Loudest cheer

Loudest cheer

BUSAN, South Korea: Sitting side by side on Haeundae beach,
supporters of Indonesia and Kazakhstan were engaged in a war of
chants, with each vying to outdo the other in providing support
for their men's beach volley teams on Tuesday.

Every time the Kazakhs chanted "Kazakhstan", there were
instant replies of "Indonesia" during the match between the
Indonesia 2 team of Andy Ardiansyah and Supriadi and the
Kazakhstan 1 team of Pavel Zabuslayev and Dmitriy Vorobyev.

The Indonesian team also received support from a group of
Koreans playing traditional percussion instruments.

There were also Busan residents deployed by the Indonesian
honorary consul in Busan, Kim Soo-il, ranging from school
children to adults waving red-and-white flags.

But the cheers really reached a crescendo when Indonesia 2
beat Kazakhstan 1 2-0.--JP
