  "account": "The Indonesian Badminton Federation (PBSI) has yet to secure a gold medal at the BWF World Championships after a seven-year wait. At the 2026 edition in New Delhi, mixed doubles pairing Amri Syahnawi and Nita Violina Marwah were eliminated in the semifinals after a grueling 97-minute contest against world No. 1 Feng Yan Zhe and Huang Dong Ping of China. The Chinese pair prevailed 22-20, 14-21, 20-22, leaving Amri/Nita with a bronze medal and Indonesia without a world champion. Since Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan's victory in 2019, Indonesia has collected five medals across different disciplines at the World Championships, but none of them are gold.",
