JAKARTA - The Indonesian women's volleyball national team failed to win a gold medal at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia. However, the bronze medal was successfully presented to the Red and White.

The medal was won after winning 3-1 over the Philippines in the third place. Meanwhile, the men's volleyball team had a better fate with the success of defending the gold medal for the third time.

In response to this, the women's volleyball athlete Wilda Siti Nurfadilah warned of long-term national training to be able to improve women's volleyball achievements. "Maybe if I look at the neighbors who now have good volleyball, like Thailand or Vietnam, it's not decided. Maybe like badminton," said Wilda.

"It's like if for example, we enter (the national training) again, something like that. But it also has to be sufficient funding preparations and others. What is not yet in volleyball, maybe that," he continued, as reported by Antara. Long-term training is believed by Wilda to be carried out, even though the participants are also active in defending their respective clubs in the Proliga event. "Actually (long-term national training) is possible because we are exercising a team that needs chemistry as well, it needs to be like we are constantly practicing together. It's impossible for me to practice alone, he himself, is combined. So it's also possible if we really want to, because after the league there is a long holiday. continue to enter again," added the player who plays as the middle blocker.

Pemain Bandung BJB Tandamata itu juga menyayangkan minimnya partisipasi tim bola voli putri di sejumlah ajang single event. Menurutnya, itu bisa dipakai untuk mengukur kekuatan tim."Ya (try out) itu juga sangat kurang sih, apalagi kemarin mungkin karena COVID ya atau gimana. Cuma sebenarnya banyak banget event-event yang diadain di voli, yang single event, yang Indonesia gak ikut gitu. Jadi sangat disayangkan sih. Kalau misalnya negara-negara lain tuh, bahkan ada U-17, U-23. Kita nggak. Kita cuma ya udah mentok di senior itu," kata atlet 28 tahun itu.

The Indonesian women's volleyball team at the 2023 SEA Games was not strengthened by two seasoned Yolla Yuliana and Shella Bernadetha. Wilda admitted that she felt that she had lost the two figures, but she was grateful that the junior players were able to replace the two well. Indonesia's steps towards the final were hampered by Vietnam, who won 3-2 in the semifinals. The victory was not easily obtained by Vietnam, and Wilda believes that Indonesia's game in the match was quite good. "It's quite extraordinary, because we are struggling with the squad. Yah got bronze Alhamdulillah. And earlier like Mas Rodi said, we can be strict against Vietnam, it's also extraordinary," he concluded.
