00:00 Can I do it?

00:02 If my mom said yes, I can do it.

00:09 And that will always be in my mind.

00:12 Edgar Xavier Marvello proved that the injury that forced him to enter the operating room

00:24 turned out not to be a barrier to his performance.

00:28 In the Wushu final of Chang Kwan class at the Xiaoshan Guali Sports Center, Guangzhou, China

00:34 on the 24th of September, Edgar managed to bring home the gold medal.

00:39 After the surgery, due to the back injury he had since 2017,

00:49 Edgar returned to the training center in China in early September.

00:54 He was doubtful of his ability due to the loss of training opportunities and his body was not fully recovered.

01:02 After the surgery, I came back here on the 11th of September.

01:22 I was doubtful.

01:24 Can I do it?

01:26 Because I was not fully prepared.

01:30 I only had 10 days left.

01:32 I was doubtful. I asked them.

01:34 Can I do it?

01:36 If my mom said yes, I can do it.

01:44 And that will always be in my mind.

01:47 If someone said yes, I can do it.

01:50 I can do it.

01:52 I will never let my opponent down.

01:54 After three months of training in China,

02:04 and a month later, I joined the World University Games,

02:08 and won the gold medal.

02:10 After that, I was injured.

02:12 And this injury is a barrier that is very scary for athletes.

02:17 When we are injured, we can't train, we can't prepare,

02:21 and we don't know when we will be ready again,

02:24 when we will be able to train normally again.

02:27 And what I can do is to continue to receive therapy,

02:31 to pray to be quickly recovered,

02:34 so that I can prepare myself well.

02:44 The first movement, the first jump, and the back flip.

02:48 Because in the back flip, during training,

02:51 I didn't try it because it was the most painful.

02:54 So, I did it right away during the match,

02:57 and the first jump.

02:59 For doubt, it's gone.

03:01 Because if we want to do it at the level of difficulty,

03:05 and we doubt it, it will have a bad impact.

03:08 So, just be more confident.

03:10 Because from the trainer, I'm sure I can do it.

03:13 [Music]

03:20 Maybe because of the adrenaline and everything,

03:22 with the euphoria, with the pain killer too,

03:25 it's all covered with the spirit.

03:29 [Music]

03:36 The saraph was pinched.

03:37 So, in L3, L4, and L5, the saraph was pinched.

03:40 So, the saraph was pinched quite badly.

03:44 And when it was injured,

03:47 I couldn't even walk, I could only lift my leg.

03:50 So, whether I want to or not,

03:52 it must be done by surgery.

03:55 [Music]

04:02 For pressure, no.

04:04 Because we fight individually.

04:06 We fight against ourselves.

04:08 So, when we were fighting,

04:11 we tried to focus on ourselves.

04:13 We don't want to see the opponent,

04:14 we don't want to hear the opponent's opinion.

04:16 So, we really focused on ourselves.

04:18 Until the last moment, when we had to enter,

04:21 we just saw the atmosphere,

04:23 and heard the atmosphere, that's all.

04:25 For the opponents, I'm sure they have their own strengths,

04:28 their own weaknesses.

04:30 I'm the same, so I'm sure,

04:32 whatever the judges' assessment is,

04:34 it's the best assessment.

04:36 So, I just focus on not failing,

04:39 and giving my best.

04:41 [Music]

04:48 Because I've been fighting, I hope for the whole Indonesian team,

04:51 whether it's the opponents or the other opponents,

04:53 to give their best performance too.

04:55 To give their best.

04:57 Nothing is impossible.

04:58 Believe in yourself.

05:00 Keep praying, and don't forget your family.

05:03 Because this competition,

05:06 can be said, it's a big competition.

05:09 Very big, and I'm sure,

05:11 it's very important for everyone.

05:13 [Music]

05:20 So, after this is over,

05:22 I will focus on the next competition.

05:24 So, what has been won,

05:26 I will go back to Nong,

05:28 to win what's ahead.

05:30 Next year, there will be World Combat Games,

05:33 in Saudi Arabia.

05:35 And in November, there will be World Championship,

05:37 in the United States.
