Achieving Sixth Place, Polstat STIS Achieves Highest Achievement Since 2014 in the OPTK Event

The 2020 State College Olympiad (OPTK) has begun. As one of the State Colleges (PTK), Polstat STIS contributed to the 2020 OPTK by sending a total of 99 athletes to compete in 18 competitions. Taking place over four days, starting on March 5, 2020, the 2020 OPTK was successfully held at the Indonesian Aviation Polytechnic (PPI) in Curug, the host city. Despite limited preparation due to a conflict with the midterm exam (UTS), the Polstat STIS contingent proved its mettle by placing sixth. The Polstat STIS contingent took home a total of eight medals: five gold medals and three bronze medals. The 2020 OPTK attracted 2,500 participants from 31 PTKs across Indonesia. On Thursday (March 5), the Polstat STIS contingent held a farewell ceremony at the Polstat STIS Auditorium. Furthermore, on the same day, the Men's A class silat contingent competed and succeeded in defeating the Yogyakarta Magelang Agricultural Development Polytechnic (Polbangtan Yo-Ma) to enter the one-eighth final. On the second day of the OPTK implementation, the 2020 OPTK Opening Ceremony was held, attended by representatives from 31 PTK contingents.

The Polstat STIS contingent competed in Women's Volleyball, Men's Volleyball, Men's Basketball, Silat, Scientific Writing Competition (LKTI), Table Tennis, Taekwondo, English Debate, Story Telling, and Speech. The match was exciting and tense. Not in vain, the Polstat STIS contingent managed to win its first gold medal from the Women's Singles Poomsae Taekwondo competition for Aininda Rahma Mas. The Polstat STIS contingent harvested medals on the third day of OPTK by adding three gold and three bronze medals.

The fourth and final day of the 2020 OPTK was a truly memorable one. On Sunday, March 8, 2020, the Closing Ceremony concluded the 2020 OPTK. On this final day, Polstat STIS continued to add to its medal tally. The final gold medal, which was won by Novitra Saputra, Awkilla Bhakti Sitindaon, and I Kadek Wijayantara in the team chess event, was won.
The 2020 OPTK was a unique and special event for Polstat STIS, as this year, Polstat STIS achieved sixth place, their best ranking in recent years. Ranked first through fifth, respectively, were the Institute of Public Administration (IPDN), the Correctional Sciences Polytechnic (Poltekip), the State Finance Polytechnic of STAN (PKN-STAN), the Indonesian Student Association (PPI) of Curug, and the Immigration Polytechnic (Poltekim).
