Failure at the Sudirman Cup motivated the Indonesian badminton team to perform better at the 2020 Thomas Cup. What was the key to their victory?

In the aftermath of the sanctions issued by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the Indonesian team which won the Thomas Cup had to stand on the podium without the Red and White national flag. But thanks to the quick lobbying of PBSI Chief Agung Firman Sampurna, the national anthem Indonesia Raya could be played during the trophy presentation ceremony in Denmark.

Greysia Polii and Apriyani Rahayu became the first Indonesian women’s doubles badminton players to win an Olympics gold medal. They further contribute to the growing list of Olympics gold medalists from the Jaya Raya Badminton Association in Bintaro, Jakarta.
