JAKARTA (JP): Indonesia, out to retain its reputation as the
number one gymnastics nation in South East Asia, has hired two
other foreign coaches to be in charge of its gymnasts, now
training hard for the 14th SEA Games in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

The coaches are Golitch Alexander from Russia and Takako
Watanabe from Japan. Together with another Russian coach
Kouznetsov Iouri, who has been in the country since July last
year, they will be in charge of the gymnasts.

Indonesian Gymnastics Association secretary Tuti Mardiko said
the association is preparing early for the Games because it has
firmly set its sights on once again finishing at the top of the
medals tally in the gymnastics competitions at the biennial
sporting celebration. (bas)
