Chairman of the Indonesian National Paralympic Committee (NPC) Sonny Marbun said his party had carried out a whole series of foreign single events. Currently, Indonesia is ready to dispatch 23 athletes.
Five years ago at the Rio Jeneiro Paralympics, Brazil, the NPC only got a quota of 9 athletes from 4 sports. "Now we have a quota of 23 athletes from a total of 7 sports. This is a very significant comparison."
"The NPC hopes that all departing athletes can give their best achievements to make the nation and country proud," said Sonny during a virtual inauguration and release press conference for the Indonesian contingent for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic, Saturday, August 14.

Based on a report from the Indonesian National Paralympic Committee (NPC), the 7 sports that the representatives of the country will participate in are badminton, table tennis, athletics, cycling, swimming, shooting, and powerlifting.
Athletics and badminton are the sports that send the most Indonesian representatives to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. There are at least 7 badminton and athletic athletes who are ready to make the nation proud at the four-yearly sporting event.
Then Indonesia sent 3 athletes in table tennis, 2 representatives in swimming and shooting, and 1 each in cycling and powerlifting.
Some of the names sent to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics are the best Indonesian athletes who have previously excelled, either at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympics or the 2018 Asian Para Games. For example, swimmers Syuci Indriani and Jendi Pangabean who won medals at the 2018 Asian Para Games.
A total of 23 Indonesian athletes who will appear at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics are quite a lot. Because in the previous edition, namely at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympics, Indonesia could only send nine athletes who played in 4 sports.
