JAKARTA Little billionaire, Ode Nandra, will be prepared to become a junior athlete under the auspices of the Executive Board of the Indonesian Billiards Association (PB POBSI).

The Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) of the Republic of Indonesia, Dito Ariotedjo, said that the talent possessed by the 10-year-old must be trained in the right hands.

"The point is that we continue to support it so that the path is correct and maximal. I think he must also enter a good club," said Dito as quoted from the website of the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora).

Ode Nandra is a child billionaire from Banjar Teges Kaja, Gianyar, Bali. His action on the stunning billiard table went viral on social media and attracted broad public attention.

Menpora then responded by sending a scouting team for Ode. The goal is that the young star gets adequate education and coaching so that he can become an outstanding athlete in the future.

Dito said that currently communication with POBSI regarding Ode continues. He assessed that the training route through the federation would be able to develop Ode's talents.

"Later we will continue to support it. It's a shame if it is not fostered, it can't be channeled. It will continue to be followed up, yes," said Dito.

Ode, who is currently studying at the fourth grade elementary school, was invited to appear in the PB POBSI world-class billiard exhibition entitled 10 Ball The Real King at Atrium F3, FX Mall, Jakarta.

The event also presented another Indonesian child billionaire, namely Kenny Franson. In addition, two world champions, Francisco Sanchez Ruiz of Spain and Albin Ouschan of Austria, also took part.
