SEMARANG (JP): The Indonesian Wrestling Association (PGSI) is
still fighting to have the sport included in the 2001 Southeast
Asian (SEA) Games in Kuala Lumpur.

"Wrestling may not be included in the SEA Games, but PGSI and
the chairman of the National Sports Council (Wismoyo
Arismunandar) will approach the organizers about featuring the
sport," PGSI chairman Andi Ghalib said on Monday.

"I'm sure the reason host Malaysia is declining wrestling is
because it will give Indonesia an advantage in the medal tally.
If wrestling is featured at the SEA Games, I believe we will
enjoy a clean sweep." (har)
