Menembak yakin lepasi sasaran

KUALA LUMPUR - Persatuan Menembak Kebangsaan Malaysia (NSAM) memilih kualiti berbanding kuantiti apabila hanya menyenaraikan 14 penembak untuk Sukan SEA bulan depan.

Walaupun jumlah penembak kali ini lebih kecil daripada skuad di Korat 2007, namun NSAM yakin untuk membawa pulang empat pingat emas daripada 10 acara yang akan disertai Malaysia - sekali ganda dari kutipan dua emas yang dimenangi dua tahun lalu.

Kehadiran semula trio pistol wanita, Bibiana Ng, Joseline Cheah dan Nur Masitah Badrin dari penggantungan dua tahun banyak mempengaruhi sasaran tinggi badan menembak kebangsaan itu.

Malah, NSAM turut mengakui kebanyakan sasaran mereka diletakkan kepada penembak wanita termasuk skuad raifal yang diketuai Nur Suryani Taibi.

Suryani tidak pernah gagal menghadiahkan emas buat Malaysia pada setiap Sukan SEA yang disertai sejak 2001, malah turut meraih satu daripada dua emas negara di Korat dalam acara 50m rifle prone.

Bibiana pula memiliki reputasi tinggi untuk menghadiahkan emas dalam 10m air pistol individu, malah kombinasi bersama Joseline dan Nur Masitah membentuk pasukan paling mantap di Laos.

Selain itu Malaysia juga mempunyai peluang yang baik dalam acara standard pistol lelaki menerusi Hasli Izwan Amir Hassan.

Persiapan Hasli untuk menghadapi Sukan SEA cukup sempurna apabila dia memecahkan rekod kebangsaan berusia 22 tahun dalam acara 25m di Kejohanan Trofi Tun Haniff, bulan lalu.

Penembak berusia 32 tahun itu mencatat 570 mata untuk mengatasi rekod lama milik Sabiamad Ahmad - 566 mata. Pencapaian itu memberi keyakinan kepadanya untuk mencari lebih dari sebutir emas di Laos.

"Sebenarnya sasaran utama saya adalah dalam acara 25m rapid fire pistol individu tetapi kejayaan memecah rekod kebangsaan dalam standard pistol memberi keyakinan kepada saya untuk mencari emas acara tersebut,'' akui Hasli. UTUSAN

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 ...
