Aksi pemanah pelapis elit bakal merentap prestasi atlit senior itu

BELUM masanya Persatuan Memanah Kebangsaan (NAAM) menekan butang kecemasan mengenai kemerosotan prestasi Mohd Marbawi Sulaiman, sekalipun mengakui kebangkitan barisan pemanah pelapis elit bakal menenggelamkan aksi pemanah senior itu, andai masalah itu tidak diatasi.

Setiausaha kehormatnya, Hamid Hassan yang mengakui masih belum berkesempatan membincangkan perkara itu dengan ketua jurulatih, Lee Jae-hyung berkata, masih ada ruang untuk mengatasi masalah yang dilihat kian meningkat pada suku pertama tahun ini.

“Kita tidak pasti masalah sebenar. Tetapi, sekarang masih awal tahun dan kita kekurangan kejohanan antarabangsa.

“Jurulatih masih membuat persiapan dengan menukar gandingan pemain. Perubahan yang dibuat atau teknik baru yang diperkenalkan jurulatih kadangkala menyumbang kepada masalah seperti ini,” katanya.

Beliau sebelum ini menyatakan hasrat bertemu pengendali skuad elit dari Korea itu bagi membincangkan prestasi pemanah kelahiran Pengkalan Hulu, Perak itu sebaik tamat Piala Dunia pusingan kedua di Porec, Croatia, awal bulan ini.

Pada kejohanan itu, Mohd Marbawi tewas lebih awal apabila sekadar mencatat 1,197 untuk berada di tempat ke-69, lima kedudukan daripada kelompok 64 terbaik untuk ke pusingan pertama kalah mati.

Pada masa sama, tiga pemanah pelapis elit, Nazrin Aizat Mohd Nazir, Mohd Zulkifli Tahir dan Arif Farhan Ibrahim semakin menunjukkan peningkatan pada Grand Prix Eropah di Bulgaria yang berlangsung selama lima hari, berakhir Ahad lalu.

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...

KUALA TERENGGANU, May 29 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badaw i said the government always gives emphasis on cultivating a strong sporting culture in achieving excellence at the international level. As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9.

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...
