Roslinda tetap bersemangat


ROSLINDA tidak hilang tumpuan meskipun gagal pada Kejohanan Dunia.


RATU lompat bergalah negara, Roslinda Samsu belum putus harapan.

Walaupun gagal melonjakkan namanya pada Kejohanan Olahraga Dunia minggu lalu ia tetap tidak menjejaskan misinya untuk mempertahankan pingat emas pada Sukan SEA di Laos penghujung tahun ini.

Kejohanan Trek & Padang Asia (ATF) turut menjadi sasarannya.

Pada Kejohanan Dunia di Berlin itu, Roslinda gagal melayakkan diri ke pusingan akhir selepas menduduki tempat ke-14 daripada 16 peserta.

Dia yang menjadi wakil tunggal negara ke kejohanan berprestij itu sekadar mencatat ketinggian 4.25 meter.

"Bagi saya, catatan 4.25m itu bukanlah teruk sangat sebab saya hanya sempat menyertai tiga kejohanan tempatan dan dua peringkat kebangsaan," jelas Roslinda.

"Lagipun, kebanyakan kejohanan yang saya sertai itu bukan terlalu kompetitif untuk membolehkan saya melakukan yang terbaik di Berlin."

Begitupun, Roslinda sedar perjuangannya untuk tahun ini belum berakhir kerana sasaran terbarunya adalah pada Kejohanan Trek & Padang Asia (ATF) di Guangzhou, China pada November ini selain temasya Sukan SEA Disember depan.

"Selepas berakhirnya Kejohanan Dunia, saya akan kembali memulakan latihan ke peringkat paling asas," tambah atlet kelahiran Kedah ini.

"Ia amat penting untuk mempersiapkan diri bagi menghadapi dua kejohanan utama itu.

"Saya akui, andai semua persiapan berjalan lancar, saya masih mempunyai peluang untuk memperbaharui rekod kebangsaan milik saya sendiri."

Untuk rekod, Roslinda merupakan pemegang rekod kebangsaan acara lompat bergalah wanita dengan catatan 4.40m yang dilakukan di Barcelona pada tahun 2007.

Dia juga merupakan pemenang emas pada Kejohanan Trek & Padang Asia (ATF) di Amman, Jordan dua tahun lalu selain menjadi atlet No. 1 di pentas Sukan SEA..

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...

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 ...
