jpnn.com – Badminton player Gregoria Mariska Tunjung saved Indonesia’s face at the 2024 Paris Olympics after advancing to the quarter-finals.
Competing at the Porte de La Chapelle Arena, Paris, Friday (2/8/2024) early morning WIB, the women’s singles player born on 11 August 1999 defeated the Korean representative, Kim Ga Eun through a rubber game 21-4, 8-21, 23-21.
In this match, the player from Wonogiri played tactically against the women’s singles from the Land of Ginseng.
However, Jorji’s game – Gregoria’s nickname – slackened in the second game.
Luckily, in the deciding game, the 2017 BWF World Junior Championship champion remained calm during critical points to end the match with a win in 55 minutes.
“It’s definitely a relief to win this tiring match. For me, it was quite a burden, especially with the current situation where I live alone.”
“I felt the pressure was very strong for me when I entered the field, but when the match started I could feel better,” said Mikha Angelo’s partner in a written release.
The world’s eighth-ranked women’s singles player’s competitive mentality deserves appreciation.
