jpnn.comPARIS – Gregoria Mariska Tunjung will be Indonesia’s last badminton bullet at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Jorji – Gregoria’s nickname – is the only Red and White badminton delegate who is still surviving in this four-yearly event.
Meanwhile, other Indonesian mainstays, such as Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, Jonatan Christie (men’s singles), Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto (men’s doubles), Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti (women’s doubles), and Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari (mixed doubles) have been eliminated from Paris 2024.
Meanwhile, Jorji has just booked a ticket to the quarter-finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics after defeating Korean representative Kim Ga Eun.
Jorji wins through fighting rubber game with a score of 21-4, 8-21, 23-21 at the Porte de La Chapelle Arena, Paris, Friday (2/8/2024) early morning WIB.
Next, Jorji will challenge Thai champion Ratchanok Intanon in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Jorji is Indonesia’s only hope so that the dark memories of the 2012 London Olympics will not be repeated.
Since winning gold at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Indonesian badminton has only failed to win a medal at London 2012.
