Lampung wight lifters maintain winning run<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Lampung lived up to its billing as the producer
\nof the country's weight lifting cream in the 14th National Games
\nyesterday, and Jambi benefited from it.<\/p>\n
Shortly after achieving a one-two finish in the men's 59-
\nkilogram division yesterday, Lampung watched its protege Supeni
\nwin gold for her new province Jambi in the women's 54kg category.<\/p>\n
Supeni upset her former Lampung teammate Bastiah with a series
\nof record-breaking lifts, which included a national record. A
\ntotal of two national and five meet records tumbled on the second
\nday of the weight lifting contest yesterday.<\/p>\n
Supeni, winner of the 59kg class gold for Lampung in the last
\nGames three years ago, heaved 85.5kgs to tear Patmawati's
\nnational snatch mark of 85kgs apart.<\/p>\n
The Jambi musclewoman hoisted 100kgs in the clean and jerk for
\na total lift of 185kgs. Her three attempts were listed as new
\nmeet records because the division was making its debut in the
\nGames.<\/p>\n
Bastiah totaled 170kgs after snatching 75kgs and clean and
\njerking 95kgs. The bronze went to Tati Pratiwi of Central Java
\nwho combined 152.5kgs.<\/p>\n
Lampung lifters tallied one more gold and silver from Taufik
\nand Misdan Yunip respectively, but only after a hard-fought
\ncontest. Both totaled 260kgs, but Taufik was awarded the gold on
\naccount of his lighter body weight. The 22-year-old lifter is
\n0.6kg lighter than his teammate.<\/p>\n
Misdan improved the national 110kgs snatch record by 10.5kgs
\non his way to the silver. Taufik made up for his lowly 110kgs in
\nthe snatch with 150kgs in clean and jerk to dash Misdan's hopes
\nof winning the gold.<\/p>\n
Misdan combined an original total lift of 260.5kgs after clean
\nand jerking 140kgs, but a world weight lifting body ruling
\ndisqualified his 0.5kg extra lift in the snatch. A lifter needs
\nat least an extra 2.5kgs to set a new snatch record.<\/p>\n
On the golf course at Kedaton, Tangerang, North Sumatra
\nextended its lead by two strokes over its nearest rival West
\nJava. The Northern Sumatrans, with the country's leading golfer
\nSukamdi leading the team, carded a total score of 438 (212 226).
\nWest Java is in second on 440 (214 226).<\/p>\n
Four shots further back on 444 (220 224) is the host team,
\nwhich, like the other 11 men's teams in the fray, was not able to
\nbreak par in the wet conditions which made the par-72 layout very
\ntesting. Overnight heavy drizzle was to blame for the poor
\nperformance of almost all the participants.<\/p>\n
Despite carding a 2-over par-74, Sukamdi, who has played the
\npivotal role for Indonesia in many international outings,
\nincluding the Asian Games, retained his lead in the individual
\nevent. His two-day total of 143 (69 74) leaves him sharing the
\nlead with East Kalimantan's Bakri (70 73).<\/p>\n
Three golfers<\/p>\n
Three golfers are tied in second spot on 146. Sukamdi's elder
\nbrother Suparno, who represented Indonesia in the 1983 World Cup
\nwhen Pondok Indah hosted the prestigious golf championship,
\ncarded a poor 76 yesterday after a 70 the day before. East Java's
\nSuprapto shot a 75 after making a 71 in the first round on
\nTuesday, while West Java's Ahmad Indra (75) also failed to
\nmaintain his good form of the first round when he too carded a
\n71.<\/p>\n
In the women's event which will be contested over 56 holes,
\nJakarta, as expected, took the early lead with a total score of
\n154. Five strokes behind in second place is North Sumatra and
\nthird is West Java on 162.<\/p>\n
Ani Iman from Jakarta took the lead in the individual
\ncompetition with a 76 (40 36), followed by Daud Yudarana, from
\nEast Java, with a 77 (40 37) for second place. National player
\nRetno Mustari from Jakarta, had to be content with third place
\nafter a 78 (39 39). (amd\/rsl)<\/p>",
