The target is in line with Indonesian team's achievement at the Asian Games 2006 in Doha.

"At least we have to seize those medals (again)," said Manager of Asian Games 2010 Bowling Team Isra Tahir.

Moreover, as Indonesia has a new coach from the United States, William Hall, who has been contracted for a year, a hope emerges that the country could get other medals.

Indonesia's biggest opponents are South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore.

The 16th Asian Games is scheduled to be held from November 12 to 27 in southern China's Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong province.
