T

he Indonesian contingent to the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games being held in the Philippines has bagged several more medals, securing four gold medals, three silver and four bronze, solidifying its fourth-place position, with a total of 72 medals, comprising 17 golds, 26 silvers and 29 bronzes.

However, the pursuit of glory was tainted by the fact that the indoor hockey team was denied admission to the competition because of an ongoing conflict between two hockey associations.

Indonesian bowlers presented two gold medals with the first from Billy Muhammad Islam and Hardy Rachmadian, who secured a total of 2,592 points in the doubles, leaving their closest contenders from Thailand, the Atchariya Cheng-Surasak Manuwong pair, 28 points behind.

The Malaysian pair of Muhammad Rafiq Ismail and Al Hakim Tun Lukman, who collected 2,556 points, came in third.

The second gold was presented by the Sharon Adelina Liman Santoso-Tannya Roumimper pair, who also competed in the doubles category.

In the badminton arena, Indonesia’s men were able to uphold their undefeated domination of the category since 2007. The shuttlers secured their target, a gold medal from the men’s group category on Wednesday, as they defeated archrival Malaysia 3-1. Jonatan Christie started the winning momentum by beating Lee Zii Jia 21-9, 21-17.

Jonatan’s victory was then solidified by two more victories delivered respectively by Anthony Sini Suka Ginting, who defeated Soong Joo Ven 13-21, 21-15, 21-18 in 69 minutes. The third victory was achieved through men’s doubles pair Wahyu Nayaka Arya Pankaryanira and Ade Yusuf, who beat the pair of Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi 21-16, 21-19.
