The Summer Olympics in Paris, France, are preparing to open the competition from July 26, 2024 to August 11, 2024. This competition has 51 Thai athletes traveling to win medals and the greatest honors in life. The question that follows is how much hope do we have for writing a new page in history from our world-class sporting event? Who is the representative of the country with the highest chance of becoming the new hero? Today,V9Bet will take all our respected members on a journey to find the answer together.
Four years ago, there were more than 41 Thai athletes who traveled to compete in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. However, the results were disappointing, as they only won two medals, the fewest since the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. They won one gold medal from Panipak Wongpattanakit, who defeated Spanish taekwondo athlete Adriana Cerezo Gonzalez in the 49 kg category, and one bronze medal from Sudaporn Seesondee, who lost to Irish boxer Kelly Harrington in the semifinals of the 60 kg category.
However, there were many athletes who performed impressively, for example, Chatchai Decha Butdee, a male amateur boxer in the 52 kg category, who lost to a Cuban competitor, Lazaro Alvarez, by 2-3 votes in the last 8, or Issarapha Imprasetsuk The female skeet shooter who made it to the finals unfortunately finished in 4th place, or the mixed badminton doubles Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai who lost to their Japanese competitors Yuta Watanabe and Erika Higashino in the quarter-finals by a narrow 1-2 game, despite leading first.
The athlete who performed disappointingly in the Sydney Olympics was the former world number 1 Ratchanok Intanon, the Thai female singles badminton player who was in perfect physical condition and was in a period of confidence, but ended up only in the quarter-finals after being unlucky to meet a tough opponent from Taiwan, Tai Tzu Ying, and lost by a narrow 1-2 game, despite leading first. Another athlete was female golfer Ariya Jutanugarn, the former world number 1, who ended the competition with a score of 1 over par, finishing in joint 43rd place out of 60 competitors. Ratchanok will have another chance to make amends in the Paris Olympics.
The 33rd Summer Olympics, out of a total of 51 Thai athletes, is divided into 48 sports. Although there are 36 new athletes, or 70.5%, the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) aims to achieve success again, expecting gold medals from 6 sports: 1 weightlifting medal, 1 taekwondo medal, 2 amateur boxing medals, 1 badminton medal, and 1 golf medal. If successful, it will be a project that will change the history of Thai sports.
For 1 weightlifting medal, there are 4 athletes for the Thai cheering team. The Olympics are cheering for Thiraphong Silachai in the 61kg men's category, Wiraphon Wichuma in the 73kg men's category, Surajana Khambao in the 49kg women's category, and Duang-akson Jaidee in the 81kg women's category. As for Taekwondo, there are 3 athletes who have won 1 medal: Banlang Thapthimdaeng in the 68kg men's category, Panipak Wongpattanakit in the 49kg women's category, and Sasikarn Thongchan in the 67kg women's category. As for Golf, there are 4 athletes who have won 1 medal: Kiradech Aphibarnrat in the men's individual category, Phachara Kongwatmai in the men's individual category, Atthaya Thitikul in the women's individual category, and Paphangkorn Thavathanakit in the women's individual category.
In badminton, where 1 gold medal is expected, there are 9 athletes to watch and cheer for, divided into 6 categories: men's singles Kulwut Vitidsarn, women's singles Ratchanok Intanon, women's singles Supanida Ketthong, men's doubles Suphak Jomkoh and Kittinupong Ketsuren, women's doubles Jongkolphan Kititharakul and Rawinda Prajongjai, and mixed doubles Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai. Finally, in amateur boxing, 2 gold medals are expected from 8 athletes: men's flyweight Thitisan Punmode, men's lightweight Banjong Sinsiri, men's middleweight Weerapol Jongjohor, women's flyweight Juthamas Raksat, women's bantamweight Juthamas Jitpong, women's lightweight Thananya Samnuk, women's welterweight Janjaem Suwanpheng, and women's middleweight Baison. Gemstone.
Although the SAT expects up to 6 gold medals from the Thai athletes, V9Bet believes that it will be difficult to achieve the goal because success in a sporting event like the Olympics is not enough just because of skill. It is necessary to rely on luck to help support it. And these are the 3 Thai athletes who we believe have the highest chance of winning medals for Thais to admire, considering their outstanding potential over competitors from other countries.
Panipak Wongpattanakit insists that this will be her last Olympic competition. Despite being only 26 years old, online sports bettors V9Bet found that she started playing taekwondo since she was 9 years old. She has achieved success in every form, whether it be the Thailand Championship, the Asian Championship, or the World Championship. She has also unlocked gold medals in every major tournament, from the SEA Games, the Asian Games, to the Olympic Games. In the competition in Paris, "Tennis" has a chance to make history as the first Thai athlete to win three consecutive Olympic medals.
Chuthamas Jitpong started boxing Muay Thai since she was 10 years old before turning to amateur boxing at the age of 13 because it was a more promising path. That decision was a turning point because "Fiew" was able to successfully make it to the national team at the age of 19 and won a quota for the 2020 Olympics by chance after North Korea withdrew from the competition. The athlete's ticket was then passed on to someone else with a lower performance. Although she ultimately did not reach her goal and was eliminated in the last 8, with a silver medal from the 2022 World Championship, the 2024 Olympics is the stage where this tomboyish 26-year-old is ready to shine.
“Bas” Dechapol Puavaranukroh and “Po” Sapsiree Taerattanachai are the best mixed doubles pairs in Thai history. “Bas” is a world youth champion in men’s doubles, while “Po” is a multi-time world youth champion, as well as having success in women’s doubles and mixed doubles. The collaboration of “Bas-Po” has made them a strong team, making history by winning 3 consecutive World Tour Super 1000 championships in 3 weeks. Although the 2020 Olympics will end in the last 8 teams, if the weather is good, the sports news team believes that they do not need to fear anyone.
