Career
A doubles specialist, at various times Limpele has focused on either men"s doubles or mixed doubles during his long career in international badminton. His earliest appearances in the final rounds of major events came in mixed doubles in mid-1990s. However, he first broke through internationally in men"s doubles at the 1999 of Korea Open with Engineer Hian.
His subsequent men"s doubles titles, most of them with Hian, have included the Denmark (2000), Singapore (2002, 2006), Japan (2002), Bitburger (2002), and German (2003) Opens, and the Copenhagen Masters (2000, 2004).
Flandy and Engineer were runners-up at the prestigious All-England Championships in 2002, and bronze medalists at the 2004 Athens Olympics. After 2004 Limpele gravitated back to mixed doubles.
Not an especially powerful hitter, Limpele"s strengths have been his racket-work, tactical astuteness, and anticipation. Participation at Indonesian Team
3 times at Sudirman Cup (1997, 2005, 2007).
