JAKARTA - The Indonesian swimming team has a target of winning six to seven gold medals at the 2021 SEA Games. There are four numbers with huge potential.
"The greatest potential is in the four events, namely the 50 meters and 200 meters backstroke for men, and 400 meters for the men's and women's medley," said the head coach of the Indonesian swimming team, Albert C. Sutanto, as reported by Antara.
In the men's 50 meter backstroke, Indonesia will field I Gede Siman Sudartawa who won a gold medal at the Philippines SEA Games in 2019. At that time, Siman was the only Red and White swimmer who contributed gold after recording a time of 25.12 seconds.
While the men's 200m backstroke, Albert said he would field Farrell Armandio Tangkas. Then in the 400 meter men's medley, there was the name Aflah Fadlan Prawira and for the women, Azzahra Permatahani was the mainstay.
Albert also said that the Indonesian swimming team could not participate in all the competition numbers at the 2021 SEA Games. With a strength of 16 teams, his party could only go down in 35 of the 40 existing numbers.
"Actually, we hope that the number of athletes sent is above 20. So that the relay numbers can also win medals," said Albert
Since the beginning, PRSI has prepared 22 athletes for the 31st edition of the biggest sporting event in Southeast Asia. However, they only got a quota of 16 athletes from the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora).
