Minggu, 22 Juli 2012, 19:57

VIVAnews - Kontingen Olimpiade Indonesia bertolak ke London pada Senin dini hari, 23 Juli 2012. Mereka siap berlaga di pesta olahraga se-dunia itu, yang digelar selama 27 Juli-12 Agustus 2012. Segenap doa pun menyertai para atlet.

Sebelum berangkat, beberapa atlet mengikuti acara buka puasa bersama di kantor Komite Olimpiade Indonesia (KOI), Senayan, Jakarta, petang tadi. Acara ini juga dihadiri oleh Sekjen KOI, Timbul Thomas Lubis, dan Menteri Pemuda dan Olahraga, Andi Mallarangeng.

"Hari ini kita akan memberangkatkan para atlet ke Olimpiade 2012. Mudah-mudahan ketika mereka kembali, kita tetap berbangga hati. Mudah-mudahan kita mendengar lagu Indonesia Raya dan mereka mengibarkan bendera merah-putih di London. Kita doakan para atlet agar berjuang semaksimal mungkin," kata Timbul.

Sementara itu, Menpora menyambut bahagia bertambahnya satu atlet Indonesia ke Olimpiade. Dia adalah atlet judo, I Putu Wiradamungga Adesta. "Kami bergembira ada satu lagi tambahan atlet Indonesia ke sana. Jadi, total ada 22 atlet dari 8 cabang olahraga," ucap Andi Mallarangeng.

Barusan nonton bentar di TV, agak kurang wah menurut saya untuk ukuran Olimpiade.
Lebih heboh pembukaan SEA Games kemarin IMHO

[Erran]

Menurut schedule cabang panahan individual putra-putri memasuki ranking round tanggal 27 Juli kemarin, satu2nya wakil Indonesia di cabang ini, Rochmawati Ika Yuliana berada di peringkat 40 dari 64 atlet yang bertanding. Korea merajai di kedua nomer tersebut. WOW

pembukaan berisi cerita sejarah Ingris, mungkin bagi org Ingris atau eropa sangat menarik
gw kagum ama lapangan yg dibuat seolah olah amburadul tapi gw yakin akan tetap mulus setelah acara.

gw lebih suka acara pembukaan di beijing (mungkin karena gw suka film dan musik mandarin)

cheers

[rilham2new]

Indonesia cuman bisa ngirim 22 atlet :P,, bandingkn sama negara tetangga di Selatan Indonesia yang bisa memgirim 400-an atlet...

Apresiasi masyarakatnya dan juga dunia media nya dlam olimpiade sangat tinggi. Iklan2 TV bernuansa olimpiade wara-wiri dengan menjadikan atlit lokal sebagai model iklan.

Wahh kapan ya Indonesia bisa sampai ke tahap olimpiade soal pengembangan olahraga.

Indonesian athletes look beyond Olympic glory
By Karishma Vaswani

Early morning practice on the courts, and already the sweat is pouring down the faces of the Indonesian Olympic badminton team players.

Everyone is hard at work, getting ready for the big day in London.

Grunts fill the air as coaches whack the delicate white shuttlecock back and forth to players on the other side of the net, in what seem like endless rallies.

The pressure is on the young men and women in this team to bring back at least one medal.

Indonesia is a gold medal contender in the Olympics only because of badminton.

Quality athletes

It comes as a surprise to many in the sporting world the world's fourth most populous nation does not compete in more events at the Olympics.

But what is even more worrying is that over the years, fewer and fewer athletes in this country have qualified for the Olympics. This year, only 22 Indonesians are heading to the UK to compete.

Arguably, what Indonesia has failed to deliver in terms of quantity, it has made up for in quality - at least since badminton was included in the games in 1992. Indonesia has won at least one gold medal every Olympics since then.

But this year there have been concerns that Indonesia would not do as well as it has in the past, having lost some key tournaments ahead of the games.

"We're hoping that we won't let anyone down," said Lilyana Natsir, part of the mixed doubles pair that Indonesians are hoping will bring in the gold medal this year.

"It is a tough competition, but we are grateful for the support of the public, and we will do our best."

But optimism amongst the young athletes remains high. The previous generation of Indonesia's Olympians has expressed worries that because of the government's lack of development in sports and inefficient management, the prized medals may be out of reach for Indonesia's badminton team this year.

Ask any Indonesian about badminton victories, and chances are that the names Alan Budikusuma and Susi Susanti will come up.

The two are national heroes - Indonesia's golden couple.

The married duo won Indonesia's first gold medals for badminton in the 1992 Olympics - a huge moment of pride for Indonesians and one that many still remember.

'No support'

These days the superstar couple run a badminton club where amongst other children, they also teach their own kids.

"I will always support my childrens' interest in badminton, but only as a hobby," Susi said, as she cast a critical parental eye on her three children practicing on the courts.

"They should focus on their studies. There is still no future in sports. I want a secure future for my children."

Harsh words from one of Indonesia's former Olympians, and surprising given that Alan and Susi were some of the lucky ones.

But Susi said that the government must do more to protect the future of Olympic sports like badminton in Indonesia.

"I don't think the current players get enough support from the government," she said.

