JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian Wushu Association (WI) will hire
two Chinese coaches in preparation for the 2001 Southeast Asian
(SEA) Games to be held in Kuala Lumpur in September.

WI chairman Mediteransyah said on Monday that coaches Cai Li
Yuan and Seng Xian were contacted by the association and have
agreed to coach 60 athletes based in Lampung, West Java, North
Sumatra, East Java and Jakarta.

Antara reported that both coaches are expected to arrive here
mid-January. They will groom wushu athletes in taulo (arts) and
sanshou (fighting).

WI will have to pay the US$1,000 monthly salary for each coach
because the National Sports Council (KONI) has not yet
distributed funds for training programs. (yan)
