Thank You for Your Struggle, Indonesian Athletes!

A total of 1,021 Indonesian athletes competed in the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand, successfully securing 91 gold medals. Indonesia concluded its journey by finishing in second place in the final medal tally, below the host country, Thailand.

This success is supported by the dominance of several sports that emerged as overall champions. Among them are archery, which contributed 6 gold medals and 2 bronze, badminton with 3 gold, 3 silver, and 4 bronze, as well as triathlon with 7 gold, 3 silver, and 1 bronze.

"This achievement demonstrates that the development of Indonesian athletes is heading in the right direction. There are records, there is regeneration, and there is a new history. This becomes an important asset towards the next international sports agenda, the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games 2026 and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics," said the Chairman of the Indonesian Olympic Committee, Raja Sapta Oktohari.

However, the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand is not just about medals and final rankings. This sporting event is also about the struggles of athletes who push beyond their limits, compete while injured, and even race while pregnant.

They strive to achieve their highest accomplishments for the first time, breaking SEA Games records as well as world records, maintaining their achievements, assisting sports branches in securing the overall champion status, and dedicating their successes to disaster victims.

Thank you for that wholehearted effort!
