Malang City weightlifting coach, Muslimin said that Malang City will act as the host for the weightlifting branch of sport along with 36 other sports, 32 sports in Malang Regency 32 sports, and 15 sports in Batu City.

"Malang City Weightlifting has prepared the five best lifters. They are Queena Pambayun, Nur Aisah Putri Salwa, M. Humam Zaky Azis, M. Ali Khan Ridlo, M. Dhymas Syaputra," explained Muslimin, Friday (17/1/2025).

Muslimin said, from the five lifters prepared, his party hopes to win three gold medals from M. Humam Zaky Azis. This is based on previous experience where in Porprov XIII Zaky presented three gold medals from the weightlifting branch.

In addition to the five lifters currently being prepared, Muslimin admitted that Malang City also has a lifter, M. Wafa Alaudin, who has potential but has yet to be included in the Malang City weightlifting team. Wafa in the previous Porprov managed to contribute one bronze medal for Malang City.

Regarding the map of the opponent's strength that will be faced later, from Muslimin's observation, Kediri City will be a tough opponent for Malang City's weightlifting in the upcoming IX Porprov. This is because the regeneration of athletes in Kediri City is very good, and also the coaching of weightlifting athletes is the key to their success.
"Actually, I have contacted KONI Malang City and the Malang City Education and Culture Office to look for a lifter, but the results so far are still nil," explained Muslimin.

According to Muslimin, this is because the children's great interest in weightlifting is still very lacking, some have only participated in training a few times but then did not continue because they could not withstand the rigors of the training process. That is why his party is currently maximizing the existing athletes so that they can achieve more in every championship they participate in. (cah/yn)
