  1. Huge congrats of him. I really proud of his effort. Deserved it. I am sorry to hear that Sam Watson in Small Final, but atleast he got World Record in Olympics. Both of them are great. Once again, congrats.

  2. INDONESIA! PROK ๐Ÿ‘ PROK ๐Ÿ‘ PROK ๐Ÿ‘ PROK ๐Ÿ‘ PROK ๐Ÿ‘!

    Matching WR to win gold is superb.

  3. 1. First ever Indonesian to win Olympics gold medal outside of badminton.

    2. First ever Indonesian to win Olympics medal in climbing.

    Congrats to him!

  4. The creator of the wall never thought they would reach such speed. Itโ€™s insane.

    Well done Indonesia ๐Ÿ‘

  5. Indonesia are op in speed climbing ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I wish you guys had won one in the womens competition.

  6. Wonby 0.02 sec

    Insane

    So happy we finally got a gold after a disastrous performance by the badminton team

  7. Congrats Indonesia!. A shame one of the other Indonesian athlete went out early, both of them are crazy fast.

  8. This was so stressful ahhh it was so close! Super happy for Leonardo, what an amazing win.

  9. This event is our only hope for gold in this olympics and this madlad fucking delivers. Rise up Veddriq!

  10. Speed climbing seems like a cool addition to the olympics. Climbing is already a part of it, but bouldering and the normal climbing are quite slow and calculated. Then you have a speedclimbing match where 2 human geckos climb a 15m wall in 5 seconds.

  11. Btw 4.75s is supposedly the world record, but just minutes before this, Sam Watson broke it again with 4.74s

  12. Great news. It is always good to see greater diversity in medal winners, rather than just America, China, and Europe.

  13. Meanwhile the women’s event was won by Poland.

    So all the organizers had to do for the medal ceremony was flip the flag.

  14. These guys are insanely atheltic like god mode, those 0.02 seconds is nothing but they make a crazy diffrence in olympics man.

  15. Well done, Indonesia!

  16. Happy to see Indonesia win a gold, they’re usually one of the biggest underperformers when it comes to population.

    Does this type of climbing always use the same configuration of the climbing wall or do they change it for each event/round?

  17. Some already talked about worst Olympics for Indonesia since 1988, it turned out us Indonesians are just not patient enough
