Felix Ardi Yudha (born 7 July 1993) is an Indonesian boccia player. He represented Indonesia at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.
Early life Yudha's impairment is classified as mild to moderate locomotor dysfunction affecting the trunk and limbs, qualifying him for the BC2 category in para-sports, where athletes exhibit greater functional ability in the upper body compared to more severe classes but still face limitations in overall movement. Growing up in the rural area of Grobogan, he encountered significant hurdles in daily life, such as navigating uneven terrain and limited access to specialized medical or rehabilitation services typical of rural Indonesian settings. Initial interventions focused on coping strategies reflecting limited resources in his hometown, until his classification for para-sports in 2017 provided structured evaluation and support.
Career
Yudha career breakthrough came at the 2022 Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, China, where he secured Indonesia's first-ever gold medal in boccia by excelling in individual and team competitions, contributing to the nation's strong sixth-place overall finish with 29 gold, 30 silver, and 36 bronze medals. Building on this success, Yudha made his Paralympic debut at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France, as part of Indonesia's inaugural boccia team. Teaming up with teammates Muhammad Afrizal Syafa and Gischa Zayana, he won a silver medal in the mixed BC1/BC2 event after defeating Great Britain 7–7 (tiebreak) in the quarterfinals and Japan 9–0 in the semifinals, before narrowly losing 7–6 to China in the final; this marked Indonesia's first boccia medal at the Paralympics and highlighted the rapid rise of the sport in the country.
