Mon, 08 Jan 1996

JAKARTA (JP): Around 488 athletes from Indonesia's 26 provinces will take part in the National Weightlifting and Bodybuilding Championship, scheduled to start here today and run until Jan. 16 at Hall B Senayan.

Madek Kasman, deputy training director of the Indonesian Weightlifting and Bodybuilding Association, told reporters last week that the championships served as the last qualifying round for the 14th National Games, slated for September this year.

Defending champion West Java, which has won the championship three times in a row since 1992, is expected to retain its title. (arf)
