JAKARTA Gregoria Mariska Tunjung has a big chance of reaching the knockout stages of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Indonesia's mainstay from the women's singles number received an easy opponent in the Group G preliminary phase based on the draw results conducted on Friday, July 12, 2024.
The 2017 junior world champion will face Ukrainian badminton players, Polina Buhrova, and the representative of the Republic of Ceska, Tereza Svabikova. The two opponents are clearly not seeded if they look at the BWF rankings.
However, Gregoria must not be careless against them at all. If you slip in one match, the chances of going to the knockout phase will be reduced because only the group winners are entitled to go there.

This is the second Olympics for Gregoria after making her debut at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. At that time, the Wonogiri badminton player successfully passed the preliminary, but ran aground in the round of 16.
Indonesia has nine representatives who will appear in the 2024 Paris Olympics. This sport will compete from 27 July to 5 August 2024.
