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.

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...

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...
