JAKARTA The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) responded to the negative results of Indonesian representatives in two major tournaments that took place earlier this year.
The best journey of Indonesian representatives in two tournaments at the beginning of this year, at the Malaysia Open and the 2024 India Open, respectively, is to reach the quarter-finals.
The manager of the Ad Hoc Team for the 2024 Paris Olympics, Armand Darmadji, admitted that currently his party has a tough task of finding ways for athletes to be more competitive. The reason is, lately many new athletes have been able to provide competition.
"Kami melihat kemarin Malaysia banyak pemain pemain pemain baru yang tampil di final. Memang ini tak terprediksi. Jadi, seluruh pemain peningkatannya luar biasa," kata Armand.
The results of the two tournaments earlier this year made many parties start to worry about Indonesia's fate at the 2024 Paris Olympics. You see, the two tournaments are qualifying for the world's largest multi-events.

Armand said that currently his party did not remain silent on the results that made the federation receive much criticism. He emphasized that PBSI continues to improve so that it can meet the target.
"We always evaluate, from last year we have tidied up everything internally and athletes. So, we are in the process," he said.
"So, we are not silent. If we ask all athletes, they also feel it. We are in the process of being repaired and cannot be done immediately. It takes time for this process to run until the 2024 Paris Olympics," said Armand.
Indonesian representatives are currently participating in the Indonesia Masters 2024 from 23-28 January 2024. At this event, Jonatan Christie and his friends are expected to repeat last year's achievements or at least be able to exceed.
Last year Jojo was one of two Indonesian representatives who won the title in this event. Another title was won by the men's doubles pair Leo Rolly Carnando / Daniel Marthin.
