LTdL 2009: Anuar ada dua misi


ANUAR mahu mencipta kejutan pada Kejohanan Lumba Basikal Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) 2009 Februari depan.


RAJA pecut negara, Anuar Manan memiliki dua misi pada Kejohanan Lumba Basikal Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) 2009 yang dijadualkan berlangsung pada 9 hingga 15 Februari depan.

Misi pertamanya ialah untuk mengharumkan nama negara menerusi penyertaan sulung bersama skuad kebangsaan pada perlumbaan berprestij itu.

Keduanya, pelumba kelahiran Kuala Ibai, Terengganu itu mahu memperbaiki pencapaian pada perlumbaan LTdL 2008 lalu.

Pada perlumbaan itu, Anuar mencipta sejarah apabila menjadi pelumba tempatan pertama berjaya menyarung jersi Raja Pecut pada perlumbaan peringkat ketiga dan keempat.

"Harapan saya sekarang ialah untuk mengatasi pencapaian saya pada LTdL 2008 setelah hanya menyarung jersi Raja Pecut pada dua peringkat sahaja," katanya.

Pelumba berusia 22 tahun itu kini giat menjalani latihan di bawah kendalian jurulatih, Jamaludin Omar dan mereka baru pulang daripada menyertai perlumbaan Jelajah Hainan dan Jelajah Indonesia bulan lalu.

Menurut Anuar, dia kini sudah mula dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan beberapa pelumba lain dalam skuad kebangsaan selepas bersama mereka sejak sebulan lalu.

"Saya dan Ahmad Haidar Anuawar masih bersama dan kini sudah mula membiasakan diri dengan pelumba lain," katanya.

Mengenai perlumbaan Jelajah Hainan, Anuar berkata dia gagal menghabiskan saingan setelah terjatuh pada peringkat pertama.

"Namun saya berjaya mengubat kekecewaan apabila berjaya menyarung jersi Raja Pecut pada perlumbaan itu yang mempertandingkan 12 peringkat," katanya.

Pada perlumbaan Jelajah Indonesia 23 November itu, Anuar berjaya mengumpul 21 mata menerusi kategori pecut setelah mengatasi pelumba dari pasukan Bintang Kranggan, Indonesia, Nugroho Kisnato yang menduduki tempat kedua dengan hanya 15 mata.

Sebelum ini, Anuar berjaya memenangi gelaran Raja Pecut pada Jelajah Malaysia 2007 dan 2008 serta Tour de East Java 2008.

Sementara itu Pengerusi Eksekutif LTdL, Abu Samah Abd. Wahab berkata dia berpuas hati dengan prestasi yang dipamerkan oleh Anuar setakat ini dalam skuad kebangsaan.

Abu Samah yang juga Presiden PKBM berharap Anuar serta pelumba lain dalam skuad kebangsaan mampu mencipta kejayaan pada LTdL 2009.

LTdL 2009 hanya akan mempertandingkan tujuh peringkat perlumbaan.

Perlumbaan yang diberikan status Hors itu dianjurkan dengan kerjasama Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) serta Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM).

Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’

Saya setuju. We are working on more coaches! “ @ManOlimpik : Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’ http://t.co/7D7wmHWaNy ” — Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) June 10, 2014 The benchmark. Can our junior athletes train as hard as Malaysia's world No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei? “IT IS okay lah. The training is not too bad lah. I will try lah … Wah, so hard lah today.” These are some of the common statements I hear from our juniors nowadays. It is not only in badminton. It is the easy-going, laid-back attitude and lack of competitiveness at grassroots level that we have problems producing quality players. I have travelled quite a bit. After ending my decade-long career with the national team, I went to play in the league in Europe. It’s different there. The European athletes know what they want. And they do it with real focus. Even the young ones possess admirable self-control and show a high level of commitment. During my time in the ...

Organising Major Sports Events Can Inspire Sports Culture Among The People - Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, June 5 (Bernama) -- Organising major sports events can help inspire sports culture among the people and ensure a healthy lifestyle said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. Khairy said the Tour of Malaysia cycling race organised since 1963, for example, can encourage more people to take the sport in a more competitive way or just for recreation purposes. "A study carried out by a world renown medical journal, The Lancet, revealed that 61 percent of adults in Malaysia do not engage themselves in active sports. "A study by the Health Ministry revealed that only 25 percent of Malaysians exercise," he said in his speech when launching the 2013 Tour of Malaysia (Jelajah Malaysia) at the Youth and Sports Ministry, here, Wednesday. "Cycling, though not as popular here as in countries like Denmark, the activity is becoming popular among the people as can be seen through an increase in sale of bicycles for recreation," he sa...

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 ...
