JAKARTA - Indonesia has confirmed six representatives who will appear in the badminton sport at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. However, that number could increase.

Indonesian women's singles, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, has the opportunity to add to the Indonesian representative slot in the four-year event. Currently, he is in 15th place on the Race to Tokyo ranking.

Gregoria admitted that he really wanted to qualify for the Olympics. According to him, it is the main goal of all players, including himself, to be able to appear at the Olympics.

"Just back to his admission. I want to qualify for the Olympics not because of the highest, but I qualify in ranking. So I feel more satisfied personally,"

If they qualify, this will be the first Olympics of Gregoria's career. For that, the 20-year-old athlete wants to give the best for himself and the Indonesian nation.

The most important thing is to do your best, because opportunities may not come twice. Not necessarily in four years. I want to get a gold medal too, "said Gregoria.

However, Gregoria Mariska's position is still somewhat vulnerable. The player from Mutiara Cardinal Bandung could have been evicted by other players if he did not make good use of the qualifications that will take place next year.
