Susi delivers commentary on TV

JAKARTA: Olympic gold medalist Susi Susanti has become a commentator on TransTV for the ongoing Thomas and Uber Cups in Jakarta.

she and husband Alan Budikusuma attended an editors briefing, held by Samsung Electronics Indonesia at the Mulia Hotel here on Tuesday. They had to leave the meeting an hour early because Susi had to go on TV to comment on the Indonesia-Germany play-off match.

"Sorry, we've got to go because Susi will be commenting on the match," Alan said.

Susi and Alan, who earned Indonesia its first two gold medals in the Olympics in 1992, will be among the torchbearers in the torch relay in the run-up to the Athens Olympics in August. --JP
