Veddriq Leonardo (born 11 March 1997) is an Indonesian competition speed climber. 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]
