Hajat Pei Tty-Eei Hui raih juara berganda tak sampai

TANPA perlu bertunjangkan kecergasan terbaiknya, Lee Chong Wei tetap terlalu hebat untuk cuba disaingi pemain muda China, Chen Long dalam laluannya mengungguli Kejohanan Grand Prix Emas Terbuka Malaysia, semalam.

Chong Wei, menerima rawatan fisioterapi setiap hari selepas mengadu sakit belakang ketika pusingan pertama lalu, hanya perlukan 31 minit untuk menundukkan Chen Long 21-15, 21-9 di Stadium Tertutup Johor Bahru.

Ia adalah gelaran kedua berturut-turutnya selepas memenangi Siri Super Terbuka Indonesia, minggu lalu.

Turut melakar gemilang ialah gandingan Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong yang muncul juara beregu lelaki selepas menundukkan pasangan senegara, Gan Teik Chai-Tan Bin Shen 21-11, 21-13.

Sayangnya, Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui, gagal untuk turut bergelar juara berganda selepas tumpas 9-21, 11-21 kepada pasangan muda China, Ma Jin-Wang Xiaoli pada final beregu wanita.

Chong Wei bagaimanapun memuji persembahan Chen Long dan menyifatkan pemain berusia 20 tahun itu sebagai jaguh muda dalam pembikinan.

"Dia akan suatu hari nanti menggantikan tempat Lin Dan, Chen Jin dan Bao Chunlai. Dia punya serangan yang bagus dan mampu jadi pencabar digeruni nanti.

"Kini, tumpuan saya ialah Kejohanan Dunia. Pencapaian terbaik sebelum ini hanyalah pingat gangsa. Tahun ini adalah peluang terbaik saya tetapi ia perlu dibantu persiapan yang sempurna," katanya.

Pei Tty-Eei Hui pula mengakui kecewa gagal meraih gelaran kedua selepas memenangi Terbuka Indonesia, minggu lalu.

"Kami dapat tahu mereka adalah pasangan yang pantas, tetapi kami tidak sangka mereka amat pantas. Kami hadapi masalah menyesuaikan diri dengan rentak mereka. Kini, kami perlu kembali fokus untuk persiapan ke Kejohanan Dunia," kata Pei Tty.

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 ...
