24/07/1998

ONLY six associations have yet to submit their list of athletes for the
Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games to the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM).
Hockey (men and women), cycling, cricket and lawn bowls have until July
28 to do so.
"OCM have received entries from 10 associations so far," said OCM
secretary Sieh Kok Chi yesterday.
"We will have a meeting on Tuesday to further trim the list submitted by
the associations. Only those who meet the qualifying mark will see action
during the Games."
OCM's closing date may be July 28 but entries will still be entertained
by Games organisors Sukom Ninety Eight up till Aug 8 when the
international entries close.
Bowling, who can only enter two men and two women, have submitted a list
of four and four and they are Kenny Ang, Ben Heng, Daniel Lim, Ng Yiew
Hup, Shalin Zulkifli, Lai Kin Ngoh, Sharon Low and Low Poh Lian.
"Team sports like rugby and netball have yet to name the final squad for
the games but have submitted their entries. It is a normal procedure for
the associations know more or less who will make the team."
Shooting, with an outside chance of winning gold in the Games, has
included the name of the Russian coach turned shooter for Malaysia.
The coach Irina Maharani, who is now a Malaysian citizen, was the gold
medallist in the 1994 World Championship in air pistol. For the Games, she
is down to part in the sport pistol event for the Games.
Athletics have already submitted the names of 25 athletes and they are
expected to send in another five.
Athletics officials will number 17.
"We will also look into the number of officials to accompany athletes,"
said Sieh..
Right now it looks like some associations have submitted a large number
of officials, this will have to be trimmed."
