Jakarta - The chairman of the Indonesian contingent to the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, said he was satisfied with the four gold medals the Indonesian athletes had won so far in the events.
"We are satisfied enough with the four gold medals which we have snatched until today. This is a special achievement for us," contingent chairman Suhartono Suratman said at the office of the Indonesian Consulate General in Guangzhou, on Tuesday.
He admitted however that Indonesian athletes failed to present the best for the country in several sports branches on which Indonesia actually rest its hopes.
Suhartono said that with that failure it would pose a potential threat in the next Sea Games in Indonesia next year.
The sports branches are wushu and beach volleyball. Indonesian athletes failed to present their best achievements in these branches, he said.
"We should not be careless. we should have strong spirit in developing ourselves in branches where we failed," he said.
Up to Tuesday, Indonesia has collected four gold, eight silver and 10 bronze medals in the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.(*)
