60 percent of Indonesian contingent to join 2019 SEA Games are junior athletes while most of its senior athletes will train and focus for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The plan of sending junior athletes will be a stepping stone for young athletes to develop their skills to face bigger events.
Indonesia's Youth and Sports Minister explained the plan includes preparation for senior athletes in sports that potentially bring gold medals.
Indonesia is expected to excel and dominate in badminton and pencak silat while swimmers are also expected to produce medals especially in backstroke and breaststroke events.
The 30th Southeast Asian Games will be held in four cluster venues in the Philippines that will commence on November 30.
