jpnn.com – Indonesian men’s doubles pair Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto still have a big chance to advance to the quarter-finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics even though the victory they got in the previous match was officially erased.
Fajar/Rian’s victory no longer counted after their opponents, Mark Lamsfuss/Marvin Seidel, decided to withdraw.
The German men’s doubles pair will not be able to continue their journey in Paris 2024 because Lamsfuss suffered a knee injury.
The withdrawal of Lamsfuss/Seidel has resulted in a loss for Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto.
Fajar/Rian’s victory over Lamsfuss/Seidel no longer counts, so their points are lost.
The reason is, based on BWF rules, when a player withdraws in the group phase, the results obtained by that player and future results will be deleted.
Previously, Fajar/Rian won 21-13, 21-17 over Lamsfuss/Seidel in the first match of Group C of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Saturday (27/7/2024).
Currently, the Paris 2024 Group C competition only has Fajar/Rian, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty (India) and Lucas Corvee/Ronan Labar (France) left.
