Edgar Xavier Marvelo (born December 16, 1998) is a wushu taolu athlete from Indonesia. He is a three-time world champion as well as a medalist at the Asian Games and the Southeast Asian Games.

Career[]

Junior[]

Marvelo began practicing wushu at the age of six.[1] During his youth, he won gold medals in the changquan events at the 2008 and 2014 World Junior Wushu Championships. He won a gold medal at the 2014 ASEAN School Games[2] and a year later in 2015, Marvelo was the Indonesian youth national champion.[1]

Senior[]

Marvelo's first major international appearance was at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games where he won a bronze medal in the men’s changquan event.[3] He then debuted at the 2017 World Wushu Championships where he won a silver medal in men’s daoshu.[4] A year later, Marvelo won Indonesia’s first medal at the 2018 Asian Games by placing second in the men's changquan event.[5][6]

In 2019, he competed again at the World Wushu Championships and earned three gold medals in men’s changquan, gunshu, and in the duilian event with Harris Horatius and Seraf Naro Siregar.[7][8] His achievement of three gold medals made him the most prolific non-Chinese athlete during a single rendition of the championships. A few weeks after the competition, Marvelo won two more gold medals at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in the men’s daoshu and gunshu combined event and duilian.[3] He dedicated his victory at the games to his late father who passed away during the morning of his event.[9][10]

Edgar has appeared on the Hitam Putih and Brownis[11] Indonesian television programs.
