Bari takes gold at SEASA c'ships

JAKARTA (JP): Indonesian women's sharpshooter Bari Agustini
Said won gold in the air pistol individual event at the 25th
Southeast Asian Shooting Association (SEASA) championships in
Bangkok on Thursday.

Bari scored 473.6 points to topple Chinese Taipei Thien Yu
San, who topped Bari in the qualifying round. Thien finished
third with 470.5 points while Nguyen Tufan of Vietnam was second
after collecting 469.9 points

The shooting training director, Benny J. Mamoto, said he was
satisfied with the result, although he did not set any medal
target in the championships.

"The championships will serve as a testing arena for shooters
currently preparing for the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, to
enrich their experiences. We also want to spy our opponent's
strength," he told Antara.

Indonesia earned two more bronzes from Erlinawati Chalid in
the women's rifle prone event and Iriantoni in the men's rapid
fire pistol event.

As of Thursday, host Thailand still dominated with eight golds
followed by Vietnam with three golds and Malaysia with two golds.

Indonesia sent 10 shooters to compete in five events in the
championships, which ended on Friday. (ivy)
