SEAToday.com, Jakarta-Pebulu tangkis Indonesia, Marcus Fernaldi Gideon, memutuskan pensiun dari dunia bulu tangkis di momen hari ulang tahun ke-33-nya, Sabtu (9/3). Marcus Gideon gantung raket setelah 25 tahun berkarya di dunia bulu tangkis. Hal ini ia sampaikan di Instagram pribadinya (@marcusfernaldig).

Pertimbangan cedera dan usia yang mulai menua turut menjadi alasan di balik keputusan pensiun Gideon. Namun, sebelumnya, ia telah mengantongi banyak gelar juara sepanjang kariernya di dunia bulu tangkis, termasuk ketika bersama “The Minions”, julukan dirinya bersama Kevin Sanjaya.

Marcus Fernaldi Gideon adalah seorang atlet bulu tangkis Indonesia kelahiran 9 Maret 1991. Ia sudah berlatih bulu tangkis sejak usia dini. Pada usia 9 tahun, ia sukses menjuarai Victorian International Challenge pada 2009 bersama klub Tangkas Jakarta di Australia.

Semasa kecil, Gideon mengaku sering dianggap sebelah mata dan dinilai tidak mempunyai masa depan cerah karena memiliki postur tubuh yang tidak tinggi. Namun, Gideon berhasil membuktikan keberhasilan dan kesuksesannya di dunia bulu tangkis.

Gideon meraih kesuksesan besar saat berpasangan dengan Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. Ia telah mendapatkan setidaknya 19 gelar juara ajang BWF Series kala berpasangan dengan Kevin. Keduanya dikenal dengan julukan “The Minions”. Duetnya dengan Kevin menjadi pencapaian terbaiknya, bahkan sempat menjadi pasangan nomor satu dunia. 

Selain dengan Kelvin, Gideon pernah berpasangan dengan Nandang Arif Saputra, Agripina Prima Rahmanto, Gabriela Stoeva, Markis Kido. (DHITA/DKD)
