MOM yakin India mampu anjur Sukan Komanwel


MAJLIS Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) yakin India mampu menganjurkan Sukan Komanwel yang dijadualkan berlangsung dari 3 hingga 14 Oktober 2010 di New Delhi, serta menyediakan prasarana yang diperlukan mengikut jadual.

Setiausaha Kehormat MOM, Datuk Sieh Kok Chi berkata, apa yang dialami New Delhi sebagai penganjur Sukan Komanwel adalah sama seperti yang dialami Malaysia ketika menganjurkan temasya sama pada 1998 yang pada masa itu mengalami krisis ekonomi dunia tetapi masih mampu menyediakan kemudahan dan menganjurkannya.

"Sekarang, keadaan ekonomi dunia tidak stabil. Mungkin mereka juga mengalami krisis ekonomi. (Namun) saya rasa soal cepat atau lambat sesuatu kemudahan sukan bukan satu masalah kerana mereka mempunyai tenaga kerja yang ramai dan murah," katanya.


Media melaporkan sebuah panel anggota parlimen India mendedahkan ibu negara India itu, kemudahan sukan yang dibina untuk temasya sukan antarabangsa itu gagal mengikut jadual.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Tetap Pengangkutan, Pelancongan dan Kebudayaan, Sitaram Yechury mendedahkan fakta yang mengejutkan mengenai kelemahan dalam membuat persiapan itu dan penganjur pula sama sekali tidak bersedia untuk menganjurkan kejohanan berkenaan.

Kok Chi berkata kerajaan India berupaya menganjurkan sukan bertaraf dunia itu memandangkan negara berkenaan berpengalaman menganjurkan Sukan Asia sebelum ini.

India pernah menjadi tuan rumah kepada Sukan Asia pada 1951 dan 1982, dan pemilihan New Delhi menjadikan India negara rantau Asia kedua selepas Malaysia dipilih menjadi tuan rumah Sukan Komanwel.

Temasya sukan kedua terbesar dunia itu dijangka disertai atlit dari 71 negara bekas tanah jajahan British, dan mempertanding 17 jenis sukan. - Bernama

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 ...
