2024 Olympic Badminton Draw Results: Heavy Start For Rinov/Pitha
JAKARTA Indonesian mixed doubles pair, Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari, will have a very tough start at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The results of the badminton (sports) draw which was held at the BWF headquarters, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Friday, July 12, 2024, the evening of WIB, placed them in Group A.
The group contains the world number one pair, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong. This pair certainly came with bigger ambitions after failing to win a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The meeting record between the two pairs shows Zheng/Huang are superior. Of the total two clashes against Rinov/Pitha, they always come out victorious.

Two other opponents from the same group are the world number eight pair from South Korea, Kim Won-ho/Jeong Na-eun, and the host's mixed doubles, Thom Gicquel/Delta Delrue.
Rinov/Pitha have to finish at the top two if they want to reach the knockout stages of the quarter-finals. The chances are open because their record with the other two doubles is pretty good.
From the statistic record, Rinov/Pitha have always won on two occasions against the South Korean pair and have only lost once to three clashes with Thom/Delphine.
Indonesia has nine badminton representatives who will appear at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This sport will compete from 27 July to 5 August 2024.
