As a preperation for the 1951 Asian Games she went with the national team on a training camp in Djokja in January 1951.[2] However, Surjowati left the camp already after the first day stating "I have to look after my children anyway".[3]
Altough she left the camp, she was selected for the Games to compete in the javelin throw, discus throw and 4x 100 metres relay.[4] In the throwing numbers, it was stated she might win because she threw further than the other Asian women prior to the Games.[1] At the 1951 Asian Games she didn’t win a medal in the throwing events but won with the relay team the bronze medal in the 4x 100 metres event behind Japan and India.[5]
At the 1951 National Sports Week she finished third in the high jump event.[6] She won again the bronze medal in 1953.[7]
