JAKARTA – In the final match of the Vietnam 2021 SEA Games at the Bac Giang Gymnasium, Bac Giang, Sunday, May 22, Indonesia has the opportunity to add two gold medals from the badminton sport from the three representatives of the Red and White who will compete.
One gold medal has been secured because Sunday's final will bring together two Indonesian men's doubles between first seeds Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Erich Yoche Rambitan and second seeds Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin which will start at around 14.30 western Indonesia time.
This gold will be Indonesia's first gold from the men's doubles sector after being lost in the last two editions at the 2017 SEA Games Kuala Lumpur and 2019 in the Philippines.
Red and White have the opportunity to add one gold from the women's doubles number. Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, who was paired for the first time, will fight to defend the women's doubles gold medal previously won at the 2019 SEA Games in the Philippines through the pair Apriyania Rahayu/Greysia Polii.
However, Apri/Fadia's struggle to win gold this time is predicted not to be easy because they will face the second seed from Thailand, Benyapa Aimsaard/Nuntakarn Aimsaar.
