Gregoria Mariska Withdraws from PBSI National Training Camp Due to Health Conditions

Indonesian Women's Singles badminton athlete Gregoria Mariska Tunjung has formally resigned from the national training center of the All Indonesia Badminton Association (PBSI National Training Camp). This decision concludes Gregoria's 12-year tenure within the national training program.

Gregoria's health has not yet fully recovered. She continues to struggle with vertigo that first onset in March 2025.

On multiple occasions, Gregoria has been forced to withdraw from tournaments as she is still unable to return to full competitive performance.

At this time, the 26-year-old athlete still does not feel fully recovered. She also lacks the full confidence required to compete again at the international elite level.

In her official resignation letter, Gregoria extended her gratitude to all PBSI management and coaching staff for the opportunities and shared journey throughout her time at the camp.

This decision was already communicated in advance to Imam Tohari, head coach of the PBSI National Training Camp senior Women's Singles division.

Eng Hian, Head of Athlete Development for PP PBSI, confirmed that the federation understands and fully respects Gregoria's choice.

"Gregoria is an athlete who has brought enormous contribution and pride to Indonesia. We honour the decision she has made, and wish nothing but the best for her health and future path," Eng Hian stated in an official PBSI press release published Friday.

Gregoria was long considered one of Indonesia's core women's singles talents. She served as a critical figure for Indonesian Badminton squad regeneration, and represented the Indonesian national flag on numerous international stages.

Twelve years immersed in elite competitive training forged Gregoria into one of the most experienced players in Indonesia's women's singles division.

PBSI has formally recognised Gregoria's dedication and service while competing for Indonesia across global tournaments. The federation also expressed hope for her full speedy recovery and success in all her future endeavours.
