Climbing was officially included in the Olympics for the first time at the pandemic-delayed Games in Tokyo in 2021. He clocked the fastest time in the men’s speed final yesterday, leaving the competition in the dust and setting an Asian Games record with a 4.95s climb – but only won a bronze medal due to a quirk in the tournament’s rules.Fellow Indonesian Desak Made Rita Kusuma Dewi took home the gold medal in the women’s final, beating China’s Deng Lijuan by a whisker while also setting a Games record of 6.52s.Their success is not by accident.
“Indonesian wall climbers have always been good because there are many wall-climbing facilities in the country, both natural ones and man-made facilities,” Hardiono said.
