Kejayaan Sukma Bukti Malaysia Tidak Ketandusan Atlet Pelapis, Kata Ahmad Shabery

KUALA LUMPUR, 24 Jun (Bernama) -- Kejayaan atlet-atlet program Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) meraih 279 pingat emas daripada 434 emas ditawarkan semasa Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) di Melaka membuktikan Malaysia tidak ketandusan atlet muda, yang berpotensi untuk cemerlang di peringkat antarabangsa.

Menteri Belia dan Sukan Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek berkata daripada 279 pingat emas itu, 87 diraih atlet pelapis kebangsaan sementara 192 dimiliki atlet elit.

"Jumlah keseluruhan atlet Pelapis dan Elit di bawah program Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) yang beraksi di Sukma Melaka ialah 1,723 daripada 6,500 keseluruhan atlet yang mengambil bahagian.

"Sebanyak 14 rekod kebangsaan dan 87 rekod Sukma berjaya dipecahkan di Melaka dan kesemua rekod-rekod ini dicatatkan oleh atlet Program Pelapis dan Elit MSN," katanya kepada pemberita, di sini Khamis.

Terdahulu, Ahmad Shabery melancarkan majlis Detik 100 hari menjelang Sukan Komanwel di New Delhi, India yang akan berlangsung dari 3 hingga 14 Okt dan Sukan Asia di Guangzhou, China dari 13 hingga 21 Nov.

Beliau berkata kejayaan Sukma ke-13, yang berlangsung dari 10 Jun dan berakhir Sabtu lepas, meletakkan tanda aras baru daripada segi rekod kebangsaan dan rekod temasya yang berjaya dipecahkan.

Pada edisi 2002 di Sabah, hanya tujuh rekod kebangsaan dan 62 rekod Sukma dipecahkan dan di Negeri Sembilan pada 2004, sebanyak sembilan rekod kebangsaan dan 49 rekod temasya dipecahkan.

Edisi 2006 di Kedah menyaksikan hanya dua rekod kebangsaan dan 38 rekod Sukma dipecahkan dan di Terengganu, dua tahun lalu, tujuh rekod kebangsaan dan 54 rekod temasya dipecahkan.

"Berdasarkan statistik, program yang dijalankan oleh MSN tampak berada di landasan betul dan Malaysia dijangka tidak bermasalah untuk mencari pelapis yang boleh diketengahkan ke peringkat antarabangsa," katanya.

Daripada segi pungutan pingat antara negeri-negeri, katanya kutipan pingat Sukma Melaka dilihat lebih seimbang dan tidak didominasi negeri tertentu manakala prestasi atlet di negeri-negeri semakin meningkat dan saingan ini baik bagi masa depan sukan negara.

Ahmad Shabery memberi contoh Terengganu, yang mempertahankan kejuaraan di Melaka, hanya memungut 47 emas sahaja berbanding 61 emas semasa menjadi tuan rumah temasya itu dua tahun lepas.

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 21 (Bernama) -- Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said he would be looking at all the problems and suggestions raised by the national highway cycling racers before taking any follow-up actions.

Malaysia To Send Two Junior Cyclists To World Junior Championship In Italy

KUALA LUMPUR, June 29 (Bernama) -- Two national junior cyclists have been picked to represent the country at the World Junior Track Cycling Championships in Montichiari, Italy in August. National back up squad manager Azrain Mohamed Yusof said Mohd Arfy Qhairant Amran and Mohd Fattah Amri Zaid were picked for the championships based on their performances throughout this year. "The championships is part of efforts to expose young riders at international competitions, so that they can be better prepared for the future," he told Bernama when contacted here Tuesday. Azrain said since they would be basically competing in the championship for exposure, there would be no specific target for Mohd Arfy and Mohd Fattah Amri, but if they return with medals, it would be a bonus. "It is however, not their first overseas competition and I believe they will not encounter any problems to adapt themselves to the conditions in Italy," he said. Mohd Arfy and Mohd Fattah w
