The Youth Olympics is an extraordinary opportunity for athletes. Although not many 12 athletes, God willing, we will remain optimistic," said Ita at the Aquatic Stadium, Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta, Friday, while monitoring the preparations of swimmer Michelle Surjadi Fang.
He explained that the medal target is still being discussed and therefore cannot be announced yet. However, in principle, it will follow the government's target.
At the world's largest youth multi-sport event in Dakar, Senegal, from October 31 to November 13, Indonesia sent 12 athletes, six boys and six girls.
Ita explained that her team had begun preparations by visiting athletes and sports administrators to ensure they were ready to compete in the event.
In addition to monitoring the athletes' preparations, he has also communicated with the Indonesian Ambassador to Senegal to discuss weather conditions and other matters.
