JAKARTA - Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Zainudin Amali and Raffi Ahmad collaborated to set a national record for virtual gymnastics through the Stay at Home (SAH) exercise, which is the Ministry of Youth and Sports' program for activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The community must continue to exercise. I invite Raffi if they wish, we invite the community to exercise together. At the latest next week we will exercise together," Amali said during a live Instagram session with Raffi Ahmad, Saturday.

Raffi was also enthusiastic about the invitation from Menpora Amali and Nagita Slavina's husband, hoping that the activity would attract more people to exercise. "We do gymnastics, we make records for virtual gymnastics," said Raffi.

SAH Gymnastics is a program made by the Ministry of Youth and Sports since last year. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Youth and Sports has also carried out many creative activities to encourage people to stay healthy.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports previously also held a SAH gymnastics competition from May 1 to August 2, 2020. At that time, each individual or family of three imitated and followed the gymnastics movements, then uploaded them to social media.

"We at the Kemenpora from last year have made tutorials for people who stay at home to keep exercising. So if someone says the Kemenpora is silent, there is no creativity. Even in the future, we will encourage it again," said Menpora Zainudin Amali.

Raffi admitted that the Ministry of Youth and Sports under the direction of Zainudin Amali continued to move during the COVID-19 pandemic. The interests of national athletes such as vaccinations are also a priority program of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

"Mr. Menpora (Zainudin Amali) is not silent, all athletes have been vaccinated, Mr. Menpora yesterday also made the Menpora Cup. You also guarantee," said Raffi.
