OLYMPIC TRADITION
Indonesia has won 16 total medals since breaking through with silver in women's team archery in 1988. When the Indonesians beat the United States in a shoot-off for second place in '88, coach Donald Pandiangan said: "It is a silver, but for us it is more than 100 gold medals, it is more than even a gold mine." In 1992 Indonesia won five of the 16 medals awarded in badminton's debut as a full medal sport, including the men's and women's singles titles. Badminton is wildly popular in Indonesia; tournaments draw large crowds and sometimes offer six-figure prize money. Indonesia won six medals in 2000, three in badminton and three in women's weightlifting.

OLYMPIC LEGENDS
Allan Budi Kusuma and then-girlfriend (now wife) Susi Susanti won Indonesia's first gold medals in 1992, two hours apart in badminton singles. (She won first.) They returned to Jakarta as national heroes, and a car with a giant shuttlecock led the parade. They also received $200,000 apiece.

ATHENS OUTLOOK
Though not the power it once was, Indonesia still figures to be a factor in badminton at the Athens Games. After badminton, Indonesia's next best chance for medals will be in women's weightlifting, though it won just a single silver at the 2003 World Championships.

Olimpic i think the most acurate and fair way to determine which country is the strongest. It's telling us the most common sport in the world to be competed not like SEA games it's all depend on host country. in SEA games if the sport is not common for host country they just eliminate that from the list. and will put some sport that never heard of to be competed for gold medal.

(IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) for Indonesia

[purnomor]

^ yeah i've always think sea games is kinda dodgy bcoz the host almost always wins the most medals even if during the previous games they weren't good at all (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

[Nusantara]

That's the thing now whenever one country become the host of Sea games they most likely will become the highest medal.
And they climb they are the strongest??
In the future there's should be parallel standarisation the sport competed in SEA games and in Olimpic.

Taufik better win gold in Athens! (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/embarassedlaugh.gif) I love watching his matches....so damn good.

[Nusantara]

I never heard about his match lately does he quit from indonesian badminton player and change proffesion become trainer for singapore national team?, that is rumour i heard. Singapore perhaps could pay him more just for trainer so he no need daily excercise to practice at senayan.

[purnomor]

^ no, that's his coach. Taufik is still Indonesian player

[e_vaholic]

taufik is back! he was in singapore for a few months after that..as you saw at piala thomas..he played for indonesia..but unfortunately..we lost the game..

[dalawapo]

they were talking about indonesia while the indonesian gov was not going to air the olympics... but one company agreed to air the olympics in cable, but many ppl in indonesia do not have cable!

[purnomor]

no no its not the indo govt who dont wanna air the olympics, generally olympics is aired by private TV station RCTI since barcelona '92. however, RCTI always suffer financial loss each time it airs the olympics (barcelona '92, atlanta '96, sydney '00) so this year the station dont buy olympic rights anymore. none of other tv stations are interested either bcoz low interst from advertisers and also from audience, while the airing rights are quite expensive. so only a cable channel wanna buy the right.. its all based on commercial considerations

[mamapeace]

lets hope indonesia can get at least 1 gold!!

[purnomor]

^ agree! (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

[dalawapo]
