Indonesia Secures Two Bronze Medals at Asian Games 2026

Sepak Takraw and Mountain Biking Additions

The women’s sepak takraw team claimed their bronze medal by defeating Japan in a hard-fought third-place playoff. Indonesia secured the victory 2-0 across four closely contested sets at the Games venues in Japan. In the mountain biking competition, Feri Yudoyono earned the nation’s first cycling medal of the event by finishing third in the men’s cross-country single event. Feri completed the course in 1 hour, 25 minutes, and 41 seconds, finishing 26 seconds behind China’s Jinwei Yuan, who claimed the silver medal.

Standings and Regional Position

With these two bronze medals added to the tally, Indonesia’s overall collection stands at one gold, four silver, and 17 bronze medals. The total of 22 medals places the contingent 17th in the provisional overall standings as of Friday afternoon. This marks a one-place drop from the previous day’s ranking following the men’s badminton team gold medal victory over China earlier in the week. Despite the shift in the overall table, Indonesia remains third among Southeast Asian nations, trailing Thailand—which sits seventh overall with six golds, four silvers, and seven bronzes—and Malaysia, positioned 11th with three golds, one silver, and five bronzes.

Upcoming Medal Opportunities

Competition continues across multiple disciplines for the Indonesian contingent. Athletes remain active in several sports offering podium potential on Friday, including the women’s 61-kilogram weightlifting category, esports, athletics, and shooting events. The broader medal table continues to be led by China, followed by host nation Japan and South Korea in the top tier of the provisional standings.
