Coverage of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, which is likened to the 'go to pilgrimage' of sports journalists, became a stage to practice all of my knowledge of sports journalism.

Tontowi/Liliyana, also known as Owi/Butet, are among the 28 Indonesian athletes who will compete in seven sports at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Badminton and weightlifting athletes are considered the most reliable ones to place Indonesia on the medal table since both sports won medals at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.The coverage focus for the Indonesian team begins with the weightlifting event which will take place on August 6-16 at Rio Centro.
"As a sports fan and an Indonesian, of course I want Owi/Butet to win. Especially since she is Indonesia's last hope for a gold medal. However, as a journalist, I must also be objective based on data. Owi/Butet's track record leading up to the Olympics is not very good." After the defeat, Zhang/Zhao did not even want to be interviewed by journalists who had been waiting in the mixed zone , including by journalists from their countries. Both of them walked separately through the mixed zone with looks on their faces showing disappointment and anger.
This made me have to work from early morning until midnight every day for three weeks non-stop. Apart from the media center and match venues, I can write in my apartment while living in Rio or on the bus when changing venues. Before moving on to cover Londa, I used it from morning to noon to prepare articles for the final match that Owi/Butet would be participating in. The final will take place on August 17 starting at 11.50 Rio time , which means it's approaching the deadline time in Jakarta. Thus, I don't have much time if I start writing from scratch during the final.
Therefore, to work on the final writing for mixed doubles badminton, I have prepared three versions of the writing based on three different assumptions. If Owi/Butet win, it will also be a separate record for the Indonesian mixed doubles sector which can finally win the Olympic gold. Since badminton was contested in Barcelona 1992, only men's singles, women's singles, and men's doubles have been able to win gold. Another thing that makes it special is that Owi/Butet won the gold on Indonesia's Independence Day.
The time I have to finish writing and sending it is the same as the duration of the Owi/Butet vs Chan/Goh match later. As soon as the match was over, at that time I had to send a letter to the editor.
Writing about Owi/Butet's final moment, even though it was only one match, requires more effort than usual. Nevertheless, it's like triggering adrenaline and I did it with enthusiasm. Moreover, just like athletes who are able to compete in the Olympics, not many journalists have the opportunity to cover such event.Certificate for Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic coverage from the International Olympic Committee .
While still busy fixing the three versions of the article in the media workspace, while constantly monitoring the match in the audience stand, a message from one of the sports editors appeared on my phone. My enthusiasm immediately faded after reading the message. I am ashamed because Kompas will be left behind from other media in reporting the final results of Owi/Butet.
However, on the other hand, I do not want to miss a moment that may not be experienced again: writing about Indonesian athletes winning Olympic gold medals from live coverage and coincided with Indonesian Independence Day. I try to quell my annoyance even though honestly it cannot really disappear. I finally continued writing with a cluttered mind for the important event itself.
