JAKARTA The men's doubles specialist, Fajar Alfian, decided to replace the WhatsApp number so that his preparations for the 2024 Paris Olympics would not be disturbed.

The 2024 Paris Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024. This means that Fajar's preparation to appear in the four-year multi-event is less than a month.

The couple Muhammad Rian Ardianto said that the concentration on the target would be the main concern compared to trivial matters that were not important.

"I have changed the WhatsApp number. Numbers that are usually inactive," said Fajar when met by the PBSI Cipayung National Training Center, East Jakarta, on Wednesday, June 26, 2024.

Fajar made the decision after some time ago the Indonesian badminton legend, Taufik Hidayat, advised that the 2024 Paris Olympic athletes should focus fully and temporarily need to forget the affairs of their family, girlfriends, and those closest to them.

The 29-year-old badminton player said that he made the message a role model in realizing dreams so that things that need to be avoided should be done.

"The trivial things that I think are important. I changed the numbers that only people related to the Olympics know," he said.

Indonesia has six representatives from badminton which will appear in Paris later. Apart from the men's doubles, the other four sectors also have representatives each.

Badminton is one sector that will be relied on to win a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The 2024 Paris Olympics badminton will be held at the Porte De La Chapelle Arena, Paris, France. The match will start from July 28 to August 5, 2024.
