Indonesia's champion hurdler Emilia Nova started training again at the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Arena's Madya Stadium in Jakarta on Friday after months of absence through injury. 

The 24-year-old is preparing for the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines with her long-time coach, Fitri "Ongky" Haryadi.

Two years ago at the SEA Games in Malaysia, Emil brought home a silver medal in the heptathlon. This year she wants to win the gold medal in her favorite event, the women's 100-meter hurdles.

Jakarta-born Emil's personal best in the individual event is 13.33 seconds, recorded when she finished second after South Korean champion Jung Hye-lim at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta.
