According to him, sports parties, both disabled and the general public, cannot be distinguished. The sports caste is the same, the prestigious is the same, the goals and objectives of the organization are the same. "Everyone has the opportunity to develop and achieve achievements, including friends with disabilities who in Asian and world sports events always achieve proud achievements," he said.
He added that disabled friends can be the best version of each of them while breaking all the impossibility that has been pinned to them so far. "We are indeed focused on developing the world of sports in Indonesia, including sports for people with disabilities," he said.
Prof. Shamsul Azhar Shah gives an overview of the classification of badminton. He explained that in sports, athletes are grouped based on the level of activity limitation due to disease to a certain extent, similar to grouping athletes based on gender or weight.
The classification aims to minimize the impact of interference on athlete performance and sporting excellence. In addition, so that the competition is fairer and the event is more competitive. He added, athletes who are eligible to compete in the sport are grouped. The reason is because sport demands different activities, the impact of injury on each sport is also different.
Furthermore, another benefit of classification is knowing classes and practices. After getting used to the sports class, athletes can see the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent. "Training according to limitations, especially for coaches, knowing what to improve under conditions of limitations, the knowledge behind those conditions is very important," he added.
There are three classification steps that need to be known. First, the athletes are classified by groups that work together in groups of two or three groups. Second, evaluate an athlete with a classification panel that considers the athlete's process, injury and evaluation. Third, meet the minimum criteria for sports and classes suitable for athletes.
In addition, there are qualifying distractions in badminton competitions. “These disorders such as hypertonia, ataxia, athetosis, limbs and others. Health conditions that cause hypertonia are not limited to cerebral palsy (CP), stroke, brain injury, multiple sclerosis,” he said.

"Indonesia itself is targeting approximately 104 gold medals. This is our common target and hopefully it will be achieved through hard work, our shared commitment," he hoped. [UNESA PR]
