KEJAYAAN meraih beberapa kejuaraan sepanjang tahun lalu, membolehkan skuad memanah lelaki negara berada pada kedudukan ranking kelima dunia, naik dua tangga daripada sebelum ini.

Malaysia kini berada di belakang Korea Selatan, Taiwan, Itali dan India selepas mengumpul 249,000 mata keseluruhan berbanding Korea yang mengumpul 337,000 mata, Taiwan (294,750 mata), Itali (287,000 mata) dan India (254,000 mata).

Setiausaha Kehormat Persatuan Memanah Kebangsaan Malaysia (NAAM), Hamid Hassan, berkata mata keseluruhan diperoleh menerusi kejayaan pemanah Olimpik, Cheng Chu Sian, Wan Mohd Kalmizan Wan Abd Aziz, Muhamad Marbawi Sulaiman dan Nazrin Aizad Mat Nasir meletakkan diri masing-masing dalam kelompok 120 pemanah terbaik dunia.

Berdasar kepada ranking dunia yang dikeluarkan Persekutuan Memanah Antarabangsa (FITA), Cheng Chu Sian kekal berada sebagai pemanah nombor satu negara dengan berada pada kedudukan ke-19, Wan Kalmizan (29), Nazrin Aizad (95) dan Muhamad Marbawi (101).

"Kedudukan tempat kelima mampu dipertingkatkan sekiranya setiap pemanah mengekalkan keupayaan masing-masing dalam kejohanan yang akan datang," katanya.

Selain itu, katanya, kedudukan sekarang lebih baik jika prestasi Marbawi yang dianggap pemanah nombor dua negara berada pada kemuncaknya di Sukan Olimpik Beijing tahun lalu.

Bagaimanapun, Marbawi gagal mengiringi Chu Sian ke suku akhir kejohanan itu.

Sementara itu, Malaysia akan menghantar 12 pemanah pada kejohanan pertama Grand Prix Asia di Bangkok pada 19 hingga 23 Februari ini.

Hamid berkata, Malaysia akan menghantar enam pemanah lelaki dan wanita dalam acara recurved dan compound.

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...
