JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Aquatics Executive Board (PB AI) Anindya Bakrie emphasized that his party did not rule out the possibility of senior athletes entering national training.
Anindya Bakrie said that senior athletes also have the opportunity to enter the national training and be measured by performance and data.
"You have to regenerate without denying it and 30 percent are still allowed for senior athletes. But regeneration is a matter of choice such as humans are biological, that from time to time it takes renewal," Anindya Bakrie told ANTARA in Jakarta, Saturday.
Anidnya Bakrie explained that the assessment of the national training selection was also based on competition between athletes with a national training quota composition percentage of 30 percent for senior athletes and 70 percent for junior athletes.

In addition, Anindya said that there would be a team that would analyze the performance data of athletes with benchmarks that could remain consistent within eight years.
"For example, we predict that within eight years it will still have the same ability today. So we have to think what ideal age is reduced by eight years," said Anindya.
"Because that's always the formula to achieve productive age," he added.
PB Aquatic Indonesia is now also not closing its eyes to see the potential of the athletes in the diaspora.
However, Anindya Bakrie said that she would not let go of focusing on athletes' nursery and potential in the regions.
Indonesia's aquatics are targeted to be able to appear in the near future at the 2026 Youth Olympic and then continue to compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics Qualification round.
