Hello, Readers!

Let me introduce you guys to our Indonesian youngsters, Indonesian badminton players, they play on mixed double section, and they have been paired up since 2017, or earlier (CMIIW…). They may aren’t familiar yet to you. But, I believe they are going to get famous as long their best achievements in the future. So that, I’ll let you know them first.

For Indonesian badminton lovers, I think you guys already know them before they had separated for one year in 2019. The young lady had paired up with Indonesian senior players, and the young man had been focused in the Men Double section. Unfortunately, the year isn’t their lucky moment yet like before the time. Then, in early 2020, when Tontowi Ahmad decided to retired, his new partner in XD section (after Liliyana Natsir retired), Winny Oktavina Kandow being paired up again with her previous partner.

I’ll start with the young lady named Winny Oktavina Kandow. She was born on October 14^th, 1998, in South Minahasa, North Sulawesi.

With Rinov, she only got into the semifinal, in Osaka International Series 2017, and they had beaten by Wang Sijian/Ni Bowen, Chinese youngster.
