JAKARTA - Indonesian women's doubles athlete, Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, continues to focus on training at the PBSI National Training Center. She did not take a day off to improve her quality to face competition in 2023.

The Apriyani Rahayu pair decided to continue working hard in preparation to face new challenges that are already in sight.

"Yes, just work hard. Yesterday after returning from Thailand, after two days off, the holidays will be on Christmas and New Year," said Fadia, as reported by Antara, Sunday, December 25.

He admitted that his decision to stay in the national training center was purely his own choice. This is a form of responsibility for his profession as a national athlete.

Moreover, Apri/Fadia's performance is now in the spotlight because they appear full of surprises by defeating a number of top pairs and being able to fly at the ranking position of the Badminton World Federation (BWF).

"This is a form of self-motivating, because this has become a profession. This is not an office job, if the holiday takes too long, I'm afraid the techniques can be lost or physically must be honed from scratch again," said Siti Fadia.

So that his ability is not left behind, training with Apriyani at the PBSI National Training Center is considered a wise choice to provide their readiness ahead of next year.

Fadia also shared his development since he was paired with Apri this year. Based on an evaluation with the coach, Fadia was asked to increase his "skills" in order to keep up with his co-stars.

He admitted that he was not burdened with these demands and was more motivated to raise the level of his abilities with the Olympic gold medalist.

"Indeed, being asked to balance, because the reason for playing at the women's doubles top level is not easy. We can't kill the opponent with one or two punches, so we really have to be physically, mentally, and compactly ready," he said.
