I hate politics!  I know I'm joining in a little late, but age is only a number.  You still have a lot of good competitive years left in you if you still have the desire, Gogi!

Defect and come to the USA!  =D

Good luck with everything, okay?  *hugs*

i have make up my mind.
canada for my student.
:)
reason i cant blog it, but i think got both sides and ways good.
now i will prepare Erwein for canada.

thx for support bro and sis :)
really happy to have you guys here.

I think it is a good idea to talk to the minister of sports...good luck!

>What do they mean Erwein been affected? :(

well, i think they have said that to him meaning something like "sorry that you got involved in taking the spot of your coach"

hm. i think u still need to try to contact them thru the official channels and express that you are ready, in your best shape and that u understand that is good to promote the young athletes too, but in this case you represent a better chance to obtain a medal due to your competition experience, etc.

your student is young and has many years to develop his competition experience later. he already did great in at JR worlds with compulsory forms. but now is the turn for GOGI NEBULANA to represent indonesia again!   jiayo!

hi friends, here are some info:

the reason they dont want me to compete.
1. the reason is not the money, but the quota team, max 10 athlete, and im not in that 10 :(

2.they said im too old.

3.they said my student, named Erwein is better then me, my student is 15 year old, but Erwein him self honestly told the federation that me ( as his coach )  is way more ready then Erwein for Canada.

the federation reply Erwein,

"The decision is based on mature consideration and the background and the foresight of the elements PBWI ( indonesian wushu federation ), very unfortunate Erwein been affected. We can only regret it."

what do they mean Erwein been affected? :(

the federation never seen or even compare my student freestyle form at all, and didnt make any qualifying national standard statement  for canada. for sure i want qualification standard for it.

since 2002 - 2008 i got gold sword medal in national, and my target to go to canada for getting the world gold the second time.
in 2008 i got 3rd place in asia, and 4th place for beijing olympic.
why my achievements  dont make sense for federation's qualification to put me in the team?

why they dont wanna pick up my phone call?

im going to minister of sports, to have a help.

thanx Xibanyae, friends...

argh im so hot here... :(

Well Angelica Cukon and Thomas Hacikoglu both their federations don't want them to go compete in Canada... so you're the third wushu athlete on aNd that I've read that has the same problem...

Such a shame, you definitely have to go! I hope you get a chance to talk to them at least and maybe persuade them to allow you to go!

the idea for selecting the national team is to increase the chance of winning medals and promoting wushu in the country.

if you can demonstrate you deserve to be on the team and the federation doesn't give you the opportunity, you can always tell them you will make them look bad on newspapers, TV and magazines!

u need to try to find out in a formal way, what is the "official reason" for this decision.

if the reason is financial, try to help with ideas to raise money or find sponsorship.

if the reason is because they have selected somebody else instead of you, try to demonstrate how your career and competition results are better and you deserve to be on the national team.

last, if your school and all students pay some yearly fee to the federation, you can tell them that you will not renew your membership next year for all the students and school if you are not treated in a FAIR way.

really? who have the same prob?

the federation here seems dont wanna meet me eye to eye, or even by phone.
cant contact them at all,  still trying.

any suggestions and advice friends?

WHY???

why everybody with this same prob. this year???

nonono... i dont want!!

still struggle :(

Ha everybody with the same prob.

Same as below, why wouldn't they let you join the team?

Hope that you will be able to join in the end.

OMG !!
Why not ?
