Dedeh Erawati
Dedeh Erawati (born May 25, 1979 in Sumedang) is an Indonesian sprint hurdler. She is a four-time medalist and two-time defending champion at the Southeast Asian Games. She won the bronze medal at the 2009 Asian Athletics Championships in Guangzhou, China, with a time of 13.32 seconds, finishing behind *an's Asuka Terada and China's Sun Yawei, who claimed the gold in the hurdles. She also set both her personal best and national record of 13.18 seconds at the 2012 Taiwan Open in Taipei, Taiwan.
Erawati represented Indonesia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's 100 m hurdles. She ran in the fifth and final heat against seven other athletes, including Jamaica's Brigitte Foster-Hylton, and Dawn Harper of the United States, who later dominated this event by winning an Olympic gold medal. She finished the heat in seventh place by twenty-four hundredths of a second (0.24) behind Haiti's Nadine Faustin, with a slowest possible time of 13.49 seconds. Erawati, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as she placed thirty-fourth overall, and ranked below two mandatory slots for the next round.
