Indonesian athletes shone at the 2025 IFSC World Cup in Kraków Poland with double gold medals. Raharjati Nursamsa and Desak Made Rita Kusuma Dewi won the men’s and women’s speed climbing titles on Sunday (6 July).
In the all-Indonesian men’s final, Nursamsa surpassed in-form climber Kiromal Katibin for only the second World Cup victory of his career.
Nursamsa took the win over Katibin in an Asian record time of 4.73 seconds.
Katibin had to settle with a silver medal. However, he still maintains the lead in the overall World Cup standings with his gold and two third-place finishes this season.
Omasa Ryo of Japan won the bronze medal against America’s Zach Hammer in a time of 5.49s. Hammer recovered from a stumble before falling halfway up the wall to give Omasa an easier route to victory.
World record holder Sam Watson of the United States failed to make it into the knockout rounds following a false start in qualification.
In the women’s competition, reigning world champion Dewi sprinted to a maiden World Cup title. She achieved a personal best of 6.27s in Kraków Sport Climbing World Cup.
Emma Hunt of the United States bagged the silver medal ahead of Olympic speed climbing champion and world record holder Aleksandra Miroslaw. Miroslaw prevailed over Polish compatriot Natalia Kalucka in a tightly contested race.
