The Indonesian climbing team achieved a strong performance at the 2026 World Climbing Series Krakow, bringing home a total of four medals. The haul included one gold, one silver, and two bronze medals from the speed climbing disciplines held in Poland from July 3-5.

Desak Made Rita Kusuma Dewi emerged as the standout athlete for Indonesia, clinching three medals. She secured a gold in the women's individual event with a swift time of 6.54 seconds, narrowly defeating Natalia Kalucka of Poland. Dewi also earned a silver medal in the mixed relay, partnering with Antasyafi Robby Al Hilmi, where they set an Asian record before being bested by a world record performance from the American pair.

Additionally, Dewi contributed to the team's medal count with a bronze in the women's relay, alongside Rajiah Sallsabillah. The second bronze medal for Indonesia was won by Raharjati Nursamsa in the men's individual relay. However, the men's relay event proved to be the only discipline where the Indonesian contingent did not secure a medal.

Despite strong qualifying performances from several athletes, including Aditya Tri Syahria, Robby, and Veddriq Leonardo in the men's individual event, the team faced tough competition. The overall success, however, highlights the growing strength of Indonesian climbers on the international stage.
