In contemporary times, Chinese Indonesian participation in sport is primarily associated with badminton. Less well known, however, is the prominent role Chinese Indonesians playedbefore the advent of the New Orderon the wider Indonesian sports scene. For many years they maintained an almost absolute domination in weightlifting and basketball, while enjoying prominence in water sports, lawn tennis, table tennis, and further sports disciplines. This article aims to investigate the determinants influencing their prominent role on the Indonesian sports scene during those periods. It will examine the colonial rootsthe prevailing economic and sociopolitical system inherent to the Dutch East Indiesthat might have provided a foundational basis for their significant performance in later years. The article will also investigate the political environment manifest during the Sukarno eraone that facilitated Chinese Indonesians enthusiastic participation and achievement in sport. The study is based primarily on official documentation, the print media, as well as the testimonies and insights of more than a dozen former Chinese sports championsnow mostly in their seventies
