Kapanlagi.com - The pandemic has led several celebrities to reintroduce various sports branches to the public. Until then, the term sportainment, which combines sports with entertainment, became popular.
El Rumi admits that many offers come to join several of these agendas. However, he admits being selective because he does not master all sports branches.
"I don't take many offers from celebrity sports because it's not my field," said El Rumi, met in the Rawamangun area, East Jakarta, on Saturday (3/2/2024).

El Rumi only excels in a few sports, one of which is badminton. That's why he wanted to participate in the Indonesian Celebrity Sports Tournament (TOSI) season two, even though he was defeated by Valentino Jebret.
"I can play football, boxing, badminton, and running. I took this (offer) to play badminton, even though I lost. TOSI season two was very exciting, unfortunately, I didn't win. Hopefully, I can participate again next year," said El Rumi.

Competing in sportainment events makes El Rumi feel the excitement of support from the audience. From being unfamiliar at first, now he has developed mental strength.
"I feel it's more exciting to play in front of a large audience, it also trains my mental strength. Alhamdulillah, I have participated in several events like this, so I'm used to the reactions of the audience who support the other side or support us," said El.
