I
t was a regular Monday morning at the office of Eminence, the Indonesian sports performance enhancement center (SPPOI), in Central Jakarta.
The center, which was established in July, is the Youth and Sports Ministry’s business unit that caters not only to athletes but also the public in general.
Some attendees were seen working out using the gym facilities, from honing their endurance on the treadmill to building their muscles with weight training, inside the building that day.
However, for national tennis player Beatrice Gumulya, it was not the usual Monday gym time as she came to the center to undergo a thorough assessment, part of her preparations ahead of her participation in next month’s Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in the Philippines.
Beatrice, ranked 174th in Women Tennis Association (WTA) doubles, laid out her left knee injury situation to Andi Kurniawan, a sports physician, prior to the assessment.
“During a tournament in China in May, I made an explosive movement on the court as I was originally squatting but then suddenly standing up. Right after that, I felt that my left knee had lost its power,” she told The Jakarta Post earlier before the examination.
