JAKARTA (JP): Indonesia is eying a clean sweep in badminton
during the Southeast Asian Games in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in
December.

Chairman of the Badminton Association of Indonesia, Soerjadi,
said at the opening ceremony of the national badminton circuit in
Surakarta, Central Java, that Indonesian top shuttlers will
encounter no real challengers at the Games.

"Everybody wants our players to sweep all the seven gold
medals on offer (in badminton) at the SEA Games," Soerjadi said,
as quoted by Antara. Malaysia has denied Indonesia a clean sweep
at the past three Games, stealing the men's team crown twice in
1989 and 1991 and the men's doubles in 1993. (amd)
