JAKARTA - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo said the commemoration of the 2022 National Sports Day (Haornas) was a momentum and enthusiasm to produce outstanding athletes. This PDI-P politician encourages each region to develop sustainable sport tourism.

"Of course this is enthusiasm. So I tried dialogue with young people, the younger generation, who have sports talent, sports talent, or sports hobbies. One, maintain health. Two, excel. Now this achievement is what we are trying to direct to become athletes and fly Sang Saka Merah Putih," said Ganjar, Saturday, September 10.

Ganjar said he was happy because Haornas this year could be celebrated openly. The enthusiasm of the students, athletes, and the people who attended also gave encouragement. Moreover, Haornas this time is located in Solo (Surakarta) which has a long history in the world of sports in Indonesia.

Starting from the first PON to the last, the ASEAN Para Games which was shocking.

"When not too many achievements in the field of sports, suddenly the ASEAN Para Games shocked and it was held in Solo. The time is very short and we exceed the existing target, including the overall champion," he explained.

To produce the outstanding athlete, Ganjar has asked the Central Java KONI to create a sports information system. This system can be used for talent scouting for children who have great talent in the field of sports.

Including recording outstanding athletes in order to get attention related to their future, both on the economic side and welfare side.

If we continue to pay attention to this, we can see the targets of the events they will face. This is the achievement we are starting to record, we calculate, and we foster them. So we encourage those who are young to want to achieve their goals, if they win, we give them a recommendation. Earlier, many wanted to become TNI-POLRI, employees, ASN, maybe we gave them a better future so that their future would be much better," he explained.

At this Haornas kal commemoration, Ganjar gave awards to outstanding Central Java athletes, both nationally and internationally. They are Kiromal Katibin (rock climbing athlete) who is also a world record-breaking climber for the fast climbing class, Safira Dwi Meilani (silat pencak silat athlete), Suryo Nugroho (badminton athlete), and Famini (a athletic athlete).

"This is important to pay attention to our athletes because they have given achievements, they are proud, cooking without rewards. That's what matters," said Ganjar.

In terms of coaching, Ganjar is preparing a plan to revive schools that can accommodate athletes. The regulatory side is being worked out so that everything can be accommodated. However, in principle everyone can, because every athlete who has talent needs special treatment.

"It's different from the general one. So if we see whether it's art, in sports, whether it's design, they can compete, but they have to be accompanied in terms of education. So I'm open," he said.

Ganjar also encourages regions in Central Java to create and develop sports tourism. Related to this, Ganjar focuses on areas that continue or carry out sports tourism many times, not just once.

Regulation regarding the development of sports tourism in this area is also being designed by the Central Java Province Youth, Sports and Tourism Office (Dinporapar).

"I ask the Dinporapar to make regulations, there are at least three criteria. Whether to carry out a continuous minimum of three years in a row, so that this can be used as a calendar event so that the area is pleasant to be used as an area that is indeed creative to create sports tourism. For example, Magelang is ready, maybe in Solo it can also be done," he said in his statement.
