Laos hopes two gold medals from Foot Shuttlecock in SEA GAMES 2009
(KPL) The Lao National Foot Shuttlecock Federation has hoped to win two gold medals in the 25th SEA Games next year although the federation is established this year.
Lao shuttlecock athletes did quite well in the international competitions wining one bronze medal in the World Foot Shuttlecock Championship in Germany in 2002 and two silver and bronze medals in the 22nd SEA Games in Vietnam in 2003.
“We hope to win two gold medals in the SEA Games as we have seen that our athletes have constantly developed their competition skills,” said the president of the Lao National Foot Shuttlecock Federation Dr. Bosengkham Vongdara.
“After establishing, the executive committee of the federation will publicise foot shuttlecock and organise the competitions of this sport in provinces to seek athletes for national team.”
