JAKARTA (JP): The 1988 Olympic silver medalist Nurfitriyana
\nSaiman led the Jakarta women's team to the President Cup at the
\nnational archery championships in Metro, Lampung yesterday.<\/p>\n

\nevent (NOR) final staged at Samber Metro field to take the
\ncoveted trophy.<\/p>\n

\nSumardi, Muamar Nawi and Yulianto.<\/p>\n
It was East Java's fourth straight success in the annual

\nthree bronzes. They came in ahead of Jakarta, which racked up
\nthree golds, a silver and a bronze. West Java trailed in the
