PTMSI to send players to China

JAKARTA: The Indonesian Table Tennis Association (PTMSI) will
send eight players to China for a nine-month training camp, new
association chairman Taher said on Monday.

"They will be competing during the camp in China," Taher said
after being installed as the PTMSI chairman, replacing Triyanto
Saudin.

Making the trip to China will be the four highest ranking
men's and women's table tennis players in the national rankings,
as determined by the results of the national invitation in June.

The China camp, according to Taher, is expected to begin in
September, and is part of the association's overall preparations
for the 2003 Southeast Asian Games. --JP
