Indonesian star climber Aries Susanti Rahayu has smashed the women’s speed climbing world record and become the first woman to climb 15 metres in less than seven seconds.
Her time of 6.995 seconds in the final of the IFSC Climbing World Cup in Xiamen, China, this weekend saw her beat home favourite and former world record holder Song Yiling to take gold.
The 24-year-old, nicknamed “Spider-Woman” by Indonesian internet users after her exploits at the IFSC World Cup in 2018, beat Song’s former mark of 7.101 set in Chongqing in April.
The bad news for her competitors is that the record came while the Indonesian was injured.


“My condition is not good,” she said afterwards. “You can look at my hand, my fingers,” she tells the camera.
“Blessed to get a record. Amazing for me,” she adds.

Not only did Aries SUSANTI RAHAYU (INA) win the gold in Xiamen, she broke the World Record and is the first women to clock in a time under 7 seconds!! #IFSCwc

Speed climbing is one of the three disciplines to debut at the Tokyo Olympics next summer.
It appeared at the Asian Games last year where Susanti won gold in speed and the speed relay.

Terima kasih ya Allah... Alhamdulillah pada seri terakhir IFSC WorldCup Xiamen saya bisa memecahkan rekor dunia baru 6,995 detik dari rekor sebelumnya 7,101 detik dipegang Yi Ling Song, lawan saya di final. . Ternyata kekuatan pikiran sangatlah luar biasa. Akhir agustus lalu saya mengalami cidera tangan kanan di bagian jari dan itu mempengaruhi performa saya sehingga tidak dapat mencapai limit waktu seperti pada saat latihan. Dan, ini sedikit mengganggu konsentrasi saya menjelang kompetisi, "Apakah mungkin saya bisa tampil maksimal?" . Namun, di tengah keraguan, selalu ada pelatih, keluarga dan tim yang selalu mensuport saya. Bahwa tidak ada yang tidak mungkin selagi kita mau berusaha. "Lupakan rasa sakit! Ubah menjadi kekuatan!" . Thanks a lot @thecircuitclimbing. Foto yang sangat keren.. . . @fpti_official @eigeradventure #ifsc #ifscwc #sportclimbing #speedclimbing #speed #competition #worldrecord #goldmedal #china #fpti #panjattebing #panjattebingindonesia #eiger #eigeradvanture #eigertropicaladvanture
