Tokyo, Jul 25 (PTI) Top Indonesian shuttler Jonatan Christie has dedicated his first victory in the Olympics to his late elder brother Ivan, whose death changed his family forever and compelled him to briefly abandon his thriving badminton career.
The Asian Games gold medallist''s quest for a maiden appearance at the Games also took a backseat after Ivan died of COVID-19 earlier this year.
