The guy standing next to her is Arbi, is it correct? Arbi is 175. The guy standing next to Arbi looks like Ricky Subagja. Ricky is 172. She is more like 177 or 178 in that picture unless Arbi put on high heel shoes.
yeah it is Arbi and Ricky. I also not too sure about her height, in pbsi website it is written 182 cm. perhaps we can use this as comparison, Jordan is 180 cm(base on djarum website), so i think Gloria is above 180 cm
she is very pretty indeed. no wonder she's a champ on xd department since her guys opponents were not bear smashing hard to her.
Gloria is surely a true gem and amazingly talented.... In her first (as far as I know) patnership with Edi Subaktiar can win the title of Kejurnas Taruna XD U19 2011. Her achievement in WD of this tournament is also not bad by reaching SF WD U19 with Khaeriah Rosmini... Procficiat and good luck for your future, Gloria!!
Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja is indeed an excellent talent that INA has. I think she will be recruited by Richard Mainaky into XD, especially after seeing her success partnering with different male players , including winning 2 big titles this year: the WJC title (with Alfian Eko Prasetya) and the Kejurnas title (with Edi Subaktiar). She is just turning 18 at the end of December! I hope Gloria can partner Mohd Rijal or Fran Kurniawan (if his partnership with Shendy is not bearing fruit) after the Olympics next year and blossom quickly like the Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir partnership after the Olympics in 2004! At that time, Nova (turning 27 then) was split up with Vita (after winning only the Japan Open in 2004 as their sole major title) and Butet was just entering Pelatnas at a slender age of 19. What a gem that partnership turned out to be....with 2 World Championships titles in 2005 & 2007, and a Silver Medal in the Olympics 2008! Fran will be turning 27 next year (just like Nova's age back in 2004), while Rijal will turn 26. Both players are still considered young and good enough to compete at the highest level at least for the next 4-5 years (till Olympics 2012). With her height (very tall for an INA girl), I think Gloria will be an awesome XD player!
good partnership plan with Riky/Richi on hand, we have a very good future in XD. Alfian will enter XD as i expected, no need for him playing in MD, too many talents there... 2012 will be early judgement on some of our talents.....
i think so.... she is very fast... very good interception in front of net.... just watch some of her videos on PB Djarum website.... you will know better about her...

this is what Gloria said through her blog at pbdjarum website --------------------------------------------- Become World Junior Champion I did not expect twhile participating in the World Junior Championships, I would be the champion.Especially when arrived in Taipei i am a bit nervous, knowing this was the first time I played in the World Junior Championship.Previously,I was only playing in two international tournaments,and Taipei is the third time.Previously I competed in the Asian Junior Championships in India,and at the Singapore International Series.But in two of the tournament,I have not been able to become champion. Preparation ahead of the World Junior Championships less than five weeks,we practiced together with other teams in Cipayung.During practice I was finally paired with Alfian Eko Prasetya.Although we are from different clubs,I quickly adjust to my new partner. Eventually I became world junior champion in the mixed doubles.I was very proud to win the world junior title for Indonesia.Once become the champion,I preach my family through my brother in BBM,and of course all my family are proud to receive this news. Coming home from Taipei, I got atotal of Rp 40 million bonus from my club PB Djarum.Gifts from this club add further to my spirits.I want to continue to achieve for the sake of Indonesia badminton as long as Ican.I'll keep practicing to become the best.Moreover,next year I might not come again to World Junior Championships,because this year I was 18,while for the World Junior Championships every athletes must be under19 years.Hopefully I can be champion again in the future,and continue to achieve, pray for me ya source : http://pbdjarum.org/blogminton/detil/54/menjadi-juara-dunia-yunior
Gloria just won GD U-19 title with Khaeriah Rosmini at Pertamina Open 2011. She closed end of the year perfectly.
Results achieved by Gloria throughout this year : Runner Up at Sirnas Bengkulu 2011 (XD U-19) Winner at Piala Walikota Surabaya 2011 (XD U-19) Winner at Sirnas Jakarta 2011 (GD U-19) Winner at World Junior Championship 2011 (XD) Winner at Indonesia National Championship (XD U-19) Winner at Pertamina Open (GD U-19) This result is much better then last year, last year she only got 4 titles. In additional this year she won in some prestigious tournaments like WJC and Indonesia National Championship. Hope to see her enter pelatnas soon, perhaps in 2012 we can see her in pelatnas!
