JAKARTA - The 2022 Rock Climbing World Cup or ISFC World Cup Jakarta 2022 officially opened on Saturday, September 24. This prestigious event was opened directly by the Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Zainudin Amali
The 2022 Rock Climbing World Cup will be held in Lot 16-17 SCBD, Jakarta. This event in Jakarta is the closing series of the 2022 Rock Climbing World Cup series for the speed category.
In his remarks, the Minister of Youth and Sports expressed his pride because the Indonesian Rock Climbing Federation (FPTI) was able to bring this prestigious event to Indonesia.
"Our old dream has just come true to be able to host the Rock Climbing World Cup. I appreciate FPTI because Indonesia was finally able to hold an event of this magnitude," Amali said, as quoted by Antara.
As a leading sport in the Great Design of National Sports (DBON), the Minister of Youth and Sports hopes that Indonesian athletes can achieve the best results as well as break the world record which is currently also held by Red and White athletes, namely Kiromal Katibin with 5.00 seconds for the men's speed number.
"Hopefully the records and world titles that we have will be maintained and we can break records in this event. Then, we hope that in the future we can produce medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics," said the man from Gorontalo.
Based on data from FPTI, Indonesia fielded 42 athletes consisting of 22 speed athletes and 20 lead athletes, with details from the male speed category of 12 people and 10 women, while the leaders were 10 men and 10 daughters.
Of the number of athletes who fell, Kiromal Katibin and Veddriq Leonardo had the opportunity to win the overall title for the 2022 World Cup speed category in Jakarta.
Based on records from the International Rock Climbing Federation (IFSC), these two Indonesian athletes occupy the first and second positions of the 2022 World Cup standings number speed.
Veddriq, who became the overall champion of last year's edition of the men's speed, is at the top of the standings with a collection of 3910 points, followed by Katibin in second place with 3275 points.
If Veddriq or Katibin can become the fastest in the championship in Jakarta, one of them will get an additional 1000 points and ensure the men's 2022 World Cup overall title.
Veddriq and Katibin's chances of becoming overall champions can only be tackled if Spanish representatives Erik Noya Cardona become champions in the Jakarta Series later.
