This score made Indonesia end the WAG 2023 in a runner-up position, behind overall champion host Thailand with a collection of 129 gold, 112 silver, and 116 bronze.

"Even now, we have achieved second place at the World Abilitysport Games in Thailand, which is one level higher," he added. 

The success at WAG 2023 adds to the slick record of Indonesian athletes in the international arena after previously becoming the overall champion of the ASEAN Para Games 2023 Cambodia and also ranked sixth at the Asian Games 2023 China. 

"Hopefully, the target will continue to be improved, the focus of athletes should not be divided, moreover government support also continues to roll out not only for athletes but for NPC organizations and sports personnel," Putra expressed. 

He further explained the key to Indonesia being able to buy up medals in the first edition of the event initiated by the International Wheelchair and Amputated Sports Federation (IWAS). 

"The key to the success of the athletics is because the Indonesian National Paralympic Committee (NPC Indonesia) has a good training program to keep its athletes performing optimally in every championship," Putra explained.
