Athletics, weightlifting, and sepak takraw are key components of the Indonesian contingent's agenda at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday, as a number of Indonesian athletes continue to battle to increase their medal tally.
In athletics, Emilia Nova will compete in the women's heptathlon in the Aichi cluster . She is scheduled to compete in the long jump and javelin, then compete in the pole vault and 800-meter run.
The heptathlon consists of seven events, and athletes' final positions are determined by accumulated points across all events. Therefore, consistency is key for Emilia in her quest for a podium finish.
Indonesia also fielded Zaenal Fanani and Feri Yudoyono in the men's cross-country cycling event . Both are scheduled to compete in the cross-country race in today's athletics series.
Meanwhile, in the weightlifting event, Natasya Beteyob will compete in the women's 61-kilogram event at the Nagoya City Trade and Industry Center. She will aim to record the best total lift to compete for a medal in that class.
