Misi balas dendam tak tercapai


CHONG WEI sekali lagi terpaksa akur dengan kehebatan Lin Dan.


HAJAT jaguh negara, Lee Chong Wei untuk membalas dendam terhadap seteru utamanya, Lin Dan dari China tidak kesampaian.

Selepas tiga bulan menunggu, akhirnya Chong Wei kembali 'disatukan' dengan Lin Dan.

Bagaimanapun Chong Wei sekali lagi terpaksa akur dengan kehebatan Lin Dan apabila tewas 18-21, 9-21 pada perlawanan akhir Kejohanan Badminton Terbuka China di Gimnasium Yuen Shen, Shanghai semalam.

Terdahulu, Chong Wei turun dengan misi membalas dendam selepas dia tewas kepada jaguh China itu pada perlawanan akhir Sukan Olimpik di Beijing Ogos lalu.

Pada aksi semalam, Chong Wei yang dilihat mampu memberi tekanan kepada Lin Dan khususnya di set pertama terpaksa tunduk dalam pertarungan yang memakan masa 39 minit.

Berbekalkan sokongan padu ira-kira 20,000 penyokong sendiri, Lin Dan ternyata sekali lagi berada dalam kelas tersendiri bagi menjinakkan Chong Wei yang juga pemain No. 1 dunia.

Sebelum itu, harapan untuk menyaksikan beregu wanita negara muncul juara juga tidak kesampaian.

Gandingan Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui sekadar berpuas hati muncul naib juara apabila tewas 14-21, 19-21 kepada beregu tuan rumah, Zhang Yawen-Zaho Tingting dalam tempoh 46 minit.

Dalam acara perseorangan wanita yang melibatkan pemain tuan rumah, Jiang Yanjiao menewaskan Zhu Jingjing, 21-15, 21-13.

Bagi acara beregu lelaki, pasangan Korea Selatan, Jung Jae Sung-Lee Yong Dae terpaksa bekerja keras sebelum menumpaskan pasangan Denmark, Boe Mathias-Mogensen Carsten 17-21, 21-17, 21-13.

Manakala bagi acara beregu campuran, satu lagi pasangan Korea Selatan, Lee Yong Dae-Lee Hyo Jung menewaskan pasangan China, Xu Chen-Zhao Yunlei, 21-16, 21-15.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
