JAKARTA - Pepanah Putri Indonesia, Diananda Choirunisa, has the opportunity to donate the first medal for Indonesia at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This potential is wide open because the struggle for medals in individual archery sports (sports) will be held on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at 19.30 WIB.

Archery, especially the women's individual number, will be the sport that first reached the final round compared to several Indonesian flagship sports, such as badminton, weightlifting, and rock climbing.

Based on the listed schedule, the final for badminton in the men's doubles will be played on August 4, 2024.

The same sport in the men's singles number which became Indonesia's mainstay was held on August 5, 2024. However, this time, Indonesia was without representatives after Anthony Ginting lost to Toma Junior Popov in the last match of Group H, Wednesday, July 31, 2024, WIB night.

Apart from badminton, Indonesia's strength is also in weightlifting through the appearance of Eko Yulianto and Rizky Juliansyah. Eko only played the final match on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, while Rizky Juniansyah on Friday, August 9, 2024, early morning WIB.

For the length of the cliff, the number that first held the final was the women's speed on August 7, followed by the men's speed on August 8, 2024.

If you look at the final agenda listed, the closest possibility for Indonesia to win the first medal is through an archery represented by Diananda Choirunisa.

Diananda's appearance so far is also fairly convincing to open the first medal opportunity for Indonesia. The athlete who also won the silver medal in the women's individual number for the 2018 Asian Games managed to qualify to secure a place in the last 16 of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Starting the struggle in the round ranking round, Diananda became one of 64 FARmers who then managed to rank sixth. He only lost to two South Korean fans, as well as one cook each from China, the United States, and Turkey.

In the round of 64, Diananda Choirunisa defeated a Japanese from the Netherlands, Laura van der Winkel, with a score of 29-28. The victory then led Diananda to qualify for the top 32 to overthrow the United States, Catalina Noriega.

After this, Diananda will undergo the quarter-finals by challenging the ranking 22 round from India, Bhajan Kaur. Diananda is expected to perform optimally in order to win and can increase the chance to win the first medal for Indonesia.
