JAKARTA (JP): Triumphant Indonesian sky divers rule the sky in
the Kopassus Open and International 1994 in Serang, West Java
which ended last weekend.

Host chutists from Kopassus A, the Army's elite unit famous
for their red-blood beret, dominate both the men's team and
single accuracy contests.

As a team, the proud soldiers came first with a brilliant
score of 0.56.

Sumeri, who was stuck in the third standing during the first
six of the eight-round event, finally surfaced to the first place
in the men's single event after cumulatively scoring five "dead
center" which gave him a well-deserved score of 0.05.

The red beret sky diver pushed aside compatriot Theo Mandagi
from Polsugar A (a mixed team of the National Police and Garuda
Skydiving Club) - who previously occupied the first place - to
the second with a point of 0.08. (hdj)
