Indonesia first participated in the Olympic Games in 1952 and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since then, except for two; in 1964 due to controversy around the 1962 Asian Games when they banned Israel and the then-internationally recognized Republic of China which resulted in a ban for their track and field team, and in 1980, when they participated in the U.S.-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics. The National Olympic Committee for Indonesia was created in 1946 and recognized in 1952. The country has never participated in the Winter Olympic Games, which can be explained by the lack of sporting facilities for winter sports on its territory.[1]
As of 2024, Indonesian athletes have won a total of 40 medals, 22 in badminton, 16 in weightlifting, and 1 each in archery and sport climbing. Among countries in Southeast Asia, Indonesia ranks second behind Thailand in terms of both the number of gold medals (10) and the overall medals (40). Archers Lilies Handayani, Nurfitriyana Saiman and Kusuma Wardhani gained Indonesia's first-ever podium finish (a silver medal) in the women's team event at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Future married couple Susi Susanti and Alan Budikusuma won the country's first two gold medals in the badminton women's and men's singles events, respectively, at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Barcelona 1992 was also the first Games in which Indonesia won multiple gold medals. Since then, Indonesia has won at least one gold medal at every Olympic Games, with the exception of 2012 London Olympics.[2]
In badminton, Indonesia is one of the two countries, along with China, to have won gold medals in all of the sport's five disciplines at the Olympics.[3]
The country's most recent gold medalist is Rizki Juniansyah, who won the 2024 men's 73 kg event in weightlifting, breaking the Clean & Jerk Olympic record in the process.[4][5] At the age of 21 years, 1 month and 22 days, he became the youngest Indonesian athlete to win an Olympic gold medal, surpassing Susi Susanti who was 21 years, 5 months and 24 days when she won in 1992.[6] His gold medal came just hours after his compatriot Veddriq Leonardo won the speed event of sport climbing.[7][8] Both men became the first Indonesian athletes to win an Olympic gold medal outside of badminton.[9] With two gold medals, the 2024 Paris Olympics is Indonesia's best Olympic performance since 1992.[10]
