PBSI Hopes To Be Large In Singles And Men's Doubles At The 2024 Paris Olympics

JAKARTA The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) hopes that the men's singles and doubles sectors can talk a lot at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

This hope came after the two numbers won two titles and one runner-up at the world's oldest badminton event, All England 2024, which took place last week.

The Head of PBSI's Development and Achievement Division, Ricky Soebagdja, hopes that the two sectors can maintain their performance so as to maintain the gold medal tradition at the Olympics.

"Hopefully achievements in these two sectors can be maintained, men's singles and men's doubles. These results can trigger motivation for other sectors to be even better," said Ricky.

At All England 2024, the title of the men's singles was brought home by Jonatan Christie. He won after defeating his compatriot, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting.

The title also ended the men's singles drought for 30 years since Hariyanto Arbi defeated Ardy Bernardus Wiranata in 1994.

Meanwhile, the title of the men's doubles was brought home by Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto. They defended the title by stopping Malaysian representatives, Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik.

"This is a very good moment. This very positive trend must be understood by the players and coaches. How to keep this peak performance up to the 2024 Paris Olympics," said Ricky.

The 2024 Paris Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024. Badminton is Indonesia's great hope for a gold medal.

Badminton is the only sport that contributes to gold medals in Indonesia's history of participating in the Olympics.
