Pencak silat fighters collect five gold<\/p>\n
CEBU CITY: Pencak silat fighters contributed two more golds in
\nthe Southeast Asian Games on Sunday, but the team's five gold
\noverall was one below its target.<\/p>\n
Harris Nugroho triumphed in the men's 65-70 kg E division and
\nRonny Saifullah in the men's 75-80 kg G division, while Andy
\nZulkarnaen, Diyan Kristianto and Rosmiati were forced to settle
\nfor silver.<\/p>\n

\nwell as men's and women's team art division.<\/p>\n
Haris outclassed his Malaysian opponent Norhasmizan Bin
\nAbdullah 5-0, and was then followed by Rony with another
\nconvincing 5-0 win over Abdul Kadir Mohd. Ibrahin of Singapore.<\/p>\n
\"Despite some unfair judging, I think the best way to win the
\nmatch is through a strong performance and a convincing victory,
\nso the judges don't have a chance to cheat,\" Haris said.<\/p>\n
With five gold, four silver and two bronze, Indonesia was
\nsecond in the competition behind Vietnam, who collected seven
