Tasya Putri/Dwiki Eka Ramadhan Make History At The 2025 Asian Winter Games

JAKARTA Tasya Putri/Dwiki Eka Ramadhan made history as the first ice dance pair from Southeast Asia to appear in the Asian Winter Games winter event.

They made this history when they appeared in the 2025 Asian Winter Games which took place in Harbin, China, this year. The pair finished their journey there by ranking sixth.

"I feel touched and proud to be in my heart because this is not only a personal achievement, but also a first step for Indonesia to be known internationally, especially in ice dance," said Tasya in a statement received.

This is not the first time the two names have appeared in the Asian Winter Games. They were previously included in the team when Indonesia made their debut in the 2017 edition which took place in Sapporo and Obihiro, Japan.

Namun, ini pertama kalinya mereka turun sebagai pasangan di nomor ice dance pada ajang tersebut, yang membuat mereka berhasil mencatatkan sejarah penting.

"I hope this journey can inspire the younger generation to dare to dream big and pursue what they love," said Tasya.

Tasya and Dwiki managed to score 35.51 points in the rhythm dance round and improved performance and got 54.63 points in free dance. So, overall took them to sixth position.

The participation of Tasya Putri and Dwiki Eka Ramadhan in the 2025 Asian Winter Games is proof of the development of ice skating in Indonesia.

The Ice Dancing Indonesia coach, Wiwin Salim, hopes that this achievement can be a motivation for young athletes to continue training in order to make Indonesia proud in the international arena.

"Of course there is still a lot to be improved. This is their third game, the value is quite consistent."

"There are still minor mistakes that can be better with more flying hours in the future," said Wiwin.

The gold medal for the ice dance number was won by the host pair China, Junfei Ren and Jianing Xing. They became the best after collecting a total score of 106.96 points.

The silver medal was won by the Japanese pair, Utana Yoshida and Masaya Morita, who scored 104.43 points.

Following in third place are the other Japanese pair, Azusa Tanaka and Shingo Nishiyama, who got a total score of 100.50 points to get a bronze medal.
