JAKARTA - Weightlifter Delima Yunia Susanti has set a high target at the 2025 ASEAN Para Games even though she is the youngest athlete in the Indonesian Contingent.
The ASEAN Para Games (APG) in 2025 Thailand is scheduled to take place on January 20-26, 2026. This is Delima's debut appearance in the Southeast Asian countries' multi-branch sports festival.
Delima admitted that he had undergone a long preparation to welcome this event so that he really hoped a lot could achieve his goal.
"Pray for us so that the athletes in the weightlifting branch can get a gold medal and their dreams can be realized. If the personal target, I want, I want, to get gold," he said in a statement received.
As a youth athlete, Delima is sure to face athletes who are more senior than other countries. However, the athlete born in Bandung Regency is not at all afraid to compete.
He admitted that there was a feeling of nervousness with his status as a very young athlete. However, he was very ready to compete.
"This is also an event to test the mental. So, I really have to prepare mentally as well. As a young athlete, I also want to gain experience in this event," he said.
Delima made his debut at the ASEAN Para Games at the age of 15. He spent five years to be able to participate in this prestigious event.
His first championship was the 2022 West Java Regional Paralympic Week (Peparda). After that, he represented West Java at the 2024 National Paralympic Week (Peparnas) and managed to win silver.
In addition, Delima also represented the Indonesian Contingent at the 2025 Asian Youth Para Games (AYPG) and managed to present a gold medal in the -79 kilogram women's class while breaking the Asian record.
