KANIGARAN - “Setelah menyurati Wali Kota hari Senin kemarin (7/9) dan alhamdulillah bapak wali kota langsung merespon kami (KONI) hari ini (10/9) untuk berdialog secara langsung. Terima kasih bapak” ujar Iwan Rosyidi, pelatih cabor panjat tebing mengawali audiensi dengan orang nomor satu di Kota Mangga ini.
Pagi itu, Federasi Panjat Tebing Indonesia (FPTI) Kota Probolinggo berkesempatan melakukan audiensinya, Kamis (10/9) di Command Center. Pengurus KONI Kota Probolinggo dan jajarannya hadir dalam audiensi bersama Wali Kota Habib Hadi Zainal Abidin yang melibatkan Wakil Ketua I KONI Agung Setiawan, Ketua Umum Panjat Tebing Dwi Hermanto, Bendahara KONI Conie Dwi Purmiranti, Pelatih sekaligus Ketua Harian KONI Iwan Rosyidi dan dua orang atlet berprestasi panjat tebing Muhammad Fikri Fadillah dan Virdo Gibran Maulana Saputra.
Pada kesempatan itu, Iwan menjelaskan tidak tersedianya anggaran Seleksi Nasional Olimpiade Paris yang akan digelar 2024 mendatang. “Tanggal 4 September kemarin harus mewakili Jawa Timur sebanyak 3 orang. 2 orang dari Kota Probolinggo mengikuti Seleknas Olimpiade Paris 2024, karena memang hasil pembicaraan dengan Dewan Pimpinan Pusat (DPD) Kemenpora, panjat tebing masuk olahraga prioritas untuk mengikuti olimpiade tersebut,” urai Iwan.
Menurut Iwan menuturkan, Menteri Pemuda dan Olahraga Zainudin Amali melalui Ketua Umum FPTI Yeni Nur Wahid mengamanatkan pada KONI Kota Probolinggo harus mempersiapkan cabor panjat tebing pada Olimpiade Paris 2024. Akibat refocusing anggaran KONI karena pandemi COVID 19 sehingga anggaran yang tersisa hanya untuk membayar pelatih dan nutrisi atlet selama kurang lebih 6 bulan.
“Harusnya Jumat (11/9) ini kami berangkat. Jadi karena memang mendadak dan KONI Kota Probolinggo tidak bisa mendukung (akomoadasi dan mobilisasi) karena memang kami tidak menganggarkan dalam seleknas tersebut,” tutur Iwan.
Menanggapi hal itu, Wali Kota Habib Hadi mengingatkan pada pengurus KONI Kota Probolinggo dan jajarannya untuk lebih mencermati lagi dalam menata anggaran setiap tahunnya. “Saya minta KONI Kota Probolinggo menata anggaran paling tidak Maret 2021 sudah clear sehingga bisa digunakan untuk tahun 2022, begitu seterusnya,” ucap Habib Hadi.
Habib Hadi juga mendukung penuh cabang olahraga untuk mengembangkan bibit-bibit unggul. Dan, pemerintah akan menyiapkan anggaran menghibahkan ke KONI supaya cabor bisa melaksanakan kegiatan pengkaderan. Pembibitan atlet dimulai usia awal antara 10 - 12 tahun sehingga jenjang pengkaderan tetap berkembang dan berkelanjutan.
“Pemerintah berkomitmen untuk terus hadir di tengah-tengah masyarakat, mensupport kegiatan olahraga. Bagi masyarakat Kota Probolinggo apabila ada anak-anak warga Kota Probolinggo memiliki hobi olahraga, percayakan untuk menitipkan pada cabor-cabor yang ada dibawah naungan pemerintah untuk dilatih menjadi atlit-atlit kebanggaan, membawa nama harum Kota Probolinggo,” pesan Habib Hadi.
Selain itu, Habib Hadi juga berpesan agar KONI membuat MoU dengan Dinas Pendiikan dan Kebudayaan Kota Probolinggo terkait aturan zonasi sekolah. “Jangan sampai zonasi sekolah menghambat bibit-bibit unggul ini bersekolah. Selain zonasi, perhatikan perekonomian keluarganya, jika kedapatan atlet diketahui tidak mampu, harus diperhatikan betul-betul,” katanya.
