JAKARTA - The Indonesian Olympic Committee (NOC Indonesia) has learned a lot of knowledge and experience while at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In addition to observing the implementation concept during the COVID-19 pandemic, this non-governmental organization (NGO) also observed the sports development system of all NOCs in the world.
“The holding of multi-events, not only the Olympics, it will produce a legacy, where is legacy. However, the legacy is built from the system. So Indonesia's NOC is currently trying to build a system that will be a reference for the future," said the president of NOC Indonesia, Raja Sapta Oktohari, in an official NOC statement received by VOI, Monday, August 2.
Okto, who also serves as Vice President of the Asian Cycling Confederation (ACC), explained that the Indonesian NOC immediately studied carefully all the components in organizing the Olympics. Both the sports system, coaching athletes, coaches, referees, event organizers, to venues.
"So if at any time Indonesia becomes the organizer of international multi-events, we are ready," said Okto.
“Moreover, the Ministry of Youth and Sports already has a blueprint that stipulates the Olympics as the ultimate goal of achievement development. So here, we also see how to develop the achievements of countries that come with a large contingent.”
If the system has been established, Okto is sure, the participation of Indonesian athletes at each future Olympics will increase. This condition will also be followed by an increase in Indonesia's sports achievements on the world stage.
Okto explained, Indonesia also needs to study the coaching programs carried out by several other countries. Like China, which plans the peak performance of its athletes when appearing at the Olympics. They don't see small goals anymore but big goals.
"We really need to discuss this issue more sharply with sports. Do not let us be satisfied with achievements in small category events. In the future, we must be able to produce athletes who are able to excel at the Olympics," he added.
