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..

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 ...

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...

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 ...
