For Race to Olympics, BWF has set special conditions. Each country can only send a maximum of two representatives. For singles, the two players must be ranked 16th in the Race to Olympics.
As for the double number, the requirement to send two representatives is stricter. The two doubles from the country must be in the top eight zone of Race to Olympics.
Reflecting on this provision, Indonesia could only send two representatives for the men's singles number. This is because Anthony Ginting is in seventh place while Jonatan Christie is in 13th position in the Race to Olympics ranking.
