Hand it to Hendra as veteran has not given up on Olympics quest


Tough fight: Indonesia’s Hendra Setiawan (left) and Mohammad Ahsan beat China’s Ren Xiangyu-Tan Qiang 17-21, 21-15, 21-14 in 50 minutes.

INDONESIAN doubles ace Hendra Setiawan has a desire to attempt a feat that no player has ever done before – that is to win an Olympics gold after a lapse of 16 years at the Paris 2024 Games with Mohammad Ahsan.

Hendra, 37, won the men’s doubles gold with the late Markis Kido at the 2008 Beijing Games but failed to defend the title at the 2012 London Games after Markis withdrew from the event due to personal reasons.
