If successful, awards and prizes also seem to be a match in itself. Likewise, the success of Malang City racers in the Sea Games and weightlifting in the Provincial Sports Week apparently received a lot of appreciation.
If previously successful athletes and coaches received millions of rupiah in prizes from the government, now it is the turn of Malang's local TV, Damma TV, to give expectations. Indeed, it is not in the form of money, but a live broadcast for one hour to exploit the success stories of Malang City athletes and coaches, Tuesday (13/12).
Secretary of KONI Malang City, Sumartoyo expressed his pleasure at the appreciation from TV stations in Malang City that will broadcast the success of athletes and coaches from this city. The existence of this activity will clearly increase the confidence of athletes and coaches to be able to achieve higher achievements.
"After the cycling and weightlifting branches have been exposed, I am sure that other sports branches under the auspices of KONI Malang City will be more enthusiastic to be able to follow in the footsteps of success," explained Martoyo, Tuesday (13/12).
With this kind of activity, Sumartoyo also hopes that athletes, coaches, and sports instructors in Malang City will become more accustomed to facing journalists' cameras. So that whenever they will communicate with the media, they will no longer be nervous, like artists on TV.
Malang City cycling coach, Sugeng Trihartono admitted that the many awards along with the achievements achieved by the cycling branch so far were a surprise in themselves. With this award, his party is increasingly motivated to be able to print various better achievements.
"The current success should not make us easily satisfied, therefore in addition to developing racers who have become. The development of reserve athletes under them must also be intensified," said Sugeng. (cah/dmb)
