Sentuhan Hendrawan buat pemain nombor satu dunia mandi peluh

TAHAP aksi Hafiz Hashim yang lebih menyengat jadi tumpuan biarpun Lee Chong Wei akhirnya tetap mengungguli perseorangan lelaki acara badminton Mini Olimpik di Stadium Juara, semalam.

Hafiz, selepas dua minggu dilatih pengendali dari Indonesia, Hendrawan, mempamer tentangan sengit pada set awal sebelum kecundang 17-21. Chong Wei bagaimanapun jelas pada kelas lebih tinggi ketika menang 21-10 di set kedua.

Peningkatan Hafiz itu, terutama kekerapannya menggunakan taktik lebih menyerang, diakui sendiri Chong Wei, yang dituntut mempamer tahap terbaiknya.

"Saya mempunyai kelebihan daripada segi kelajuan, tetapi jika Hafiz meneruskan persembahan seperti hari ini (semalam), saya yakin dia pasti akan mampu kembali kepada tahap prestasi tertingginya," kata Chong Wei.

Tiada kejutan juga berlaku pada final perseorangan wanita apabila Wong Mew Choo, selepas ditentang hebat Lydia Cheah pada set pertama, muncul juara menerusi kemenangan 24-22, 21-17.

Gandingan Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui juga nyata lebih baik daripada lawan muda, Chong Sook Chin-Woon Khe Wei apabila menang 21-16, 21-17 ketika Fairuzizuan Tazari-Pei Tty muncul juara beregu campuran menerusi kejayaan 21-11, 21-18 ke atas Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying.

Final beregu lelaki yang menemukan dua pasangan veteran � Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah dan Chan Chong Ming-Chew Choon Eng � akhirnya dimenangi Chong Ming-Choon Eng 16-21, 21-15, 24-22.

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...

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...
