Veddriq Leonardo (born 11 March 1997) is an Indonesian competition climber who specializes in competition speed climbing. He has held the world record for the discipline for about a year twice, first after setting it[1] en route to winning the men's speed climbing event at the 2021 IFSC Climbing World Cup in Salt Lake City, and again at the 2023 IFSC Climbing World Cup in Seoul.[2] He is the current Olympic champion, having won speed climbing in 2024, thus becoming the first Indonesian non-badminton Olympic gold medalist.[3][4]
He was first introduced to competition climbing in his first year of high school. In 2014, he participated in his first national championship in Tanjung Balai Karimun, where he was finished the top eight. In 2016, he won his first medal (bronze) in the junior national championship in Bangka Belitung. His first international event was 2018 Moscow World Cup where he placed third.[5]
