Apprian Rahayu and Grace Polly will be greeted in Indonesia as two heroines after winning gold medals in women’s doubles badminton at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
In addition, both athletes will receive significant sums from government agencies, as well as significant awards from other sources.
Among the gifts, Apriani will become the owner of a plot of land and five cows provided by the authorities of the Konave district on the island of Sulawesi, where she is an athlete.
Apriani and her colleague Grace will share a financial prize of 5 million Indonesian rupees (almost 300,000 euros), and each of them will receive an apartment from the developer.
In addition, the mobile company will provide them with devices and subscriptions for life, and another company has announced that they have subscriptions to any magazines they want.
The joy of winning medals prompted the owners of cafes in the capital Jakarta to promise them coffee for life.
