Indra Yuliasti, Head Coach of the Jakarta Inter Women's Sepak Takraw Team, admitted that technically, her team had to concede the victory. This was due to the opponent's advantage in terms of preparation time.
"We are very grateful to have won silver because the struggle from the preliminary round to the semifinals was extraordinary," she admitted.
She added that the Jakarta contingent still has one more medal potential in the doubles event. The women's doubles event is currently in the preliminary round.
"Hopefully we will win it," she hoped.
