Badminton Draw Results 2024 Olympics: Jonathan And Ginting Can Slip

JAKARTA Men's singles Jonatan Christie and Anthony Sinisuka Ginting can slip early if they are not careful in the stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics group stage.

The two favorite heroes were able to bring home the gold medal in a different block after the draw was completed on Friday, July 12, 2024, evening WIB.

This automatically ensures that they will not face each other in other rounds other than the 2024 Paris Olympics final. However, the chances of both entering the final are clearly tough.

Anthony Ginting will start his journey in Paris from Group H. In the group there are single hosts, Toma Junior Popov, and representatives of the United States, Howard Shu.

Toma Junior can clearly be a stumbling block for Ginting even though in their only previous clash at the French Open 2023, the badminton player from West Java won.

Ginting had previously won a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. So, obviously he has ambitions to improve his achievements this year.

Meanwhile, Jonatan Christie fills Group L. The test faced by the All England 2024 champion is clearly heavier because in the group there are three badminton players who will be their opponents.

One of them is India's representative, Lakshya Sen. On paper, Jonathan won 4-1 wins, but after all that statistic does not guarantee a safe position for him.

Two other names against Jonathan are Kevin Gordon (Guatemala) and Julien Carraggi from Belgium. Gordon should be feared because at the 2024 Tokyo Olympics he traveled all the way to the semifinals.
