The Jakarta Gymnastics Organizing Committee (JAGOC) on Friday (Sept. 26) held a joint prayer for Naufal Takdir Al Bari, a promising Indonesian gymnast who passed away a day earlier at G.A. Zakharyin Hospital in Penza, Russia.
President of the Indonesian Gymnastics Federation Ita Yuliati said the team remains committed to giving their best performance at the championship despite the grief over Naufal’s passing.
“Naufal dreamed of competing at the Olympics. Let’s pray for him once again, and continue to support our gymnasts, whatever the outcome. In such a difficult time, simply being able to stand and perform is already a blessing,” Ita said.
