- 73 total medals for Indonesia (15 gold, 21 silver, 37 bronze)
- 8th place in the final standings

- 24 October 2026 was the final tally date (13.48 WIB)
Thailand won 66 bronze medals at these Games. Indonesia won 73 medals in total. That one comparison shows how the final table works, and why “8th place” tells only part of the story.
The Asian Para Games ranking is not about total medals. It is about golds first.
What Were Indonesia’s Results at the 2026 Asian Para Games?
Indonesia closed the 5th Asian Para Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, on Saturday, 24 October 2026, with 15 gold, 21 silver and 37 bronze medals. That is 73 medals in total, enough for 8th place in the final standings. The numbers come from the official tally shared by Kementerian Pemuda dan Olahraga (Kemenpora) and sourced to asianparagames2026.
On the official graphic, Indonesia’s row is the only one in red, and it sits in a purple table. It is easy to spot, and it is the story Indonesian readers wanted to find.

How Does the Medal Table Work?
Countries are ranked by gold medals first. Silver and bronze only break ties. Total medals do not decide the order.
This is why Thailand sits 7th with 19 golds, ahead of Indonesia with 15, even though Indonesia’s silver and bronze count is also strong. It also explains why Islamic Republic of Iran, with 102 medals in total, ranks 6th, while Republic of Korea, with 100 medals, ranks 5th. Korea won 29 golds. Iran won 26.
In simple terms, a gold medal is worth more than any number of bronzes.
Who Led the Asian Para Games 2026 Medal Table?
China finished far ahead with 207 golds, 117 silvers and 111 bronzes, for 435 medals. Its gold count alone is larger than the golds of Japan, Uzbekistan and India added together (64 + 45 + 30 = 139).
Japan, the host nation, took second place with 186 medals. Uzbekistan was third with 145, and India was fourth with 114. Thailand won 125 medals, which is more than Korea and Iran, but it still ranks 7th because of the gold-first rule.
How Did Indonesia Compare With Its Neighbors?
Indonesia finished behind Thailand, which had 125 medals, but ahead of Kazakhstan (50 medals) and Saudi Arabia (17 medals). Indonesia won more total medals than both of those countries combined, which is a useful number to remember when judging the result.
The gap to Thailand is clear in the bronze column: 66 for Thailand and 37 for Indonesia. The gap in golds is smaller, only four. That suggests the next step for Indonesia is turning more silvers into golds. Indonesia won 21 silvers in Aichi-Nagoya.
“Every effort and every achievement of yours is a source of pride for Indonesia.”
Kemenpora, in its post after the closing tally (translated from Indonesian)
What Did Kemenpora Say?
In its Instagram post on the final day, Kemenpora thanked every athlete, coach and support team member for competing under the Merah Putih flag. The message focused on effort and pride rather than rank, and it ended with a simple thank you for fighting for Indonesia.
