The Head of Development and Achievement of PBSI. Rexy Mainaky, said he is disappointed by Tontowi's statement. Tontowi said in a statement that he had been given pressure to win the title.
"We didn't ask him to be the champion, he is the one who should have wanted to be the champion. He won the world championship and All England. The statement in unprofessional. Pressure is there for sure because this is Indonesia Open. But if it cannot be handled now, how will it be at the Olympic?" said Ricky to the media.
As we all know, Owi and his partner Liliyana Natsir lost from the newly paired Danish doubles, Kim Astrup/Line Kjaersfeldt in the first round. Rexy said the defeat might occur because Owi saw the Danish woman player was a singles so it made him not focus and get carried away emotionally.
Revamping must be done in the next two months. The 2016 BIOSSP seeded players will represent Indonesia at the 2016 Rio Olympic, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, August 5-22.
"Approaching the Olympic leaves us little time. But with the time that we got now there are so many things that can be improved. Now it is up to them, whether they want to maintain their performance until the peak at the Olympic," said Rexy.
