actually, they are the current no1 pair, since they qualify for the olympics, must be ranked higher no?
Race to Yokyo rankings were different from BWF rankings.

Now he got bullied in his social media by the fans, deservely so
There's a low quality clip here, the only thing I saw so farstill waiting to see the throw racquet tantrum clip to be posted...
They lost to both wang/lee and aaron/soh for the first time in this olympics, it had nothing to do with the opponent figured them out with all due respect, they just choke badly as usualI think the problem with the minions is that they peaked after Rio 2016. They won so many SS but after a while, other teams and coaches started to analyze how the minions were winning, and figured them out for the biggest tournaments, such as the WC and Olympics. In addition, being ranked #1 adds more pressure on them to perform at the WC and Olympics.
An example of a doubles team that peaked at the right time was Matsutomo/Takashi before Rio 2016. Matsutomo/Takashi had won a few SS before Rio 2016 but it was still uncertain whether they were really the best WD team heading into Rio 2016. And less people expected Matsutomo/Takashi to win gold at Rio 2016 so there was less pressure on them. Plus, few teams and coaching staff had figured out the details of Matsutomo/Takashi's weaknesses before Rio 2016. Matsutomo/Takashi would continue to win more SS for another year, but then other WD teams and opposing national coaching staff started to catch on to Matsutomo/Takashi's weaknesses. Then Matsutomo/Takashi became beatable, just one year after Rio 2016.
Too bad the minions didn't peak just before Rio 2016. None of the teams would have figured them out yet and they would have had a better chance at winning the gold medal.

I will be super disappointed if herry keep this partnership after this disaster, indonesia MD has always been about delivering in big event and minions has failed to do that time and time again. fajar/rian is a good talent and individually they're great, there's no reason for the coach to not try a new partnership.
It would seem that nervous jitters are paralyzing some of the top players at this OG. Like Momota, WataHiga, WataEndo, MatsuNaga, and also surprisingly this INA pair. Very unusual of them to keep serving into the net or hitting shots into the net or way long and wide. Definitely the pressure of the once in 4 years event is messing up their mentality, especially if they are the top ones that are targeted by others and expected to medal.

Too bad. will they stay for 2024? Not easy for Gideon age.![]()
What's the point of that tho, at least before ahsan/hendra rejoin the coach knew their record in big event.Maybe they will do the same story as Ashan/Setiawan. Split up for a few years and then rejoin.
Pair Kevin with someone who is not a liability in service & defense.
