Weightlifting Federation Gives Free Houses to Olympic Silver Medalists
Jakarta. The Indonesian Weightlifting Federation, or Pabbsi, has made good on its promise to give free houses to Indonesia's two silver medalists at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Sri Wahyuni and Eko Yuli Irawan.
Pabbsi gave the promised Olympic bonus during its two-day national meeting at Century Hotel in Senayan, South Jakarta, which began on Tuesday (20/12).
"Today we deliver on our promise. This is a sign of support for our high-achieving athletes," Pabbsi chairman Rosan Roeslani said.
"We hope this token of appreciation can inspire other weightlifters to achieve maximum results at two major upcoming events, the 2018 Asian Games and 2020 Tokyo Olympics," he added.
Pabbsi also gave an award to Sri Hartati, a powerlifting athlete who has won five World Championship gold medals, including one in Orlando, United States, in November.
