Thailand mula tunjuk kuasa


BANGGA... SKUAD Malaysia 'D' bergambar bersama piala dan pingat emas yang dimenangi bagi kategori lelaki Divisyen Dua padai Kejohanan Sepak Takraw Dunia 2009 di Stadium Negeri, Kuala Terengganu semalam.


SEPERTI diramal, Thailand membuktikan kejaguhan mereka apabila menguasai acara double lelaki dan wanita pada Kejohanan Sepak Takraw Dunia di Kuala Terengganu semalam.

Dalam aksi final di Stadium Negeri itu, beregu lelaki Thailand ternyata berada dalam kelas tersendiri apabila mudah menewaskan Vietnam 21-12 dan 21-14.

Gandingan Rawat Dabehompoo dan Sudachai Maneenat menjinakkan lawan dari Vietnam, Tran Quang Khai dan Le Tien Tung hanya dalam masa 35 minit.

Bagaikan satu kebetulan, rakan senegara mereka, Tidawan Daosakul dan Pikun Seedam turut mengambil masa 35 minit mengalahkan beregu Vietnam 21-3 dan 21-17 dalam perlawanan akhir kategori wanita.

Sementara itu, beregu Malaysia 'D' terpaksa berhempas-pulas dalam perlawanan yang berlangsung selama 50 minit sebelum mengatasi beregu Brunei dalam penentuan tie-break.

Mohamad Subha Mohd. Latif dan Mohd. Haminuddin Mansor tewas set pertama 18-21 sebelum bangkit untuk menang 21-15 dan 17-16, sekali gus muncul juara Divisyen Dua.

Ketua jurulatih negara, Haris Abd. Rahman ketika mengulas prestasi anak buahnya berkata, tiga beregu Malaysia yang beraksi dalam Divisyen Satu agak tertekan dan gagal menyaingi Thailand serta Vietnam.

"Mereka lebih matang dalam acara double berbanding kita dan beregu kita juga tidak bernasib baik kerana berdepan lawan kuat di peringkat awal.

"Bagaimanapun, kita gembira kerana dapat menjuarai Divisyen Dua dan ketika ini mahu memberi tumpuan kepada acara regu dan berpasukan," katanya.

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 ...
