Chong Wei memang terbaik


CHONG WEI telah merekodkan gelaran Terbuka Malaysia sebanyak lima kali.



BEKAS pemain badminton No. 1 negara, Ong Ewe Hock (gambar) menyifatkan Datuk Lee Chong Wei sebagai pemain paling berkualiti pernah dilahirkan.

Pada masa yang sama, Ewe Hock mengakui bahawa pemain ranking pertama dunia itu memang layak untuk bergelar juara pada Kejohanan Badminton Terbuka Malaysia yang berakhir Ahad lalu.

Pada kejohanan Super Series Dunia pertama itu, Chong Wei mudah menewaskan pemain Korea Selatan, Park Sung-hwan 21-14, 21-13 sekali gus mengulangi kejayaannya pada 2004, 2005, 2006 dan 2008.

"Saya dapat lihat perbezaan Chong Wei dengan mana-mana pemain lain," jelas Ewe Hock yang pernah muncul juara Terbuka Malaysia pada tahun 1996 dan 2001.

"Dia memiliki semangat yang cukup luar biasa dan jarang dimiliki mana-mana pemain terutamanya pemain Malaysia. Kekuatan itulah yang membezakan Chong Wei dengan yang lain."

Ewe Hock juga menjelaskan bahawa kejayaan Chong Wei meraih gelaran kelimanya pada Terbuka Malaysia itu adalah satu kejayaan yang memang sudah diduga.

"Dia memang layak untuk menang berdasarkan apa yang dibuktikannya selama ini.

"Kita dapat lihat kesungguhannya di atas gelanggang. Semua ini adalah kerana latihan serta kerja keras yang dia lakukan.

"Saya juga tidak nampak mana-mana pemain yang boleh menggugat kedudukan Chong Wei buat masa ini. Dia adalah pemain yang sangat konsisten," tambahnya.

Sementara itu, Ewe Hock yang juga bekas pemain ranking kedua dunia turut memuji aksi bertenaga yang dipamerkan pemain muda terutamanya Liew Daren.

"Daren miliki masa depan jika corak permainannya pada Terbuka Malaysia dijadikan ukuran.

"Kejayaan menewaskan pemain berpengalaman (Boonsak Ponsana dan Hsueh Hsuan Yi) pada kejohanan berprestij seperti Terbuka Malaysia adalah satu pencapaian yang membanggakan," tambah Ewe Hock.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
