Wijaya was selected to compete for Indonesia at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, shooting in both individual and team recurve tournaments.[3] First, Wijaya amassed a total of 647 points out of a maximum 720 to obtain a forty-ninth seed heading to the knockout stage, along with his team's score of 1,962 collected from the classification round.[4] Sitting at tenth in the men's team recurve, Wijaya and his compatriots Riau Ega Agatha and Hendra Purnama put up a more tremendous effort by trouncing Chinese Taipei in the opening round, before they faced their quarterfinal match against the Americans, which led to the trio's early departure from the competition at 2–6.[5][6] In the men's individual recurve, Wijaya succumbed to the two-time medalist Mauro Nespoli of Italy in the opening round match with a score of 1–7.[7][8]