Ia juga berpesan pada KONI untuk mensurvei tempat-tempat di wilayah Kota Probolinggo jika bisa dijadikan wahana olahraga sekaligus rekreasi. “Sampaikan pada pemerintah tempat-tempat mana yang cocok dijadikan wahana olahraga, Pemerintah Kota akan bangun fasilitas baru selain sebagai latihan olahraga, juga dapat menumbuhkan perekonomian masyarakat. Fasilitas sarana dan prasarana harus didukung dan dikembangkan. Sebut saja seperti Pantai Permata Pilang, stasiun, Sentong, Gladser, RTH,” ucapnya.
Ditemui usai acara, Wakil Ketua I KONI Kota Probolinggo Agung Setiawan memberikan komentar terkait pemerintah kota akan membangun sarpras dan fasilitasnya. “Beberapa cabang olahraga yang sangat berprestasi di Kota Probolinggo khususnya olahraga yang bersifat individu, seperti panjat tebing, renang, atletik. Balap sepeda sifatnya jalan raya, sedangkan untuk BMX sudah ada sarana dan prasarana,” jelas Agung. (dewi)
"After sending a letter to the mayor last Monday (7/9), the mayor immediately responded to us (KONI) today (10/9) for having a dialogue. Thank you, sir,” said Iwan Rosyidi, a rock climbing coach who opened an audience with Probolinggo mayor.
Indonesian Rock Climbing Federation (FPTI) of Probolinggo City had the opportunity to have an audience on Thursday (10/9) at the Command Center, city hall. The Probolinggo City Indonesian Sports Council KONI Management and staff also attended the audience, including Deputy Chairman I of KONI Agung Setiawan, Chairperson of Rock Climbing Dwi Hermanto, KONI Treasurer Connie Dwi Purmiranti, Coach Iwan Rosyidi, and two outstanding rock climbing athletes Muhammad Fikri Fadillah and Virdo Gibran Maulana Saputra.
On that occasion, Iwan explained the unavailability of the Paris Olympics National Selection budget which would be held in 2024. "On September 4th, 3 people had to represent East Java Province. 2 athletes of Probolinggo city participated in the National Selection for the 2024 Paris Olympics, as a result of a discussion with the Central Leadership Council (DPD) of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, that rock climbing was a priority sport to participate in the Olympics," explained Iwan.
According to Iwan, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Zainudin Amali, through the General Chairperson of the FPTI, Yeni Nur Wahid, has ordered the city’s KONI to prepare rock climbing sports for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Due to budget refocusing as the result of COVID-19 impacts, the budget is only used for the salary of coaches and nutrition for athletes for approximately 6 months.
"We should go on Friday (11/9). It was sudden. KONI cannot afford the budget for the national selection as we did not have the budget for it," said Iwan.
Responding to this, Mayor Habib Hadi reminded the board of KONI and staff to pay more attention to managing the annual budget. "I ask KONI to arrange the budget for at least March 2021 to be clear so that it can be used for 2022, and so on," said Habib Hadi.
Habib Hadi also fully supports sports to develop major talents. And, the government will prepare a grant budget for KONI so that sports can carry out its activities. Athlete nurseries are expected to start at an early age between 10-12 years so that the nurseries continue to develop sustainably.
"The government is committed to continuing to give attention to all elements, including supporting sports activities. For the people of Probolinggo City, if there are children from the city who have a hobby of sports, trust them to entrust them to sports that are under the government to be trained to become the city’s pride," said Habib Hadi.
Besides, Habib Hadi also urges KONI to make an MoU with the Probolinggo City’s Education and Culture Agency regarding school zoning policy. "Don't let school zoning prevent these talents from attending school. Besides, pay attention to the economy of their families. If athletes are found to be poor, they must get full attention," he said.
He also urges KONI to survey places or other sites in the city to be changed into a sport and recreation facility. "Tell the government if you find one suitable to be used as a sports facility. The city administration will build new facilities as well as sports training; it can also grow the community's economy. Facilities and infrastructure must be supported and developed. This includes Permata Pilang Beach, train station, Sentong springs, Gladser roundabout, and Green open Space (RTH)," he said.
Met after the event, Deputy Chairman I of KONI, Agung Setiawan, gave comments regarding the government’s intention to open a new sports facility. "Several sports with high achievements in the city, especially individual sports, include rock climbing, swimming, and athletics. For BMX, it a facility has already been available,” explained Agung.
