JAKARTA Indonesian lifter Rizki Juniansyah still has two last preparations before appearing on the stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics, which will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.

Rizki said that one of the things that must be done is to lose weight. With the remaining time, he is sure he can do that.

"If it weighs currently 75 kilograms. I have to reduce two more kilos because later I will compete for the 73 kilogram class. For me, I can still do it," he said.

Rizky can do efforts to lose weight when undergoing a training camp in Paris later. The athlete plans to go there early.

The 21-year-old athlete said that in France he would also look for the host athlete for the match as his final preparation before appearing.

"His sparring friends are certainly the same as me, but they don't know their opponents yet. He may be the lifter who doesn't enter the Olympics," said the Banten-born athlete.

Rizki is one of the athletes that Indonesia relies on to get a gold medal in Paris later. The opportunity is quite big because he currently holds a record total class in his class.

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Rizki will receive a tough opponent from the Chinese lifter, Shi Zhiyong. The athlete is a record holder in the snatch with 169 kilograms.

In addition, there are also Masanori Miyamoto (Japan), Joohyo Bak (South Korea), Luis Zavier Mosquera Lozano (Colombia), Julio Ruben Mayora Perna (Venezuela), and Bozhidar Dimitrov Andreev (Bulgaria).
