SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Menteri Pemuda dan Olahraga (Menpora) Dito Ariotedjo tidak khawatir meski atlet Olimpiade 2024 berguguran di Indonesia Open 2024.
Sebanyak 6 (enam) wakil Indonesia di cabor bulu tangkis yang berhasil lolos ke Olimpiade Paris 2-24 yang akan bergulir pada 26 Juli - 11 Agustus 2024.
Keenam atlet tersebut yaitu Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, Jonatan Christie, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto, Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti, dan Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari.
Namun, keenam nama diatas telah gugur di Indonesia Open 2024.
Dari keenam nama tersebut, hanya Gregoria yang berhasil maju hingga perempat final meski harus setelahnya harus mengakui ketangguhan dari Wang Zhi Yi (China).
Sementara itu, Ginting, Jonatan, Fajar/Rian harus tersingkir di babak awal yakni 32 besar dan Apriyani/Fadia berhenti di babak 16 besar Indonesia Open 2024.
Melihat hasil keenam wakil tersebut, Menpora Dito mengaku tidak khawatir dan memiliki keyakinan bahwa para pemain akan tampil lebih prima saat di Olimpiade nanti.
"Saya tidak khawatir karena saya rasa memang pasti sudah ada pertimbangan baik dari pelatih maupun atlet itu sendiri," ujar Dito, Jumat (8/6/2024).
"Saya yakin di Olimpiade akan prima dan siap berhadapan dengan nomor-nomor satu di dunia," lanjutnya.
Meski yakin di Olimpiade akan lebih prima, Dito tetap meminta PBSI untuk evaluasi dan memastikan para wakil yang lolos Olimpiade dalam kondisi prima.
Ia juga menyampaikan bahwa para atlet haru memiliki jeda sebelum Olimpiade. Tujuannya agar para atlet tetap relax karena tekanan yang sudah semakin kuat kepada mereka jelang Olimpiade.
