Fairuzizuan-Zakry dapat tiket ke Siri Super Masters Akhir

KUALA LUMPUR - Fairuzizuan Tazari- Zakry Latif menerima khabar gembira semalam apabila mendapat tiket untuk beraksi pada Kejohanan Badminton Siri Super Masters Akhir di Johor Bahru, minggu depan.

Penyertaan beregu No. 11 dunia itu disahkan Persekutuan Badminton Dunia (BWF) bagi menggantikan pasangan Indonesia, Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan yang menarik diri.

Indonesia membatalkan penyertaan pemain-pemain kebangsaannya pada kejohanan bernilai AS$500,000 (RM1.7 juta) itu untuk memberi tumpuan kepada Sukan SEA di Laos, 9-18 Disember.

Bagaimanapun, pemain yang tidak berada di bawah naungan Persatuan Bulu Tangkis Seluruh Indonesia (PBSI) iaitu juara Olimpik 2004, Taufik Hidayat dan beregu Alvent Yulianto akan beraksi.

China, yang turut memilih untuk merehatkan pemain-pemain utamanya bagaimanapun tetap menghantar pemain No. 8 dunia, Bao Chunlai, Lu Lan (perseorangan wanita) dan Guo Zhendong-Xu Chen dalam beregu lelaki.

Ketiadaan pemain-pemain utama China dan Indonesia turut membawa khabar baik buat pemain muda Denmark, Jan Jorgensen apabila mendapat tiket untuk beraksi bersama rakan senegara, Peter Hoeg Gade.

Malaysia mendominasi kedudukan pilihan dalam tiga acara, di mana Datuk Lee Chong Wei turun sebagai pilihan utama perseorangan lelaki, Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong (beregu lelaki) dan Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui beregu wanita.

"Walaupun agak mengecewakan melihat beberapa pemain terbaik dunia tidak beraksi, namun kami tetap gembira kerana kejohanan ini tetap menghadirkan cabaran yang sangat kuat,'' kata Ketua Pegawai Operasi BWF, Thomas Lund.

Pasukan negara membawa pulang tiga kejuaraan pada edisi sulung kejohanan di Kota Kinabalu tahun lalu menerusi Chong Wei, Kien Keat-Boon Heong dan Pei Tty-Eei Hui.

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.

Sports press clippings on the 24 April 2008

Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob (centre) speaks to athletes after giving away the Olympic qualifying incentives in Putrajaya yesterday. — Pic: RAMDZAN MASIAM Thomas Cup Equally Important, Says Ismail PUTRAJAYA, April 23 (Bernama) -- Although Malaysia want badly a badminton gold at the Beijing Olympics in August, winning the Thomas Cup in Jakarta in May is equally important, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob. "My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992. "Statements made that the Beijing Olympics takes precedence over other events is not the position of the ministry," he told reporters at his office here today. Ismail said no matter what events Malaysians competed, seeking glory for the nation should be the overriding priority. He said this when asked to comment on remarks by national badminton chief coach Yap Kim Hock on...
