Kormi Papua Target 10 Besar di Fornas VI Sumsel Palembang

JAYAPURA - Komite Olahraga Rekreasi Masyarakat Indonesia (KORMI) Papua saat ini tengah mempersiapkan para atlet untuk berlaga pada Festival Olahraga Rekreasi Nasional (FORNAS) ke VI, di Palembang Sumatera Selatan, 1 - 7 Juli 2022 mendatang.

Sejumlah agenda persiapan diantaranya pelaksanaan workshop pegiat olahraga masyarakat Kormi Papua pada Jumat (10/6/2022) dan Festival Olahraga Rekreasi Provinsi (Forprov) Kormi pada Sabtu (11/6/2022) esok.

Sekretaris Kormi Papua Simson Rumbiak kepada wartawan mengatakan sejumlah persiapan terus dilakukan demi mencapai target tinggi yang diusung pengurus. Dimana, Kormi Papua tak mau kalah dengan prestasi yang dicapai atlet PON dan Peparnas.

Kormi Papua, lanjut dia, memasang target tinggi untuk bisa masuk 10 besar di klasemen perolehan medali. Sebab pada pagelaran Fornas KORMI di Samarinda 2019 lalu, kontingen Papua bertengger di urutan 12 perolehan medali.

"Target kita di tahun ini harus masuk 10 besar. Sebab kita nantinya hadir dengan persiapan yang matang dan seleksi ketat pada setiap jenis olahraga rekreasi yang dipertandingkan," terang Simson Rumbiak, Jumat di, Jayapura.

Sementara menyoal pelaksanaan seleksi atlet di Forprov Kormi Papua, Simson memastikan hanya diikuti oleh pegiat dari kabupaten dan kota terdekat. Sementara Kabupaten Kepulauan Yapen dan Nabire mengkorfirmasi sebagai daerah terjauh yang rencananya mengikuti seleksi.

"Tapi kedepan tentu kita harapkan kalau setiap kabupaten bisa ada keterwakilan. Namun tentunya wajib ikut seleksi ketat pada semua jenis olahraga yang dipertandingkan," tandasnya. ***

JAYAPURA - Indonesian Community Recreation Sports Committee (KORMI) Papua is currently preparing athletes to compete at the VI National Recreational Sports Festival (FORNAS), in Palembang, South Sumatra, 1 - 7 July 2022.

A number of preparatory agendas include the implementation of a workshop for sports activists of the KORMI Papua community on Friday (10/6/2022) and the Provincial Recreational Sports Festival (Forprov) of KORMI on Saturday (11/6/2022) tomorrow.

The Secretary of KORMI Papua, Samson Rumbiak told reporters that a number of preparations continue to be made to achieve the high targets carried out by the management. KORMI Papua does not want to be outdone by the achievements achieved by PON and PEPARNAS athletes.

KORMI Papua, he continued, set a high target to be able to enter the top 10 in the medal standings. Because at the FORNAS KORMI performance in Samarinda 2019, the Papuan contingent was perched in 12th place in the medals.

"Our target this year should be to be in the top 10. Because we will come with careful preparation and strict selection in every type of recreational sports that are competed," explained Simson Rumbiak, Friday in Jayapura.

While questioning the implementation of athlete selection at FORPROV KORMI Papua, Samson ensured that it was only followed by activists from nearby districts and cities. Meanwhile, Yapen and Nabire Islands Districts corroborated it as the farthest area that was planned to participate in the selection.

"But in the future, of course, we hope that every district can have representation. It is mandatory to participate in a strict selection in all types of sports that will be competed," he said. ***
