Had Hijrah Bela Denpasar for National Champion
The clock is already pointing to the hour 20.05. The flow of traffic on the streets has started to quiet down. Especially, the rain continued to flush even though only lightly that night. The night breeze is increasingly adding to the residents choosing to take shelter inside the house. However, the situation that night did not seem to apply to one corner of the GGM Dusun Resomulyo housing complex,Wetan Tile Village, Tile District. Because, every night the location was never empty.
Yes, of course, one corner of the housing area not far from the bridge known as Sasak Mayit is always busy due to table tennis practice activities. Ranging from young people to the elders practicing in turns. Juniors only, table tennis training is not just about finding a sweat. Because, indeed practicing table tennis is in the pure pursuit of achievement.
Otherwise, for parents, local residents only enliven the special event that night, a number of small tennis players enthusiastically practice. Especially, at that time they received knowledge directly from a coach from Surabaya. The opportunity was not wasted by the four junior tennis players from various age groups. In between practicing, a number of residents seemed to watch with expressions full of tension.
Even, Occasionally a group of residents shook their heads. Some of the residents who were watching while drinking coffee chattered. “Why are good kids like this allowed to exist?,” joked the residents at that time. Of course, one of the four children has indeed won many medals in various events. Not just the regional level, but has penetrated the national scale. He is Riky Sadewa Bimantara.
Many trophies have become private collections in his house. no doubt, The prestige of this sixth grade elementary school student is undeniable in Bumi Blambangan. His skill in playing ping pong ball on the table is unquestionable. Result, the youngest son of the husband and wife (couple) Agus Nursalim, 41, Goddess Okta Indarsih, 37, it performed okay in various championships, both local and national level.
Every time you take part in a championship event, The biological younger brother of Sultan Ali Sadewa almost never fails to win. In addition to having talent since childhood, he consistently trains. The training portion lasted until late at night. The routine training aims to hone skills. But it turned out that hard training was not enough. Because, with heavy training, body condition can be exhausted.
Nah, to maintain stamina so as not to be sluggish in the morning, so the two brothers regularly consume milk. The milk is drunk post-exercise. All of this obviously requires a lot of money. But, all the sacrifices will not be in vain. Because, all that hard work really paid off. This achievement clearly raised the name of Banyuwangi as the city of its birth. His work in the world of table tennis is indeed successful.
However, who would have thought, he never brought Banyuwangi's banner in a national level championship. He chose to strengthen PTM Rajawali, PTMSI Denpasar, Bali, in the Se Open Table Tennis championship- Indonesia is fighting over the 15th Regents Cup which was launched in Singaraja, Bali. Result, he managed to be the best in the event that was held some time ago. Thus, the achievements he made clearly brought the name Denpasar, not Banyuwangi. Why did the original son of Gandrung City choose to defend other regions?
Because, Banyuwangi absent in the event. even though, this event is very meaningful in order to continue to hone flying hours. “Because Banyuwangi doesn't participate, my son was offered Denpasar. Without thinking, I just follow and win,said Agus Nursalim, parents of Riky Sadewa Bimantara. according to her, Actually there are many potential table tennis athletes in Banyuwangi. It is just, little is known about their progress. “Banyuwangi is a warehouse for athletes. Emaneman if you die," he concluded. (radar)
