Menembak sasar empat emas pada Sukan SEA Laos


Senarai 13 penembak telah dihantar kepada MOM dan kini menunggu pengesahan untuk membolehkan NSAM menggapai impian membolot empat emas di Laos kelak.

KUALA LUMPUR - Persatuan Menembak Kebangsaan Malaysia (NSAM) mensasarkan empat pingat emas pada Sukan SEA Laos yang akan berlangsung dari 9-18 Disember.

Setiausaha Eksekutif NSAM, Jasni Shaari berkata, sasaran itu mampu dicapai berdasarkan prestasi memberangsangkan skuad negara di kejohanan dalam dan luar negara sepanjang tahun ini.

"Jika di Korat dua tahun lalu, skuad negara tidak menonjol dan sekadar membawa pulang dua pingat emas, kali ini kami mensasarkan empat emas dan yakin mampu mencapai sasaran tersebut terutamanya dalam acara rifel wanita," kata Jasni.

Katanya lagi, seramai 13 penembak negara telah melepasi had kelayakan Sukan SEA dan acara-acara yang akan disertai bagi wanita ialah Rifle 3 position, 10m Air Pistol dan 25m Sport Pistol manakala lelaki Rifle Prone.

"Senarai 13 penembak ini telah dihantar kepada Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) dan kami kini menunggu pengesahan MOM sebelum mengumumkan senarai muktamad serta melihat jika ada sebarang perubahan dan perkembangan semasa dari Laos.

"Penembak-penembak ini telah menunjukkan prestasi memuaskan dengan melepasi had kelayakan dalam beberapa kejohanan tempatan yang diadakan terutamanya kejohanan Piala Tun Tan Siew Sin pada Julai lepas dan kejohanan Mini Olimpik awal bulan ini," katanya.

Jasni berkata, dua kejohanan tempatan yang bakal berlangsung iaitu Kejohanan Menembak Piala Tun Hanif pada Oktober dan Kejohanan Menembak Kebangsaan, November ini menjadi medan pemanas badan skuad kebangsaan untuk membuktikan keupayaan sebenar sebelum berentap di Laos.

"Selain dua kejohanan tempatan ini, kami sedang menunggu lampu hijau daripada Majlis Sukan Negara dan MOM untuk penembak-penembak negara menyertai edisi kedua Sukan Perpaduan Islam 2009 di Iran dan Kejohanan Menembak Asia Tenggara di Bangkok pada November berikutan penularan wabak influenza A (H1N1)," kata Jasni.

Skuad menembak kebangsaan yang terdiri daripada 16 penembak pistol dan rifel kini meneruskan latihan pusat di Lapang Sasar Menembak Antarabangsa Langkawi (LISRAM) di bawah bimbingan jurulatih Mohd. Hashim Desa yang dijadualkan berakhir 6 September ini.

"Jika tahun lalu mereka terpaksa menyertai kejohanan pada bulan Ramadan, kali ini pula sekadar menjalani latihan pusat dan saya pasti kesungguhan dan semangat kental mereka walaupun berpuasa akan meningkatkan lagi prestasi mereka," kata Jasni.

Antara nama-nama yang melepasi had kelayakan ke Sukan SEA Laos ialah Bibiana Ng, Nur Suryani Mohd. Taibi, Shahera Rahim Raja dan Hasli Izwan Amir Hasan. - BERNAMA

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...
