Cycling c'ship at Rawamangun

JAKARTA (JP): The annual cycling championship at the Rawamangun velodrome, East Jakarta, scheduled for Jan. 21 and Jan. 22, will see a number of foreign participants and eight cyclists from Yogyakarta this year.

Coach Sigit Purwoatmoko told Antara yesterday that his team would come early in order to adjust themselves to the Rawamangun velodrome track. "We do not have such a track in Yogyakarta," he said, adding that he was optimistic his team would come out as overall champ.

South Korea and Malaysia have reportedly confirmed their entry into the championship organized by the Jakarta chapter of the Indonesian Sports Journalists Association. (arf)
