00:33The most important thing for MSN and MPM right now,
00:36we are grateful that we went safely,
00:38and we came back, Alhamdulillah, safely.
00:41We were able to go and bring them back safely.
00:44So that's the most important thing,
00:46because we know that they are para-athletes,
00:49so the most important thing is that we can take care of them well,
00:52so that they can compete well there,
00:55and come back safely.
00:57Overall, two gold medals.
00:59Okay.
01:00Far behind the other four.
01:02How is MSN labelling this achievement?
01:05Okay, first, I want to say that it's not far behind.
01:09The statement that it's far behind, for me, is incorrect.
01:12If we look at the Paralympics in Rio,
01:17the Paralympics in Tokyo,
01:20and until now, it's only three, three, two gold medals.
01:23But the number of gold medals is still the same.
01:26It's still the same.
01:27It's just that if we look at the target,
01:31or the target that was initially made by MPM,
01:36and repeated over and over again,
01:39we actually received that target well.
01:42But the initial target was indeed made by MPM.
01:45Anyway, MSN still supports that target,
01:50and we didn't succeed in getting that four gold medals.
01:53We admit that we didn't succeed,
01:57but those who didn't get the gold medals, got the medals.
02:00And for us, getting the medals is already quite high,
02:03and they also tried to get the gold medals.
02:05It's just that at the last moment,
02:07we all know, one country knows,
02:09at the last moment, the gold medals fell into the hands of another country.
02:13With the last jump, with the second, third, and last turn,
02:17so that's the custom in the sport.
02:19In the sport, there are winners and losers.
02:21So for us, we lost in certain places.
02:24So why don't we be a good loser?
02:27So just be a good loser.
02:29Nothing to...
02:30Why do we need to be too sad with this lack of gold medals?
02:35We still got five gold medals.
02:37We also got five gold medals in Tokyo.
02:39So that's the success.
02:41We still got two gold medals, but five gold medals.
02:45We still got five gold medals in the Paris Paralympics,
02:49and five gold medals in the Tokyo Paralympics.
02:51So it's not a decline.
02:53It's not a decline that's too big,
02:56and too drastic.
02:57In fact, we have to be proud
02:59of the 18 athletes who participated in the Paris Paralympics for the first time.
03:05That's 60%.
03:08That's big, ladies and gentlemen.
03:09More than half.
03:1060% of the athletes who participated in the Paris Paralympics
03:14participated for the first time.
03:16And we can also see
03:19that there are three or four athletes
03:21who have great potential
03:24to win gold medals in LA later.
03:27At the same time,
03:28the athletes who won gold medals in the Paris Paralympics
03:31will not be left to continue fighting
03:34in the LA Paralympics later.
03:36So I think the future is bigger,
03:40and we will probably bring home more gold medals.
03:43So the meaning of failure is not a failure,
03:47but we have a little decline.
03:49And we face that decline together.
03:53We share it together.
03:54We win as a team.
03:56We lose as a team.
03:57This is very important.
03:59We want to come back together
04:01and we celebrate the success and recovery
04:05that has been shown by our athletes.
04:09Coach, the gold medalist is a veteran athlete.
04:13So what are the positives from MSN?
04:16First, a veteran athlete like Bonny Buniau
04:20is still young.
04:21Even though he is a veteran, he has won twice.
04:24Maybe he is a veteran in that respect,
04:27but he is still young.
04:28He is only 25 years old.
04:30Based on his age and the competition,
04:34he should be able to compete
04:37in at least two more Olympics.
04:40That is our view.
04:42So it doesn't mean that he is a veteran athlete.
04:45A veteran in his own way, yes.
04:47But he is still young.
04:49As for Lekhau,
04:50we have discussed a little with him in Paris recently.
04:54He said he hasn't made any decisions yet,
04:57but based on the current level,
05:00and it is easy for him to show his opponent
05:04that he can still compete for a long time.
05:09So we feel that Lekhau will continue
05:13at least in the Asian Games in 2026.
05:17God willing, he will still be with us.
05:20So to replace him in badminton,
05:22we have a few other athletes.
05:24We have Fariz,
05:25we have other athletes like Amin,
05:27who will continue to move forward
05:31and will take the opportunity to replace Lekhau.
05:34If possible, he will be able to win the gold medal.
05:37I am very proud here
05:40because I was able to defend the gold medal
05:43that I won three years ago at the Tokyo Paralympics.
05:47And with an age that people can say is almost old,
05:55so this is not an easy thing to do,
05:59to be the champion at the highest level for badminton,
06:04which is the Paralympics.
06:06So I am very proud of myself.
