Porprov Final Results, Pacitan Wins 15 Porprov VIII Medals

Pacitanku.com, PACITAN – Pacitan Regency managed to win a total of 15 medals at the VIII East Java Provincial Sports Week (Porprov) which took place last week.

In the VIIIth Porprov which took place in Jombang, Mojokerto and Sidoarjo Regencies on 9-16 September 2023, Pacitan fielded 87 athletes who competed in 16 sports.

Of the total of 16 sports, 9 sports successfully contributed medals to Pacitan, namely weightlifting (6 gold), horse riding (1 gold), paragliding (1 gold and 1 silver), IBCA MMA (1 gold), chess (1 silver) , woodball (1 silver), wrestling (1 bronze), billiards (1 bronze) and bridge (1 bronze).

What is quite encouraging is that Pacitan, despite having to settle for being in 34th place in the final medal standings, managed to maintain the tradition of gold medals in weightlifting in the last three Porprov events.

At this year’s Porprov VIII event, the Pacitan weightlifting sport successfully donated a total of 6 gold medals, of which 3 gold medals were won from the women’s 49 kilogram class on behalf of athlete Resva Widya Aryana. Meanwhile, 3 other gold medals in weightlifting were won in the women’s 59 kilogram class, in the name of Amel Candra Novitasari.

Gold medals from the weightlifting event were also successfully achieved in the two previous Porprov editions, namely at the 2019 Porprov (3 gold medals in the women’s 45 kilogram class in the name of Luluk Diana Tri Wijayana) and the 2022 Porprov with a total of 8 gold medals from the weightlifting event at the VII Porprov in 2022 last year.

At Porprov in 2022, the 8 gold medals were presented by Luluk Diana Tri Wijayana (3 gold medals in the women’s 55 kilogram class), Resva Widya Aryana (3 gold medals in the women’s 49 kilogram class) and 2 gold medals by Amel Candra Novitasari (2 gold medals in the 64 kilogram class daughter).

The MMA sport has made history

Apart from the golden tradition of weightlifting, the Indonesian Amateur Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) sport has recorded a proud and historic record.

Pacitan IBCA MMA athlete Alifan Bagus Fernanda successfully donated a gold medal to Pacitan in the men’s 54 kilogram event.

In the final match at SMAN 1 Puri, Mojokerto Regency, Alifan successfully defeated his opponent from Lamongan Regency in round 1 of 2 rounds planned by TKO.

Alifan’s score is a good historical record for Pacitan, considering that the IBCA MMA sport is a sport that has just been contested at the East Java Proprov VIII event in 2023.
