"Dream - The gold medalist of the 2024 Paris Olympics in the sport of weightlifting, Rizki Juniansyah, criticized the behavior of local government officials who want to 'social climb' with his achievements. Rizki admitted that he started to feel this vibe when he arrived at Soekarno Hatta International Airport, Tangerang, on Tuesday night, August 13, 2024.
"When I arrived in Indonesia, we were just welcomed, and they were, what should I say, trying to ingratiate themselves, so to speak. I apologize, I don't mean to speak ill of anyone, but this is the reality," said Rizki after being paraded around the city of Serang, quoted from the Instagram account @folkshitt."

"According to him, athletes actually need support from various institutions to achieve maximum performance. Moreover, Rizki said, the achievements of the athletes also bring honor to their regions, such as the City of Serang and the Province of Banten. "I’m sorry, I don’t need to be given this and that, my appreciation only needs support and prayers, that’s enough to make me happy. They (officials) come here praising everyone, don’t look at me as if I’m world-renowned, look at my younger siblings, we train from scratch," said Rizki."

"Rizki Juniansyah broke the record after successfully winning a gold medal in the men's weightlifting event for the 73kg category at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
