Roslinda tetap tenang


ROSLINDA mahu tumpu kepada karier olahraga.

JAGUH lompat bergalah wanita negara, Roslinda Samsu tetap tenang walaupun status latihannya masih belum terjawab.

Begitupun, dia tetap menanam azam untuk mencipta sesuatu yang lebih membanggakan tahun ini.

Pemegang rekod kebangsaan dengan catatan 4.40 meter itu menjadi bahan perdebatan segelintir pihak ekoran tawaran yang diterimanya untuk menjalani latihan di Pusat Latihan Berprestasi Tinggi (HPTC) di Fomia, Itali.

"Biarlah orang berpolitik di surat khabar mengenai kedudukan saya asalkan karier olahraga saya tidak terjejas," jelas Roslinda.

"Saya juga bersyukur kerana sudah matang untuk melalui semua ini.

"Sudah 10 tahun saya menceburkan diri dalam bidang ini dan rasanya ia telah menjadikan saya lebih dewasa untuk berdepan apa juga kemungkinan," tambahnya.

Begitupun, Roslinda berharap segala isu yang timbulkan ketika ini tidak akan menjejaskan peluangnya untuk menyertai sebarang kejohanan tempatan mahupun antarabangsa.

"Selagi mereka memberi peluang kepada saya untuk menyertai mana-mana kejohanan, selagi itu saya akan meneruskan latihan," jelas Roslinda yang kini berlatih di bawah kendalian Mansahar Abdul Jalil.

Sebelum ini, atlet kelahiran Kuala Nerang, Kedah itu mendapat tawaran daripada Persekutuan Olahraga Antarabangsa (IAAF) untuk menjalani latihan di HPTC di Itali.

Begitupun, IAAF dalam tawaran terbarunya bersetuju untuk menghantar seorang jurulatih lompat tinggi dari Rusia untuk melatih Roslinda di HPTC Asia di Bukit Jalil.

"Sepatutnya, bulan ini (Januari) saya sudah mendapat seorang jurulatih dari Rusia, tetapi sehingga kini tiada berita mengenainya," tambah Roslinda.

"Jika betul saya akan mendapat jurulatih baru, maka ia adalah satu bonus buat saya."

Mengulas mengenai perancangannya tahun ini, Roslinda yang mewakili negara pada Sukan Olimpik di Beijing, Ogos tahun lalu bertekad untuk memperbaiki rekod kebangsaan, 4.40m miliknya sendiri.

"Sudah hampir tiga tahun rekod itu gagal diperbaharui, jadi tahun ini saya berazam untuk melakukannya (perbaharui rekod)," jelas Roslinda yang bakal memulakan aksinya tahun ini dengan menyertai Kejohanan Liga Antarabangsa Lompat Bergalah di Taiwan, Mac depan.

"Saya juga mahu memberi tumpuan kepada Kejohanan Dunia, Kejohanan Trek dan Padang Asia selain Sukan SEA," tambahnya.

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 ...
