RAYZAM semakin yakin selepas berguru selama dua bulan di Jerman.

PENGALAMAN dua bulan berlatih di Jerman telah mengembalikan keyakinan jaguh acara 110 meter lari berpagar negara, Rayzamshah Wan Sofian.

Keyakinan itu semakin melonjakkan semangatnya untuk kembali menggegar trek pada Sukan SEA di Laos Disember depan.

Malah, atlet kelahiran Sabah itu juga bertekad untuk mempertahankan pingat emas dan rekod Sukan SEA yang dilakukannya pada edisi 2007 di Korat dua tahun lalu.

"Memang saya mahu pertahankan pingat emas yang saya menangi dua tahun lalu. Tidak kira dengan apa cara sekali pun, saya akan berusaha untuk mencapainya," ujar Rayzamshah yang kini memegang rekod Sukan SEA dengan catatan 13.91 saat.

"Begitupun, saya tidak mahu terlalu yakin kerana ia boleh menghadirkan tekanan kepada diri sendiri.

"Lagipun, saya perlu melepasi had kelayakan ke Sukan SEA iaitu 13.95s sebelum boleh membuat sebarang perancangan."

Sebagai persediaan awal, Rayzamshah mahu menggunakan sepenuhnya pengalamannya ketika berlatih di Jerman selama dua bulan baru-baru ini bagi melakar catatan yang lebih baik.

"Memang banyak yang saya pelajari sepanjang berada di Jerman. Saya juga telah beraksi dalam beberapa kejohanan tempatan selain diberi peluang membuat penampilan pada Kejohanan Olahraga Dunia di Berlin," tambahnya yang mempunyai catatan peribadi terbaik musim ini dengan 13.98s.

"Saya harap saya dapat menggunakan sepenuhnya pengalaman ini untuk melepasi had kelayakan pada Terbuka Perlis dan Terbuka Malaysia bulan depan."

Dalam pada itu, Rayzamshah juga mengakui dia kini berada pada prestasi terbaik selepas kembali mendapat sentuhan daripada jurulatih peribadinya, Raymie Abu Bakar.

"Bayangkanlah, saya terpaksa berlatih di Jerman selama dua bulan tanpa kehadiran Raymie dan saya masih mampu mencatat masa 13.98s.

"Kini, saya telah kembali berlatih di bawah bimbingan Raymie dan saya harap saya mampu melakukan yang lebih baik daripada itu terutamanya untuk melepasi had kelayakan ke Sukan SEA," ujar Rayzamshah.

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...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9.

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...
