20 – 21.06.2026 | Jakarta, Indonesia. The first official FinalRep Streetlifting competition in Indonesia didn’t start at 8:00 AM. It started the night before, at 10:00 PM, when the AKSI and Streetlifting Indonesia team began moving equipment into Baywalk Mall after the last shoppers had left. They worked through the night, finishing setup around 5:00 AM, and three hours later the first athletes stepped onto the platform. That detail alone says everything about what kind of people built this event, and what this sport means to them. What followed, across two full days in the heart of DKI Jakarta, was a competition that exceeded every expectation the organizers had set for themselves.
Event Overview
Organized by AKSI and Streetlifting Indonesia, with support from sponsor Inverted Monkey, the Indonesia Streetlifting Open ran across two days at Baywalk Mall. Saturday opened at 8:00 AM and ran until 7:00 PM; Sunday followed from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Eighteen athletes competed across multiple weight categories, with the event drawing around 40 dedicated spectators in addition to the natural foot traffic of the mall setting.
The competition was fullly livestreamed, giving the wider Asian Streetlifting community access to what was unfolding in Jakarta. This was the first time the FinalRep app was used for the complete competition workflow in Indonesia, and while the learning curve was present early, the team had noticeably found their rhythm by day two.
Since this was the first official FinalRep event held in Indonesia, every valid result on the platform established a new national FinalRep benchmark automatically, making every athlete part of a historical foundation for the sport in the country.
Highlights and Athletes Performance
Dmitrii Vaslov in the -80kg category was the athlete the crowd could not take their eyes off. A 40kg muscle-up followed by a 120kg pull-up, nearly fifteen kg above the current world record, delivered with the kind of composure that makes extraordinary lifts look routine. Every time he approached the bar, phones came out across the venue. It is not every day that pulling strength of that level shows up in the same room, and the audience knew it.
In the -66kg category, Indonesian athlete Viki Candra Kirana delivered one of the most significant results of the entire competition: a 410kg total that consolidated his position as the current Asia’s top 3 in his weight class, and put him in a very strong position to secure qualification for the FinalRep ASIAS Finals in Singapore later this year.
The -73kg category produced one of the most complete flights of the weekend. Joshua Tay from Singapore claimed first place with a dominant 456.25kg total, reinforcing his standing at the top of the Asia-Pacific rankings in his class. Behind him, Indonesian rising talent Vincentius Bayu posted an impressive 402.5kg total, marking himself as one of the names to watch in the regional scene.
The category also featured an unexpected moment: Teuku Aufra Maretto, Chairman of AKSI and one of the event’s lead organizers, stepped onto the platform himself and competed. He finished his day with a bold attempt at a 200kg squat that didn’t get the white lights, but earned something arguably more valuable: a standing ovation from everyone in the room.
International women raise the bar
Two Lebanese athletes, Kristy Farhat and Takla Abou Jaoude, made an immediate impression in the women’s categories. Their weighted dips, performed with more than 50kg attached, left much of the Indonesian audience visibly stunned. For most spectators and even many of the competing athletes, it was the first time they had seen female athletes perform at that level in a live competition setting. Their presence made the ceiling of women’s Streetlifting tangible in a way that no video can replicate.
A historic first for Indonesian women
The other landmark moment of the weekend came from within the local scene itself. Three Indonesian female athletes, Putri TK (-52kg), Desy Indarta (-57kg), and Melita Mutia (-63kg), competed in the All-4 division for the first time, which includes the ring muscle-up alongside pull-ups, dips, and squats. Until this event, virtually all Indonesian female competitors had entered the Classic division, as the ring muscle-up remains one of the most technically demanding movements in the sport. Seeing three Indonesians step up to the All-4 platform is a milestone that the community will look back on as a turning point.
Organizational Insights
Building a competition inside a shopping mall comes with constraints that no standard gym venue presents. The team could only access the space after closing time, which meant loading and assembly began at 10:00 PM the night before the competition and continued until approximately 5:00 AM. The event started three hours later. Teardown followed the same overnight model after the final day. It was physically demanding by any standard, and the crew’s commitment throughout that entire process deserves specific recognition.
On the competition floor itself, the main areas identified for future improvement were livestream production quality and the coordination between the many moving parts of a two-day event: judges, loaders, livestream operators, venue management, and staff. By day two, the FinalRep app was being managed with noticeably more confidence, and the overall athlete experience remained the consistent priority throughout.
Community Response & Future Outlook
The atmosphere inside the venue exceeded the organizers‘ own expectations. The crowd was engaged throughout both days, and the cross-national support between athletes from different countries created exactly the kind of community feel that defines Streetlifting at its best. The event generated genuine buzz within the Indonesian fitness community, with the mall setting bringing the sport in front of people who might never have sought it out on their own.
Another edition is already planned for next year, building on everything learned and established at this first official event. The organizers closed their form with a message that reflects exactly why this work matters:
„Having a clear ruleset, judging standards, ranking system, and international pathway gives athletes and organizers something meaningful to work towards. It helps the sport grow in a structured and professional way.“
Conclusion
The Indonesia Streetlifting Open 2026 was built overnight, literally, by a team that refused to let logistics get in the way of something important. The result was a competition that introduced FinalRep standards to a new nation, opened a door for female athletes, and placed Indonesian lifters on the map in a way that will carry weight through the rest of the season.
Jakarta showed up. And next year, it will come back stronger.
We’re proud to be part of this journey. Until next time — Let’s keep pushing the limits together!
