They offer a total of five<br>\nOlympic berths, two for the winner and one each for those who<br>\nfinish second to fourth.<\/p>\n<p>The 10 lifters are Hari Setiawan and Wahyudi (for the 54kg<br>\ncategory), Taufik and Zulkarnaen (59kg), Erwin Abdullah and<br>\nSodikin (64kg), Sutrisno (70kg), Lukman (76kg), Sunaryo (90kg)<br>\nand Mahfud (108kg and above).<\/p>\n<p>They are the best lifters Indonesia currently has. Hari,<br>\nTaufik, Sodikin, Sutrisno and Lukman won gold medals at the 18th<br>\nSoutheast Asian Games in Chiang Mai, Thailand, last year.<\/p>\n<p>Erwin Abdullah is the current national record holder in the<br>\nmen's 64kg. His record total lift is 290kg, which he set last<br>\nyear during a national selection meet in Gajah Sena, Bogor. Erwin<br>\nhad been national record holder in the 59kg category, until<br>\nTaufik bettered not only his, but also a two-and-a-half-year-old<br>\nSEA Games record, at a national meet in Jakarta in January.<\/p>\n<p>Sunaryo and Mahfud are also national record holders. But<br>\nSunaryo, prepared for the 90kg category in Yachio meet, set the<br>\nrecord in the 108kg category at the January national meet.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the choice fell to this particular 10 lifters<br>\nand the way the 10 were placed into such categories show efforts<br>\nto ensure \"the right man in the right place\".<\/p>\n<p>Harry said that winning Olympic berths at the Yachio meet<br>\nmight be easier because Asian weightlifting powerhouses which<br>\nhave already got their Olympic berths, such as China, are not<br>\nentitled to additional berths.<\/p>\n<p>Nine Asian countries secured Olympic slots during the world<br>\nweight lifting championships held in Guangzhou last year. They<br>\nare China, Japan, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Kazakhstan,<br>\nKirgizstan, Uzbekistan, India and Iraq. (arf)<\/p>",
