He is the current Indonesian national record holder for the half marathon, which he achieved at the 2024 Gold Coast Marathon, [7] and also the marathon, which he achieved at the 2025 Asics Gold Coast Marathon. Syianturi earned a bronze medal in the 5,000 m race during the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia. [8]
Syianturi's athletic talent was discovered by his physical education teacher in 2014 in his hometown on the island of Belitung. At that time, Syianturi was more interested in football than long-distance running. [9]
Syianturi made his first podium appearance at the 2021 PON event in Papua, representing the province of Bangka Belitung Islands. Although he did not win a gold medal, Syianturi managed to win one silver medal for the 1,500 m race and one bronze medal for the 5,000 m race. [10]
At the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia, Syianturi won a bronze medal for the 5,000 m race with a time of 14:43:44. [11]
Syianturi competed in the 2024 Tokyo Marathon, which was held in Tokyo, on 3 March 2024. He was the 100th finisher in his debut at the Tokyo Marathon with a time of 2:24:18. Syianturi is ranked 100th out of a total of 38,000 Tokyo Marathon participants. [12]
Syianturi broke the Indonesian national record for the half marathon at the 2024 Gold Coast Marathon with a time of 1:04:48. The previous record had been 1:05:34, set by Eduardus Nabunome in 1997 at the same event. [13]
At the 2024 PON, Syianturi won three medals for the province of Bangka Belitung Islands, a silver medal for the 1,500 m race, a bronze medal for the 5,000 m race, and a gold medal for the 10,000 m race. Syianturi won the gold medal after beating Rikki Marthin Luther Simbolon by only 0.01 seconds. [14]
