Inp.polri.go.id - Tangerang.  Olympic medalists from the Paris 2024 Olympics will use their government bonuses to improve local training facilities. 

Weightlifter Rizki Juniansyah, who won gold, shared his plans on Wednesday (14/8/2024) to upgrade the Sasana Bulldog Gym in Serang, Banten, where he trained. 

"I hope to enhance the gym so I can continue achieving medals in future competitions," he said, as quoted by antaranews.com.
