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.

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...
