So far 4 finalist with 5 possibility I consider it as a success. Looking forward in the near future on senior stages for Pitha, Siti Fadia and Ribka Sugiarto. They have potential and great material for it
This week, 10 players of Indonesia will have a 7-days training camp in Kumamoto, Japan. This is a part of interchange program between Indonesia and Japan.

@Cunning Linguist Nice photo! Thanks. I saw 2 different teams in black/yellow jackets and white jackets. Are they junior team and senior team from Saishunkan club?
Saishunkan is exklusively a women's team. I suppose the boys in yellow/black are from a local high school/badminton club. The first row in white are the players of Saishunkan, minus Yuki Fukushima, Sayaka Hirota and Akane Yamaguchi who were probably still on their way back from the French Open when this was taken. Second row in white are the director, coaches, and sparring players (Suetsuna/Maeda among them, if you're old enough to remember). Apart from the cultural exchange - which is always beneficial - I think the Indonesian girls will have probably gained most from this in badminton terms. The Indonesian boys and the Saishunkan ladies.... not so much.
The other thing is Indonesian team still trying to find their most suitable place for next upcoming olympic training camp in Japan. Several offers come from few prefectures in Japan. That's way Susi Susanti joining by herself there. The Indonesian boys should be happy there, on the opposite way for Indonesian girls with their hard training/sparring against strong Saishunkan team. Or, Susi Susanti could also find 1 coach available for women's single department from Saishunkan team whom interested coaching in Indonesia
Maybe she already retires though, she is 67 y.o. now... How good is Wang Lin Indonesian/English? she came to Indonesia several times as shown in her instagram maybe? hahahhaaaa that is a long stretch already well, the best shot is MKY though or maybe tommy sugiarto or sony? there is not many resources from the previous batch of Indonesia WS
Tommy Sugiarto? No, I don't think he's able to coach. In fact, he need a coach. Sony Dwi Kuncoro, he have capability to become a coach. He had his own badminton academy and have a passion to coach. Imam Tohari, also staying in Djarum Kudus for the moment. More coaches we have.
PBSI should wake up and bring back good coaches like Mulyo, Rexy back to the team. Otherwise, other countries are getting stronger and Indonesia badminton will be history.
So there shouldn't be problems to hire coaches for WS then. Unless, the actual problem is money, which is why good coaches will always go out to another country
Gregoria just lost to Cai Yanyan yesterday while Fitriani lost to Han Yue in Macau GPG, which both the Chinese participated on the latest WJC Disappointing results nevertheless Maybe we are just too optimistic with these 2?
The key factor is playing with variety of shots. When it didn't come up, the opponent will easily read the game. Ended with shorts of points, losing confidence and the cycles going worse in the end of match. They're still need more skills to build, how to play in such different conditions (shuttlecocks, windy court, drift, lights, left handed opponent, tall opponent, etc) and how to apply game plan with some adjustments (thinking while playing a.k.a. smart playing with doing some strategy when opponent do the changes). The level of Gregoria/Fitriani surely 1 level below Ginting/Anthony, so... it need longer time than MS department to produce a good result. So far, don't give it too optimistic. They should produce 1 or 2 upsets in the upcoming matches in order to increase their self confidence. But I see Gregoria's mental strength is better than Fitriani, this will give her enough starting point to catching up Fitriani as the best WS for INA. Let the competition inside INA WS players also play important role to ensure the improvement faster than the current condition.

I don't surprise about Ikhsan Rumbay entering Pelatnas Pratama since he is a team member for 2017 Asia Junior Championships & 2017 World Junior Championships along together with Gatjra Piliang. Let's hope both Ikhsan Rumbay & Gajtra Piliang have a strong willingness to improve their playing and learning more toward a better shape of the young player. Ikhsan Rumbay and Alberto Alvin Yulianto is still able playing for Junior Championships this year.
