M Fadli wins cycling gold as Indonesia reaches three at Asian Para Games
The Indonesian cyclist set an Asian Para Games record of 4 minutes 50.169 seconds in the men's C4 individual pursuit final.
Indonesia's M Fadli Imammuddin claimed gold in the men's C4 4,000-metre individual pursuit at the 2026 Asian Para Games on 20 October, defeating Iran's Behrooz Farzad. His victory at Izu Velodrome in Shizuoka, Japan, brought Indonesia its third gold of the Games.
The former motorcycle racer completed the final in 4 minutes 50.169 seconds, setting an Asian Para Games record. He had also posted the fastest qualifying time, ahead of competitors from the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines and Uzbekistan.
Fadli's win followed I Kadek Dwi Purnama Yasa's gold in the men's F57 discus by less than an hour. Indonesia's first gold had come on 19 October, when Maulana Rifky Yavianda won the men's S12 100-metre freestyle swimming event. As of 12.47 WIB, Indonesia stood eighth with three golds, three silvers and 14 bronzes.
Fadli had previously won at the 2026 Asian Para Cycling Track Championship in the Philippines. His results at the 2022 Asian Para Games included a time-trial gold and an individual-pursuit silver.
