Sunaryo sets hat trick as Lampung lifters reign<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Sunaryo of Jambi broke three records at the end
\nof the national weight lifting championships here yesterday, but
\nLampung remained the country's strongest powerhouse of the
\nmuscular sport.<\/p>\n
Competing in the 108-kilogram division, Sunaryo set new
\nrecords in the snatch, clean and jerk and total weight
\ncategories. There were four records shattered at the conclusion
\nof the four-day meet, taking the tally of new national marks to
\nseven.<\/p>\n
Sunaryo snatched 137.5kg to smash the old record of 130.5 set
\nby Junaidi of West Java during a national selection for the 18th
\nSoutheast Asian Games in Chiang Mai, Thailand, last December.<\/p>\n
In the clean and jerk event, Sunaryo lifted 177.5kg to beat
\nAdi Chondro's two-year-old mark set in the 1993 National Games by
\n2.5 kilograms.<\/p>\n
Sunaryo's two record-breaking lifts led him to a new total
\nrecord of 315kg, which is 10kg better than Adi's gold medal
\nwinning mark in the 1993 National Games.<\/p>\n
Mahfud of East Java lengthened the list of record breakers
\nwith his brilliant performance in the men's over-108kg category.<\/p>\n
Lifting 170 kilograms, Mahfud rewrote the old national clean
\nand jerk record of 167.5kg established by I Nyoman Ari of Bali in
\nthe 1993 National Games here. Mahfud's total lifting, 302.5kg,
\nwas 2.5kg lighter than his own national record he totaled in the
\nGames.<\/p>\n
The weight lifting contest is part of the national weight
\nlifting, power lifting and bodybuilding championships which serve
\nas a qualifying round for the 14th National Games, scheduled here
\nin September.<\/p>\n
Sunaryo's victory took his team's medal collection to six
\ngolds and a bronze to stay a distant third behind runaway leader
\nLampung which romped home with 18 golds, eight silvers and six
\nbronzes. West Java came second with 14 golds, seven silvers and
\n10 bronzes.<\/p>\n

\nhis delight that the record breakers were mostly junior lifters.<\/p>\n

\nand regeneration system,\" said Soedarman, who is also
