Jakarta (ANTARA News) - A total of 22 lifters will fight for medals on the day four of the 2018 Asian Games weightlifting in the 77-kilogram class of men at the JI Expo, Kemayoran, Jakarta, on Thursday.

The committee divides the lifters into two groups, namely group A which is scheduled to play at 2 pm West Indonesia Standard Time (WIB) and group B at 11 am WIB.

Indonesian lifter I Ketut Ariana and Rahmat Erwin Abdullah were included in group B which will compete with eight lifter from various other Asian Games participating countries. However, a number of parties predicted a small medal for the lifter in Group B.

"It is possible, but the opportunity is very small to see the previous two days which were also divided by the group. The winners in group B when compared to the results of group A could not enter the top five," said Haryanto, an audience who faithfully watched the weightlifting match.

Here are the lifters who belong to group B: Shengmin Chuang (Chinese Taipei), Bikash Thapa (Nepal), Rahmat Erwin Abdullah (Indonesia), Hani Alqassass (Palestine), I ketut Ariana (Indonesia), Ikhomjon Shukurov (Tajikistan), Asad Sultan Obaid ( Oman), Haider Ali (Pakistan), Zubair Nazari (Afghanistan), and Jose F Martins Garcia Valente (Timor Leste).
