Rionny Mainaky Takes The Duty To Get Olympic Gold – Rionny Mainaky holds the toughest job at PBSI for the next year. He must be ready to put his body on the achievements of Indonesian badminton with the conditions in the early years which were immediately hot and smoldering.
With the 2022 Olympics being postponed, the situation for replacing the management of PBSI is indeed not good. In the last three administrations, the Olympics were often the end of the season.
It can be said that the Olympics is a determination and parameter of the success of an administration, including the Head of Binpres in it.
This was not obtained by the 2022-2022 PBSI Management under Wiranto. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the Olympics have been postponed.
The management replacement is still ongoing and PBSI has announced Rionny Mainaky as the Head of the PBSI Binpres. The information is all about placing the weight on Rionny’s shoulders.
Rionny has accepted the job and he must be prepared to face a very tough job. He does not have the same opportunities as his younger brother, Rexy Mainaky, who became the Head of the 2012-2022 PBSI Binpres.
At that time Rexy arrived after the 2012 Olympics and began to improve at the Cipayung National Training Center with the final target being the 2022 Olympics.
Rexy has had four years and some important matches that could be the point of judgment before acquiring some reliable players.
Except for several world titles, the All England title, and a series of Super Series titles, the pinnacle of Rexy’s success is to restore the Olympic gold tradition that had disappeared through the victory of Tontowi Ahmad / Liliyana Natsir in Rio de Janeiro.
This victory could be a reference to Rexy’s success as long as he is the Head of Binpres PBSI.
This is what Rionny doesn’t have now. In his first year, he has faced preparations for the 2022 Olympics.
Rionny doesn’t have that. In the first year, he had to prepare for the Olympics in advance.
Rionny must continue what has been going on throughout the 2022-2022 period.
He may face a situation where success at the Olympics will still be linked more to his initial management performance as he is seen as ‘simply’ ending an existing program.
But one thing is clear, Rionny Mainaky is the one who needs to be held accountable when it comes to failure. There was no way he could evade the fact that he only had a moment to make a program and just continue the legacy of his initial management.
Rionny had just sat on the bench of the PBSI Binpres but it was as if his neck had been terrorized by a sword in the form of demands for success and the continuation of the gold tradition in the Olympics.
Rionny didn’t have some time to breathe and control his attitude. He is required to be able to bear good results in a short time.
In more than five years, Rionny Mainaky’s name is the name that PBSI most hoped for but ended up being unsuccessful. PBSI has been trying to take Rionny since the days of Gita Wirjawan.
Those years of effort only paid off last year when Rionny Mainaky was finally successful in withdrawing to Cipayung National Training Center as the women’s singles coach.
After only one year as a women’s singles coach, the badminton competition was stopped due to the corona outbreak so that Rionny was unable to perform optimally in an effort to replace the face of the Indonesian women’s singles which was seen as declining in the last two decades.
As a coach, Rionny cooks abroad, namely in Japan. He has a big role in guiding Japan’s top players who are in the world’s top class today such as Nozomi Okuhara and Kento Momota.
He will not stutter when it comes to setting up coaching and player improvement programs because he has been doing it for so many years.
But the situation ahead of the 2022 Olympics in 2022 is one full of hurdles. The situation today is different from a few years earlier.
Besides Rionny, who was supposed to lead a big fight in the first year, several players from the Cipayung National Training Center faced difficult conditions.
The athlete has not appeared for eight months in international competition so the status of Indonesian players on the ability map must be re-read.
Several tournaments at the beginning of the year could have originally been a reference to the status of Indonesian players, especially those who will be representing the Olympics, now.
Not only technical factors, Rionny must also be able to handle the psychological and psychological pressures encountered by several Indonesian players regarding the uncertainty of competition in the midst of the corona outbreak.
The corona outbreak has not been completely resolved, although the situation has been better than before this year with the news of the arrival of a vaccine.
Even though the BWF has issued a competition agenda throughout the first half of 2022, there is still the possibility of cancellations encountered as the situation in each country during the corona outbreak is still different. Even the implementation of the Olympics is inseparable from the opportunity to fail.
Under conditions of uncertainty, Rionny had to prepare several Indonesian players who were still in a state of combat readiness if major events such as the All England, Sudirman Cup, Olympics, and Thomas-Uber Cup were finally held successfully.
If Indonesia later wins in some of those elite tournaments, especially the Olympic gold tradition, it is appropriate to take off my hats to Rionny Mainaky not seeing him ‘simply’ continuing the struggles that have been made over the last four years.
Because in the near future, Rionny Mainaky will have the biggest burden as the person in charge of Indonesian badminton achievements.
