Kusharjanto is a doubles specialist who achieved his greatest success in mixed doubles. Between 1994 and 2002 he won numerous international mixed doubles titles, the majority of them with
Minarti Timur. These included the
Thailand (1994, 1996),
Indonesia (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001),
Singapore (1995, 1998),
Malaysia (1996, 1998, 2000), and
Chinese Taipei (2002) Opens; the
Badminton World Cup (1995), the
World Badminton Grand Prix (1995), the
SEA Games (1995), and the
Badminton Asia Championships (1996). Though victories in badminton's three most prestigious events for individual players, the
Olympics, the
All England Championships, and the
World Championships, eluded Kusharjanto, he and Timur came close in all three with a runner-up finish at the
1997 All Englands, a bronze medal at the
1997 World Championships in
Glasgow, and a silver medal at the
2000 Olympics in
Sydney. Though only occasionally chosen by the Indonesian Badminton Association to play international events in men's doubles, Kusharjanto has won some, most notably the
Badminton Asia Championships with
Bambang Suprianto in 2001 and with
Sigit Budiarto in 2004. As a member of
Indonesia's 2002 Thomas Cup team he helped his country to capture its thirteenth world team title by winning his championship round doubles match with
Halim Haryanto. == Olympic record ==
