Jakarta: As the new year has arrived, the highly anticipated multi-sport event Paris 2024 Summer Olympics is getting closer. The event will be an opportunity for Indonesian athletes to prove themselves and excel.
The 2024 Olympics will become the 33rd edition of the games after modern Olympic games were introduced in 1896. It is the third time for France to host the multi-sport event after previously in 1900 and 1924.
So far, five Indonesian athletes have secured a spot to compete in the event that will take place from July 26 to August 11.
Nevertheless, there are still opportunities for other athletes to join archers Arif Dwi Pangestu and Diananda Choirunisa, gymnast Rifda Irfanalutfi, and climbers Desak Made Rita and Rahmad Adi Mulyono to compete in the event held every four years.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports, Indonesian Olympic Committee (KOI), and National Sports Committee of Indonesia (KONI) are targeting more athletes to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
A sense of determination in the athletes and administrators coupled with the prayers of the people are expected to ignite the spirit, so that more familiar names from Indonesia will be able to compete in Paris.
Apart from that, Indonesian young athletes are also expected to be able to create new history for the country.
