JAKARTA (JP): Seven Indonesian canoers will take part in the
World Canoe Polo Championships in Adelaide, Australia from Oct. 9
to Oct. 13.

M. Ashidiq, Indonesian coach and team manager, said yesterday
his athletes were aiming for third place in their debut.

Ashidiq said that although the team had only a month of
preparation, it was ready for the championships. Defending Asian
champion Indonesia will face strong opposition from Japan, China
Taipei and Hong Kong.

to be the most promising teams for a shot at winning the
championships. (yan)
