JAKARTA - Indonesian badminton was haunted by a pessimistic tone when it failed to appear slick in several tournaments earlier this year.

None of the titles from the Malaysia Open 2024. Likewise at the 2024 India Open.

While at home, only Leo Rolly Carnando / Daniel Marthin managed to win the Indonesia Masters 2024.

Shifting to the German Open 2024, Indonesia's fate has also not improved. The representatives who appeared failed to bring home a single trophy.

In three pieces of money with what happened at the French Open 2024 in early March 2024.

However, when appearing at All England 2024, Indonesian badminton players began to show off. Two titles were successfully contested in the men's singles and men's doubles numbers.

Jonathan Christie and the couple Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto climbed the first podium.

In fact, the men's singles competed in the All Indonesian Finals when Anthony Sinisuka Ginting faced Jonatan Christie.

Two trophies that won the All England 2024 returned to Indonesia's hopes of talking a lot in badminton at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

At least, the hope to keep the Olympic gold medal tradition from badminton has risen again.

"These two victories answered many expectations of Indonesian badminton lovers and gave great enthusiasm to the Indonesian team at the 2024 Paris Olympics."

"A big hope is that the top performance of the athletes will be at the 2024 Paris Olympics," said Raja Sapta Oktohari, President of NOC Indonesia or the Indonesian Olympic Committee.

According to Okto, Raja Sapta Oktohari's nickname, the results of the All England 2024 could not be separated from the smooth communication built at the AdHoc Olimpade Paris 2024 Team led by Fadhil Imran.

One of them is efforts and adjustments to open up opportunities for gold medals for badminton at the 2024 Paris Olympics to become bigger.

"We give great appreciation to the PBSI Ad Hoc Team in coordination with us and the efforts made by all parties to encourage the spirit of athletes."

"It is a big hope for all badminton people to refrain from conflicts towards the 2024 Paris Olympics so that the efforts made can be maximized," said Okto.

"We are all a support team to bring athletes to score their highest achievements. So, everyone must exercise restraint and suppress personal and group interests."

"Our main goal is how Indonesia Raya can reverberate and the Red and White flag can fly simultaneously in the world's largest multi-sports event," he said again.

NOC Indonesia, continued Okto, also invites all Indonesian people to continue to support and pray for the athletes who are currently still struggling to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

"We continue to pray and support all teams who are fighting either directly or through social media using the hashtag #KitaIndonesia and #Maintaining MerahPutih," said Okto.

Apart from that, the All England 2024 title presented by Jonatan Christie also broke the fast of the Indonesian men's singles champion.

The last time the men's singles triumphed in the world's oldest badminton tournament was in 1994 through Hariyanto Arbi, or to be precise 30 years ago.

Jojo also declared himself one of six Indonesian men's singles badminton players who were able to lift the trophy at All England.

Then, the title of the men's doubles Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto became the second in a row. They are included in the ranks of seven Indonesian men's doubles who won the All England twice conjectively.
