jpnn.com – Badminton player Jonatan Christie had to end his adventure at the 2024 Paris Olympics tragically.
The player born on September 15, 1997 was stopped in the Group L phase after losing to the Indian men’s singles player, Lakshya Sen 18-21 and 12-21 at the Port de la Chapelle Arena, Paris, Wednesday (31/7/2024).
This result stopped the progress of the PB Tangkas players because they only became runners-up in Group L.
Chef de Mission (CdM) of the Indonesian Team at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Anindya Bakrie, said that the defeat experienced by Jojo – Jonatan’s nickname – was a surprise.
Moreover, in major world sporting events, anything can happen, so it requires full focus when competing.
“I saw it firsthand, the opponent was indeed very tough. However, it was a match, there were winners and losers. This is the Olympics, there are many surprises,” said Anin.
In this match, the 2018 Asian Games gold medalist seemed unable to escape the pressure so he had to admit the superiority of the 2022 All England runner-up within 50 minutes.
“Of course I’m very sorry, but this is the game. Until now I still don’t know what to do. I played my best earlier. A small mistake at the end of the first half made the enemy confident,” said Jonatan.
