VIVA – Chairman of the Indonesian Wushu Executive Board (PB WI), Airlangga Hartarto, did not stop fighting for the Wing Chun number to be competed in the XXI North Sumatra-Aceh 2024 PON. He asked for support from the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora) and the Central Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI).
The request for support was conveyed by Airlangga to Menpora Zainudin Amali and the General Chair of the Central KONI, Marciano Norman during the opening ceremony of the VII Indonesian Wushu National Conference (Munas) which was held in Jakarta, yesterday.
