Jesyca Amelia Hopes to Win a Medal at the 2026 Asian Cadet and Junior Championships

JAKARTA - Indonesian fencing athlete, Jesyca Emilia, has set a target to secure a medal in the 2026 Asian Cadet and Junior Fencing Championship which will take place in Jakarta.

The tournament will be held on February 20-27, 2026 at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Senayan, Central Jakarta. The opening ceremony is scheduled to take place on Friday, February 20, 2026, at 16.00 WIB.

Jesyca said that she and her friends had prepared as much as possible to face the event so that they were confident they could face the competition in the arena.

"The goal is to hopefully bring home any medal. First, second, or third place, hopefully we can get a medal," Jesyca told the media on the sidelines of her preparations in Jakarta to appear in the tournament.

A total of 26 countries from the Asia and Oceania region attended the prestigious event. Indonesia sent its full strength to compete in the sabre, foil, and epee categories for senior and junior boys and girls.

Jesyca, who will compete in the women's épée, admitted that the competition in this tournament is certainly not easy in the midst of the dominance of countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan.

"From the Indonesian team, we have increased our technical training, endurance especially, and currently some of us are fasting so we really take care of endurance," he said.

This championship is not Jesyca's first experience appearing at the regional level. He previously participated in the Islamic Solidarity Games (ISG) in Riyadh 2025 with a bronze medal and the Senior Asian Fencing Championship in Bali.

The 2026 Asian Cadet and Junior Fencing Championship will be used by Indonesia for the selection of athletes for the 2026 Youth Olympics. The tournament is scheduled to take place from October 31 to November 13, 2026 in Dakar, Senegal.