"When you decide to become a badminton player in Indonesia, you are basically giving up your life. You have to think about your future on your own, the way that my husband and I did after we retired and started our own business. The government here will only look after you while you're on the courts."

Those kinds of sentiments are shared by some of today's athletes too, and are inevitably having an impact on how Indonesians view pro-sports as a career choice.

Practical prospects

Lilyana Natsir says she has to remain practical about her prospects after she hangs up her racket.

Mr Thohir said Indonesia was working to provide more benefits to its athletes
"In other countries like China and Korea, medallists get a pension and some help from the government after they retire," she said.

"But here in Indonesia, it's not like that. So I haven't been foolish, I've used my money wisely with the help of my mum to make investments. In Indonesia you have to focus on competing and also worry about your financial future."

Indonesian officials know morale is low, which is why they are promising more incentives for Olympic medallists now than ever before.

"I have a tough job, I know that," Erick Thohir, chief mission of the Indonesian Olympics team said.

"I have to build the spirit of the team, which is why you'll see me cheering them on at all times

"But I've also been working hard over the last couple of months to support our future medallists, to ensure that they get the bonus money they're supposed to, and also to ensure that they get insurance until they are 75 years old."

Back on the courts, Alan is drilling the basics of badminton into his nine-year-old son.

He is not planning on letting his son go pro, but it takes this kind of nurturing to produce a world class athlete.

Indonesia needs to groom its next generation of shuttlers, so it can continue to go for gold.

Bedanya Sepak Bola dan Sepak Terjang apa ya?

Semoga Indonesia meneruskan tradisi emas..
dari bulutangkis ada harapan di XD, sukur-sukur angkat beban juga nambahin emas..hehe


By the way,
Indonesia itu negara dengan populasi terbanyak ke-4 dunia dengan 250 juta penduduk...
tapi cuma berhasil kirim 22 atlet ke Olimpiade....
kalah daru Thailand (47 klo gak sala),Malaysia 30,bahkan SINGAPORE 23 atlet...
duh,harusnya Indonesia bisa kirim >100 atlet...!!

[rilham2new]

Yup, that's disappointing... Karena bagi petinggi negara kita... Ngapain ngirim kalau gk bakal dapat emas. Padahal poinnya adalah di pengalaman. Tpi ya mmg bukan hanya soal itu, kita juga bisa jadi tidak lolos dari seleksi awal menuju London (pra-kualifikasi).

Atau kemungkinan terburuk ya, negara kita mmg tidk mengirim siapa-siapa bahkan dari tahap pra-kualifikasi....

[~MELVINDONESIA~]

Tahun 2000 Indonesia mengirim 47 atlet..
saat itu kontingen Indonesia paling besar se-Asia Tenggara
Bingung,kenapa makin kesini malah makin menurun ya? 22 atlet,bahkan setengahnya pun ngga sampe..
Padahal KONI menargetkan mengiirm 50 atlet ke Olimpiade 2012..ckck..

[rilham2new]

Tahun 2000 olimpiade nya di Sydney... Dekat banget dari negara kita, wajar lah bisa ngirim banyak2... Kali lebih murah biayanya.

Btw, karena terlalu kecilnya tim yang kita kirim, dalam opening ceremony pun lebih kayak tim penggembura.... Tidak ada tnda2 kalau kita negara besar atau anggota G-20....

Mungkin pmerintah kita tidak peduli, tapi berhubung sy peduli... sy tungguin sampe tim Indonesia keluar, sy rekam video HIgh-Def nya. Sy screen capture... Tp gk puas, karena tim nya sedikit, jadi yaa porsi yang keluar di layar kaca juga sedikit, bahkan sebagian dipotong untuk tim India

Dan memang hanya 4 scene itulah yang keluar di TV.... Lebih dari itu nothing... Mmg berasa tim kecil banget lah.. harap2 prestasi besar deh....

[ahmadYR]

Pembukaannya keren bgt.. Kalo megah emang Beijing, tapi jalan ceritanya lebih suka yg di London sekarang.

Kontingen dari negara2 Asean bentar bgt di shot nya...


Mudah2an Kontingen Merah Putih dapat menunjukan prestasi yg lebih baik dari sebelumnya...

[rilham2new]

Yoi,,, dari segi konsep London jauh lebih bagus, dan modern dan Less Abstract... Ceritanya bagus banget... Transisi dari kawasan pedesaan, revolusi industri, sampai ke era IT dengan gadget dan social network.

Benar2 konsep yang bagus.

[peseg5]

Nanti setelah kampung atlet hambalang jadi, mungkin bisa mengirim ratusan atlet...

[ahmadYR]

@rilham2new bner bgt broo konsepnya luar biasa bgt... Ditambah orang2 besar yg ikut andil dlm upacara tsb kaya Beckham, Moh. Ali, Ban Ki Moon, Bond, Elizbeth dan yg gk disangka2 itu ada Rowan Atkinson.. gw terharu bgt istilahnya liat si Rowan..

@peseg5 amiin mudah2n..

[ahmadYR]

Gw sangat berharap sekali China dapat mempertahankan juara umum, di tengah Indonesia yg hanya menargetkan 1 emas.. setidaknya kita bangga bangsa Asia dapat berprestasi tinggi
