RI wrestlers set for SEA C'ships

JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian Wrestling Association (PGSI)
plans to send seven athletes to compete in the second Southeast
Asian Championships in Kuala Lumpur from Nov. 18 to Nov. 21.

The event will also serve as a substitute for the Southeast
Asian (SEA) Games in Brunei Darussalam in August which did not
feature wrestling.

The PGSI official in charge of athletes development, Robby
Nainggolan, said on Wednesday that Indonesia would send a full
team to compete in seven freestyle classes of 50kgs, 54kgs,
58kgs, 63kgs, 69kgs, 76kgs and 85kgs.

Robby declined to name the team, saying they would be selected
from results in the national championships in Medan, North
Sumatra, next week.

The national event will also serve as a qualification round
for the 2000 National Games in Surabaya. (yan)
