JAKARTA (JP): Indonesian weightlifters won four golds, two
silvers and two bronzes and broke five Asian Junior records in
two Asian junior championships in Chonju, South Korea, from Nov.
18 to Nov. 23.
Boy's weightlifter Jadi Setiadi contributed three golds in the
boy's 56kg weight division of the second Asian Youth (boy's and
girl's) weightlifting championships in the snatch, clean and jerk
and total lifting. He also sharpened three records originally set
up by Yang Jian-gun of Chinese Taipei.
The 15-year-old boy lifted 105.0kgs in snatch and succeeded in
his attempt to lift 137.5kgs in clean and jerk. He lifted a total
of 242.5kgs to put him in the first place.
Jadi, who weighed 52.70kgs, broke the old record of 92.5kgs in
snatch and 120.0kgs in clean and jerk. The old total lift record
was 212.5kgs.
Girl's weightlifter Sri Hartati won a gold in the 48kgs
division after lifting 85.0kgs in clean and jerk and earned two
silvers by lifting 60.0kgs in snatch. She produced a total lift
of 145.0kgs.
Sri broke two Asian junior records made by Li Jun-fei of
China, who lifted 75kgs in clean and jerk and 135.0kgs in total
lift.
Joko Hanggono grabbed two bronzes in the over 105.0kg division
of the 13th Asian Junior Men's Championships after lifting
135.0kgs in snatch. He created a total lift of 315.0kgs.
The 2000 National Games gold medalist, however, was
disqualified when he lifted 180.0kgs in clean and jerk, which
only earned him the fourth place.
"Joko was almost successful in lifting 180.0kgs in clean and
jerk but his left arm was shaky when he tried to lift up the
barbels and the referee disqualified him," team manager Hadi
Wihardja said on Friday.
Hadi said Indonesia missed the fifth Asian Junior Women's
championships, which was held at the same time with two
previously mentioned events.
"We planned to send Lisa Rumbewas to the junior event, but she
said she would like to take a break after competing in the Sydney
Olympics," he said.
Lisa earned a silver medal in the 48kg division in the
Olympics. (ivy)
