Veddriq Leonardo
IndonesiaThe reigning Olympic speed champion and the leader of Indonesia's fearsome speed roster.
Veddriq Leonardo capped a long rivalry at the top of the sport by winning Olympic gold at Paris 2024, the crowning achievement for a climber who had already held the world record at 4.90s. He remains the benchmark for Indonesia, a nation with more sub-five-second men than anyone.
In 2026 he has stayed among the fastest on tour, running around 4.83s in the Shanghai final in May. On his day he can beat Zhao Yicheng赵一程Zhào Yīchéng and Sam Watson head-to-head, which keeps every final he enters genuinely open.

- Former men's 15m world record holder, 4.90s
- Season-best 4.83s, OQS Shanghai 2026
