Shooting quartet aiming at tryout

JAKARTA (JP): National shooting quartet of Sylvia Lumi
Silimang, Supadmi, Rini Dwi K and Tintin will take an early Asian
Games tests when they compete in the event's warm-up competition
this week in Bangkok.

The training director of the Indonesian team for the Asiad,
Muhammad Hindarto, said yesterday the Indonesian Target Shooting
and Hunting Association had taken the initiative to send the
women's quartet.

"We encourage sports organizations to provide funds for all
tryouts themselves because we cannot afford to," Hindarto said.

The Indonesian markswomen are expecting a tough challenge
because the continent's best shooters will turn up for the Asian
Games trial.

The Games organizers have planned warm-up competitions for
other sports in a bid to test their preparedness for the
quadrennial event in December. This year's Asiad in Bangkok in
December will feature 36 sports plus two exhibition events. (yan)
