KUALA LUMPUR - Kemelut yang melanda atlet angkat berat remaja negara mengenai isu jurulatih selesai apabila campur tangan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob selepas berjumpa dengan wakil Persatuan Angkat Berat Malaysia (PABM) semalam.

PABM dilanda masalah selepas lima atlet angkat berat remaja yang dinaik taraf menjadi atlet pelapis elit memulaukan sesi latihan apabila membantah tindakan PABM yang memaksa mereka mengikuti latihan di bawah kendalian jurulatih Bulgaria, Stefan Stefanov.

''Perkara ini sudah selesai apabila saya berjumpa dengan mereka (atlet angkat berat remaja) dan membincangkannya dengan lebih mendalam,'' katanya selepas perjumpaan itu.

Sehubungan itu katanya, empat atlet elit dan lima atlet pelapis elit akan dilatih jurulatih dari China, Lin Xin Hui buat sementara waktu selepas Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) dan Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) meminta PABM mendapatkan seorang lagi jurulatih.

''Ia terpulang kepada PABM untuk mendapatkan jurulatih dari mana tetapi dalam cadangan sebelum ini mereka mahukan jurulatih dari China dan Indonesia.

''Bagaimanapun buat sementara waktu ini Xin Hui dan Zakaria Yusof akan melatih mereka, manakala Stefan akan menjadi jurulatih atlet remaja bukan elit,'' katanya.

Lima atlet pelapis elit terbabit ialah Mohd. Shafiq Ismail kategori 56 kilogram, Aricco Jumith (62kg), Mohd. Hafifi Mansor (69kg), Mohd. Faiz Musa (94kg), Mohd. Zafrin Zulkifli (105kg).

Sementara itu, beliau juga turut memaklumkan KBS akan menunggu kertas cadangan dari MSN mengenai kejohanan Mini Olimpik yang bakal diadakan Ogos ini.

''Perkara ini telah dipersetujui dalam Konvensyen Sukan tahun lalu dan kejohanan ini akan melibatkan beberapa acara sukan yang dipertandingkan dalam Sukan Olimpik.

''Ia akan diadakan secara terbuka dan tiada had peringkat umur serta berbeza dengan Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) yang diadakan setiap dua tahun sekali berbanding kejohanan tersebut setiap tahun,'' katanya.

Tambahnya, acara yang dipertandingkan pada Sukma kebanyakannya melibatkan beberapa acara yang tidak dipertandingkan dalam Sukan Olimpik seperti boling, skuasy dan sepak takraw.

Beliau juga membayangkan akan menjemput negara luar menyertainya tetapi akan membincangkan mengenainya terlebih dahulu kerana ia melibatkan kos yang tinggi.

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...

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 ...
