Four taekwondoins set for Taipei

SEMARANG (JP): The Central Java chapter of the Indonesian Taekwondo Association has approved four of five athletes to compete in the Taekwondo Students World Championships in Chinese Taipei, from March 29 to April 2.

The four are Yoga Perdana (men's flyweight division), Dery Dermansyah (men's featherweight), Wiwies Widiowati (women's finweight) and Yudika Sitanggang (women's bantamweight).
