JAKARTA - Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto got bad results at the 2024 Paris Olympics. With the status of the number one men's doubles Red-White, they are expected to continue the tradition of badminton gold medals at the Olympics.

However, in fact they failed. Fajar/Rian stopped in the quarter-finals after being beaten by Chinese doubles, Liang Wei Berkek/Wang Chan two straight games 22-24 and 20-22.

However, Fajar/Rian do not want to continue to be dissolved in the bad results. They want to rise at the Japan Open 2024 which will be held on August 20-25, 2024.

"After returning from the Olympics, when I went to Indonesia there was still a high sense of regret and disappointment."

"However, for now try to forget it all because there are still many new hopes ahead," said Fajar Alfian.

All England champions in 2023 and 2024 admit to doing everything they can to get up before fighting at the Japan Open 2024.

"If I do what I can to get back up again. Whatever it is, as long as the method is positive. I can meet my family, friends, and my daily activities can make my daily activities bounce back," said Fajar.

"It's the same, really. It's definitely not easy to get up from failure. However, we will try to always enjoy the process even though it hasn't worked."

"Life is also going on, it's impossible for us to stop here. So, we will continue to enjoy and will definitely try even harder," said Rian.

Sementara itu, Fajar/Rian mengungkapkan bahwa mereka ingin naik podium di Jepang Open 2024. Terpentingnya, mereka ingin tampil terbaik di setiap laga untuk mewujudkan target itu.

"Maybe the preparation is very short, but that doesn't mean we don't have a target. We still want to achieve maximum results, the best results are on the podium," said Fajar Alfian.
