jpnn.com – Badminton player Anthony Sinisuka Ginting’s defeat in the final match of Group H at the 2024 Paris Olympics against French men’s singles player Toma Junior Popov left a wound.
In the match held at the Port de la Chapelle Arena, Paris, Wednesday (31/7/2024), the player born on 20 October 1996 was confirmed to be eliminated after losing with a score of 19-21, 21-17, 15-21.
In another match, Jonatan Christie also packed his bags from the 2024 Paris Olympics after losing to Indian men’s singles player, Lakshya Sen 18-21 and 12-21.
This result means that the Indonesian men’s singles sector failed to continue its positive trend since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
Previously, the Red and White men’s singles team always placed its representatives in the last 16 of the Olympics.
In the Tokyo 2020 edition, two Red and White representatives who competed, namely Jonatan Christie and Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, advanced from the group stage.
It will be interesting to wait for the evaluation carried out by PBSI after the failure of two Indonesian men’s singles at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Moreover, before leaving for the world’s biggest sporting event, Indonesian badminton players underwent intensive training with the help of an ad hoc team.(pbsi/mcr16/jpnn)
