Kemelut jurulatih PABM selesai




SEMUANYA sudah selesai.
Mungkin tanpa campur tangan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob masalah yang timbul dijangka berlarutan.

Segala-galanya tercetus apabila lima atlet pelapis elit angkat berat negara memulaukan sesi latihan baru-baru ini sebagai membantah keputusan Persatuan Angkat Berat Malaysia (PABM).

Difahamkan, tindakan mereka memulaukan sesi latihan tersebut kerana tidak mahu 'berguru' dengan jurulatih dari Bulgaria, Stefan Stefanov.

Sebaliknya, mereka lebih cenderung berlatih di bawah bimbingan Lin Xinhui serta Zakaria Yusof buat sementara waktu.

Alasan yang diberikan mereka - Stefanov yang menjadi pilihan PABM gagal meningkatkan prestasi mereka.

Kemelut itu berpanjangan apabila PABM didakwa cuba meminggirkan Xinhui yang sebelum ini terbukti mampu melahirkan jaguh angkat berat.

Bagi mengelak kemelut itu daripada menjadi semakin buruk, semalam Ismail Sabri tampil sebagai 'orang tengah'.

"Xin Hui akan melatih mereka sementara menunggu jurulatih baru dari China atau Indonesia tiba.

"MSN (Majlis Sukan Negara) meminta PABM untuk mendapatkan jurulatih baru dan ia masih belum diputuskan bila jurulatih tersebut akan tiba," kata Ismail Sabri pada sidang media selepas mengadakan pertemuan secara tertutup dengan PABM dan lima atlet pelapis elit negara di Bukit Jalil semalam.

Atlet terbabit ialah Mohd. Shafiq Ismail, Aricco Jumith, Mohd Hafifi Mansor, Mohd. Faiz Musa dan Mohd. Zafrin Zulkifli.

Ismail Sabri turut berharap, Stefanov akan menjadi jurulatih untuk atlet pelapis dan tidak lagi membimbing atlet pelapis elit negara.

"Saya tidak mahu isu berkaitan dengan jurulatih akan menjejaskan persiapan kita bagi menghadapi Sukan Asia dan Komanwel yang akan berlangsung tahun depan.

"Kita tidak mahu masalah ini menyebabkan persembahan atlet terus menurun.

"Apa yang penting... atlet dapat membuat persiapan awal bagi menghadapi kedua-dua temasya berprestij itu," ujarnya.

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...
