As for the sport of rock climbing, the ITS delegation, Rahma Sahara Juhartoyo, managed to come out as a silver medalist in the women’s individual-lead category. “Incidentally, this year is the first year that ITS has sent a delegation for rock climbing, and thank God, it immediately won a silver medal,” said Imam Syafawi or who is familiarly called Isa.

Isa said that this year the competition for athletes from various universities in East Java tended to be tighter after the easing of COVID-19. For this reason, his party is trying to support and monitor the preparation of ITS athletes in the coming years more intensively.
