The women's doubles pair Ririn Rinasih and Riska Hermawan also dropped into the final party in the artistic women's doubles today. However, Indonesia, which decided to have a score of 9.915 or 0.030 points below the Thailand pair, protested and appealed, so the medal ceremony in that number was postponed.

Haryono assessed that the Indonesian pair was still superior in various aspects including stamina and diversity of movements. "We'll wait for the results later," said Haryono. 

Meanwhile, based on temporary reports, Indonesia is now in third place in the Cambodia SEA Games 2023 standings. The Red and White team is behind the Cambodia and Thailand so far.

Indonesia managed to collect a total of 51 medals. This includes 16 gold, 11 silver, and 24 bronze medals.
