Malang City gymnastics coach, Anna Mairatna revealed that after Porprov VII, they are now concentrating on appearing in Porprov VIII. Because currently Malang City only has a year to face Porprov VIII which will be held in Jombang Regency, Mojokerto Regency, Mojokerto City, and Sidoarjo Regency.
"Porprov VII is the implementation of the porprov that was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. According to the schedule, Porprov VIII will be held in June 2023," explained Anna, Monday (1/8/2022).
