2026 Asian Games Medal Table: Indonesia Holds 17th Place with 22

Nagoya, Aktualita.co — Indonesia's medal tally at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games continues to grow. As of Friday (25/9/2026) afternoon, the Red and White contingent has collected 22 medals, placing them 17th in the provisional standings.

Based on the medal table update at 12:40 PM WIB, Indonesia's collection consists of one gold, four silver, and 17 bronze medals.

This position has shifted compared to updates from a few hours earlier. On Friday morning, Indonesia briefly held 16th place following additional medal wins. However, the movement of other countries' medal tallies pushed Indonesia down one spot to 17th by the afternoon.

Chinese Taipei moved up to 16th place after collecting one gold, five silver, and 12 bronze medals, for a total of 18.

Although their total medal count is lower than Indonesia's, Chinese Taipei ranks higher because the Asian Games standings are determined by the number of gold medals. If the gold count is tied, silver medals become the next tie-breaker.

Indonesia Has Collected 22 Medals

Indonesia's tally as of Friday afternoon:

Gold: 1

Silver: 4

Bronze: 17

Total: 22 medals

Provisional Rank: 17

Indonesia's first gold medal at the 2026 Asian Games came from the men's team badminton event.

The Red and White team secured the gold after a dramatic 3-2 victory over China in the final match on Thursday (24/9).

Indonesia was in a difficult position after trailing 0-2. However, the players managed to turn the situation around, with the victory in the fifth match securing Indonesia's first gold medal of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games.

This success also ended Indonesia's wait for a gold medal after the first few days of the event were dominated by silver and bronze finishes.

Feri Yudoyono Adds Bronze

Indonesia's tally increased again on Friday morning in mountain biking.

Feri Yudoyono successfully captured a bronze medal in the men's cross-country event. In that race, the gold medal was won by Yuan Jinwei of China, while Soejima Tatsuumi of Japan took the silver.

Feri's result brought Indonesia's bronze collection to 17 medals.

This additional medal on the seventh day of competition is important for Indonesia, as several sports are still contesting events that could change the standings throughout Friday.

With matches ongoing, both the medal count and Indonesia's position remain subject to change until the evening.

China Still Dominating

Meanwhile, China remains far ahead of other nations at the top of the 2026 Asian Games provisional standings.

As of the Friday afternoon update, China has collected 135 medals, including 85 gold medals.

This dominance gives China a significant lead over Japan, which occupies second place.

Host nation Japan has collected 97 medals, with 22 of them being gold.

The competition for subsequent positions remains tight as many final events are being contested on Friday.

Indonesia's Opportunities to Add Medals Remain Open

The Indonesian contingent still has a number of scheduled matches on Friday.

Badminton has entered the individual events following the conclusion of the team competition. Several Red and White representatives are beginning their matches in the round of 32 to maintain the chance of adding medals from the sport that already produced Indonesia's first gold.

Attention is also focused on weightlifting.

Natasya Beteyob is scheduled to compete in the women's 61-kilogram category. The match is one of Indonesia's opportunities to add to its medal count in today's series of competitions.

Additionally, Indonesian athletes are competing in various other sports, including athletics, swimming, table tennis, beach volleyball, esports, equestrian, and several others.

The standings are expected to remain highly dynamic as the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games still have many medal events remaining.

For Indonesia, the next challenge is not only to increase the total medal collection but also to add more gold medals. A single additional gold could have a major impact on the contingent's position in the standings, as rankings are not determined by the total number of medals.
