  • Misbun: Tak mampu beri motivasi
  • Rexy: Terlalu hampir kejohanan utama

    ADA 'ramuan yang hilang' daripada pentas Mini Olimpik ketika pemain terperangkap dalam situasi gagal menyerlahkan persembahan terbaik pada hari pertama saingan badminton temasya itu, semalam.

    Penilaian itu disuarakan jurulatih negara, Misbun Sidek, ketika ditanya wartawan mengenai situasi kejohanan yang berlangsung di Kompleks Sukan Bukit Kiara selama dua hari itu.

  • Misbun berkata, padanya, ia umpama berlatih dalam suasana kejohanan kerana penganjurannya dilihat kurang daya tarikan, selain tidak mampu memberi motivasi yang kuat kepada pemain untuk memberikan cabaran pada tahap tertinggi.

    “Masih ada yang perlu diperhalusi oleh penganjur terutama bagi menambahkan tarikan itu kerana kebanyakan pemain tidak mempamerkan kemampuan sebenar mereka.

    “Bagi pemain yang berada pada tahap tertinggi seperti Lee Chong Wei, dia akan melakukan sebaik mungkin untuk memenangi pertandingan ini, namun untuk pemain lain, ia hanya dianggap pelengkap jemputan,” katanya.

    Kata Misbun, sebagai contoh, publisiti yang diberikan kepada kejohanan ini amat sedikit dan jika ia dibuat sebaik mungkin, sekurang-kurangnya ia mampu menadi daya pemikat kepada pemain untuk bermain bersungguh-sungguh selain menarik penonton untuk hadir.

    “Namun, walau apa juga kelemahan yang ada, saya amat menyokong penganjurannya kerana ia dilihat amat bagus buat pemain bagi mempersiapkan diri untuk kejohanan yang lebih besar di masa hadapan,” katanya.

    Dalam pada itu, ketua jurulatih beregu negara, Rexy Mainaky pula berkata, temasya kejohanan itu dilihat terlampau hampir dengan kejohanan utama dunia mampu mendatangkan masalah kepada pemain.

    “Selain itu, ia patut diperbanyakkan kerana di Indonesia, kejohanan seperti itu dianggap lumrah bagi mengetengahkan pemain muda berpotensi.

    “Pemain yang hebat mampu dilahirkan dari kejohanan seperti ini kerana pasti akan berlaku ‘upset’ seperti apa yang berlaku pada hari ini yang dilihat dapat mencorak pemain supaya sentiasa berada di tahap tertinggi,” katanya.

    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...

    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 ...

    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...
