JAKARTA (JP): Indonesia's Ethel Hudson, the current Southeast
Asian Games silver medalist, will take part in the Asian Marathon
Championship in South Korea on Oct. 26.

Ethel said that he will try to improve his personal best of
two hours 21 minutes, which he ran in the SEA Games. Breaking the
national record of 2:19.18, produced by countryman Eduardus
Nobunome in the 1994 Asian Championship in Bandung, is another
challenge for him.

The country's Olympian said that his preparations for the
championship are going much better than they did for the
Olympics. He considers Korean, Japanese and Chinese runners as
his toughest rivals. (yan)
