"The measure of achieving an achievement is not easy. Bronze or silver is difficult, let alone gold. So, the bonus will not be separated from the IDR 5 billion value, it is even usually given before the athlete's sweat dries up, don't wait too long", said Chandra Bhakti on the official website Ministry of Youth and Sports, Monday, August 2.

Meanwhile, Greysia, who is from Tomohon, will get a piece of land as promised by the deputy mayor of Tomohon, North Sulawesi, Wenny Lumentut.

Not only that. An Influencer and YouTuber Arief Muhammad will also give gifts to Greysia/Apriyani in the form of two branches of their culinary business.

"As an appreciation for this achievement, and as an encouragement to both of them, I promise to give them 2 branches of @basoaciakang, 1 new branch each, if later they can win in the final match", said Arief Muhammad as quoted from Instagram @ariefmuhammad.

After Geysia/Apriyani was confirmed to get a gold medal, Arief Muhammad took to Instagram again to fulfill his promise.

"FINALLY!!! Very proud of @greyspolii and @r.apriyanig!!! Thank you for bringing home the gold medal for Indonesia. As promised, the @basoaciakang branch for you is waiting in Indonesia. Each of you gets one!", he wrote.

Not to forget, Crazy Rich Malang, Gilang Widya Pramana also promised to give money worth IDR 500 million for athletes who won gold at the Tokyo Olympics.
