Hammer throwers set for Jakarta

SEMARANG (JP): Four local hammer throwers -- Daniel Giyanto, Agus Darmawan, Lina and Kusmiyati -- will attend the Indonesia Open national track and field championship in Jakarta from Nov. 26 to Nov. 29.

Daniel said he and his teammates would gauge their skills at the championships as part of their preparations for the 15th National Games (PON) in Surabaya next year.

"We will come to Jakarta with our own savings and we do not receive financial support from the Central Java chapter of the Indonesian Amateur Athletics Association or the Central Java administration," said Daniel. (har)
