Terjun taruhan terbaru

KEJAYAAN dua penerjun negara, Leong Mun Yee dan Pandelela Rinong meraih pingat gangsa pada Kejohanan Dunia di Rom, Itali dua minggu lepas melayakkan mereka menyertai 17 atlet elit yang lain dalam program 'Road to London 2012'.

Terjun kini menjadi acara tumpuan negara pada Sukan Olimpik, selain berbasikal, memanah dan badminton yang sebelum ini dipilih sebagai acara yang mampu meraih pingat emas pertama bagi Malaysia dalam sejarah temasya sukan paling berprestij di dunia itu.

Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek yang mengumumkan perkara tersebut berkata, kemasukan acara terjun sebagai sukan tumpuan ke Olimpik menunjukkan keterbukaan kementerian itu dalam pemilihan sukan dan atlet elit ke London.

"Walaupun sebelum ini, cuma 17 atlet dari sukan berbasikal, memanah dan badminton tersenarai sebagai acara tumpuan ke London tetapi prestasi semasa yang membanggakan membolehkan dua penerjun negara itu dan acara terjun turut tersenarai," katanya selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat Pengurusan Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) di Bukit Jalil semalam.

Program 'Road to London 2012' dilancarkan pada Februari lepas oleh Menteri Belia dan Sukan sebelum ini, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob dengan tujuan mencari pingat emas pertama untuk kontinjen negara pada temasya Olimpik.

Ketika itu, Malaysia cuma meletakkan sasaran satu emas menerusi acara badminton.

Namun, kejayaan dua pelumba berbasikal trek negara, Azizulhasni Awang Muda dan Mohd. Rizal Tisin meraih pingat perak dan gangsa pada Kejohanan Trek Dunia pada Mac lepas meyakinkan Kementerian Belia dan Sukan untuk menambah sasaran di London kepada dua pingat emas.

Terdahulu, Ahmad Shabery turut menyampaikan hadiah di bawah Skim Hadiah Kecemerlangan Sukan (Shakam) kepada Mun Yee dan Pandelela di atas kejayaan mereka meraih gangsa pada acara terjun berirama 10 meter platform pada Kejohanan Dunia tersebut.

Kedua-dua penerjun itu menerima RM10,000 setiap seorang selepas MSN mengiktiraf kejohanan tersebut sebagai kejohanan dunia Kelas 1.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
