All eyes in Asia are looking at the Asian Games XVIII commencing in Jakarta and Palembang. Despite having to put in much effort and expend huge costs, we can be proud for being able to pull off hosting such a prestigious event. The grandeur of the opening ceremony of the Games participated in by 45 National Olympic Committees will be momentary. The melody of Reach to the Stars sung by Via Vallen will disappear from memory as soon as the party's over.
Let us learn a precious lesson from the Asian Games IV held in 1962 in Jakarta. Indonesia then had attained double triumph: accomplishment as a successful host who also managed to pull off a brilliant performance. Indonesia had also once produced athletes like Mohammad Sarengat, the sprinter who won two gold medals during the 1962 Asian Games so that Indonesia Raya was twice heard. At the start of the 18th Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, Tempo is covering Sarengat's life story: the athlete, physician, coach and patron of the sports, and patriot who made Indonesia proud, as "The Fastest Man of Asia".
