00:00Who is the most suitable country's athlete for the Universal Slot?
00:16The main candidate is Azim Fahmi.
00:22Let's continue with Zaki Zainal.
00:25The most suitable country's athlete for the Universal Slot is Azim Fahmi.
00:30He is a 20-year-old young man with a far-sighted perspective.
00:33If he fails to fill the Universal Slot, he will be known as a wildcard
00:37who opens the way to a 100-meter runner, 800-meter runner or marathon runner from Malaysia.
00:44Look, I'm still young. I'm still 20 years old.
00:47Maybe many people have forgotten that I'm still young.
00:52I'm 20 years old.
00:54So, if the choice is made and given to me, of course, I'm going to do my best.
01:02No matter what kind of situation I'm having,
01:07for sure I will use the best opportunity to compete in the Olympic Games.
01:12But if I'm not chosen to use the wildcard and run in the Olympics,
01:19I don't feel a little bit because for me,
01:22this is part of my process that I have to learn, that I have to experience
01:27for me to grow better in the next series.
01:31For Azim, no matter what his decision is, it won't be a big problem for him
01:36because he aims for the top spot in the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028.
01:41I want to do my best, not only for myself but also my country.
01:45Every time I line up on the race,
01:48my goal is just to make sure that people know where I come from.
01:52The goal is to bring the Malaysian flag and then just to put Malaysia on the map.
01:58So, the next Olympics will be 2028 in Los Angeles.
02:03So, at that moment, I'm going to be 24, which I think is a good opportunity for me.
02:11To stay, I mean, show my best at that time.
02:16So, yeah.
02:17No matter what the decision is from OCM, KOM, and whoever makes the decision,
02:25I will accept it as it is.
02:27If I get a chance, I'm going to do my best for sure.
02:29If not chosen to compete in the prestigious wildcard,
02:32Azim also shared his willingness to compete in the Sarawak Olympic Games this August.
02:37If I don't make it to the Olympics, I'm going to play solo.
02:40We'll see.
02:41So, either one?
02:42Either one.
02:43I can't play both if I make it to the Olympics.
02:46That's true.
