Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA-The leadership of the State University of Surabaya (UNESA) attended the opening of the Disway Open Wushu Championship (DOWC) on Friday, March 25, 2022 at Graha UNESA, Unesa Campus Street, Lidah Wetan, Lakarsantri, Surabaya. The championship for the East Java Governor's Cup was attended by 500 athletes from 30 East Java and Bali gyms.
The offline championships will last until March 27, 2022. Secretary General of the Indonesian Wushu Executive Board (PBWI), Ngatino said that it is good that championships like this should be held frequently to motivate athletes.
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, he continued, the championship was held virtually. Nevertheless, the enthusiasm of the athletes was very high. Of the athletes involved, almost 50 percent were from East Java. "This is an extraordinary potential and we must continue to accommodate it, so that this sporting talent will grow, develop rapidly and bear fruit," he said.
He added that the more they compete and practice, the more athletes' abilities will improve, so that it is hoped that there will be more and more people who can be relied on in national and even international competitions. "This activity is very important, so it motivates our athletes to practice and achieve achievements. Hopefully this event will run smoothly and have a good match," he said.
