Three of them are at<br>\nstake in the inaugural women's competition.<\/p>\n<p>The association has set its sight on winning at least five<br>\ngolds at the biennial event. Indonesia took three out of four<br>\ngolds up for grabs in the 1993 SEA Games in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>Basoeki said his 40 men's and women's SEA Games rowers are<br>\nbecoming accustomed to using the new type of sculls required by<br>\nthe Games organizing committee.<\/p>\n<p>\"I don't see any harm in these strange sculls to our athletes<br>\nso far,\" Basoeki said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that his big worry is about Myanmar team, which dashed<br>\nto double victories in the China Invitational Race in Guangzhou,<br>\nChina, last week. Myanmar eased past China and SEA Games national<br>\nteams from Singapore, the Philippines and Malaysia. Indonesia<br>\nskipped the event.<\/p>\n<p>Myanmar finished behind Indonesia in three races during the<br>\n1993 SEA Games, but Basoeki said the Myanmarese have been<br>\nprogressing rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesian teams are now undergoing their last proving ground<br>\nat the two-day Nusantara international boat races. Singapore and<br>\nBrunei are the only visiting teams. A four-month delay forced<br>\nother regular boat race participants to skip the event, the<br>\nsecond held by Indonesia since 1992.<\/p>\n<p>The national championship race highlighted yesterday's action,<br>\nwith Central Java triumphing in the men's 800-meter race. The<br>\nraces resume today with the international event finals in the<br>\n400m and 800m races. (amd)<\/p>",
