Russia leads skydiving event

JAKARTA (JP): Diving at 9,500-feet, the Russian team of four
scored seven points in the relative work event of the Kopassus
Open international skydiving championships. This gives them the
lead at the end of the third day of the event, held in Serang,
West Java on Tuesday.

The National Police's Polsugar-A team closely trailed with six
points, followed by the Air Force's skydiving club PTP which
collected three points in the opening round of the five-stage
competition.

Executive chairman of the committee Lt. Col. M. Noer Muis said
the relative work event entirely depended on the weather, but he
hoped to see the competition complete by Sunday, the final day of
the one-week meet.

Meanwhile, Ema Kusumawati of the National Air Force's PTP-B
became the first women's chutist to land right on the "zero
point" in the individual accuracy event. (amd)
