Kadek Dwi wins Indonesia’s second gold and breaks discus world record
The 18-year-old threw 49.75 metres in the men’s F57 discus at the Asian Para Games, surpassing his own world record.
Indonesia claimed its second gold at the 2026 Asian Para Games when I Kadek Dwi Purwana Yasa won the men’s F57 discus with a world-record throw of 49.75 metres on 20 October. The competition took place at Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium.
The 18-year-old from Mengwi, Badung, Bali, finished ahead of Uzbekistan’s Yorkinbek Odilov, who took silver with 45.1 metres. Iraq’s Hussein Khazaee earned bronze after throwing 45.06 metres.
Kadek Dwi improved on the world record he had set earlier in the year. His previous mark of 48.68 metres came at a competition in Tlaxcala, Mexico, around the middle of the year.
His winning effort also surpassed the Asian Para Games record of 47.77 metres held by China’s Guo Shan Wu.
The result brought Indonesia’s medal tally to two golds, three silvers and 14 bronzes. Swimmer Maulana Rifky Yavianda had delivered the country’s first gold in the men’s S12 100-metre freestyle.
