RI windsurfers warm up in China

JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian Yachting and Windsurfing Association (Porlasi) sent three windsurfers to the China Open as part of their preparations for the Kuala Lumpur 2001 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.

"The windsurfers are Oka Sulaksana in the men's heavyweight division, Fadli Yusuf in the men's lightweight and Yuni Trisnawati in the women's mistral events," Porlasi secretary general Aji Sularso told reporters on Monday.

"We haven't set any target for our windsurfers because their participation will be able to evaluate their training progress. But we do hope they will be able to grab at least some bronze medals."

The China Open is part of the Asia Pacific circuit and slated to take place from June 28 until July 3 on the island of Peng Lay in the Chinese province of Guangdong. (nvn)
