The Indonesian Olympic Committee is once again presenting the Olympic Movement in Action to spread the Olympic spirit in the country.
This annual event, a reference event of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), aims to encourage active and healthy lifestyles and expand sports participation.
This year it was held at Gelora Bung Karno Madya Stadium and Gelora Bung Karno West Plaza, Jakarta, Friday, with five exhibition branches, namely archery, athletics, 3x3 basketball, skateboarding, and padel.
"Today, the IOC Indonesia, together with stakeholders and our friends from the media, is here to launch the Olympic Day activities," said NOC Executive Committee member Harry Warganegara, representing NOC Chairman Raja Sapta Oktohari, at the opening of OMIA on Friday.
"Later, we will present our national athletes, as well as prominent figures, some of whom have already become Olympians and are also champions in other multi-event events," he said.
He hopes this event will be a platform to encourage the younger generation to excel and practice, both at national and international levels.
This activity was held thanks to the collaboration of the Indonesian NOC with various sports federations, which was fully supported by the Gelora Bung Karno Area Management Center (PPK GBK) which provided the facilities and venue.
The role of the Indonesian NOC is to coordinate with the IOC, introduce Olympic and new sports that have the potential to develop in Indonesia, and bring athletes closer to the community through coaching clinics, friendly matches, and interactive sessions.
