Taufik Hidayat took gold at Athens 2004 with victory over Korea’s Shon Seung Mo in the final, and remains the last player from Indonesia to win the men’s singles title at the Olympics Games.
It was only the second time Indonesia had claimed the men’s singles title since Alan Budikusuma won the inaugural gold medal when the sport made its debut at Barcelona 1992.
Jonatan Christie and Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist Anthony Sinisuka Ginting carry the hopes for Indonesian men’s singles glory at Paris 2024.
