   Indonesia's mixed doubles badminton pair, Rinov Rivaldy and Pitha Haningtyas Mentari, made a surprising start by defeating the South Korean pair, Kim Won Ho/Jeong Na Eun.

Although six Indonesian representatives have been eliminated, many more events await the remaining Indonesian athletes at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The fighting spirit and full support from the Indonesian people are expected to provide positive energy for the athletes who are still striving to achieve their best performance at the world's biggest sporting event.
