Pemanah negara sasar dua emas


SEJAK bertanding dalam acara memanah di Sukan Sea 1977 di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia tidak pernah memenangi pingat emas sehingga menamatkan kemarau itu di Hanoi pada 2003.

Sejak itu, skuad memanah negara tidak lagi menoleh ke belakang apabila sentiasa meletakkan diri dalam senarai emas dengan meraih tiga emas di Manila 2005 dan kemudian Korat 2007.

Kejayaan itu menunjukkan program pembangunan yang dimulakan Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) membuahkan hasil dan Malaysia mula digeruni di rantau ini dengan memecahkan dominasi pemanah Indonesia dan kali ini di Vientiane, skuad pemanah negara mahu mengulangi pencapaian yang sama.


Di bawah teraju dari Korea Selatan, Lee Jae-hyung, yang menjulang nama pemanah negara di persada antarabangsa, Sukan Sea Vientiane menjadi satu lagi medan untuk ditawan dengan anak buahnya sudah melakukan persiapan yang cukup rapi.

“Sasaran kita ialah untuk mengulangi pencapaian lalu di Korat iaitu dua emas,” kata Jae-hyung. “Kita mempunyai pemanah berpengalaman dan juga beberapa pemanah muda dan saya pasti mereka sudah bersedia untuk berdepan dengan cabaran di Vientiane.”

Sudah tentu sekali harapan negara disandarkan kepada pemenang berpengalaman Cheng Chu Sian dan Wan Mohd Khalmizam Wan Abdul Aziz bagi meneruskan kecemerlangan Malaysia dalam di temasya ini.

Selain itu dalam acara wanita, S Anbarasi turut menjadi taruhan pada ketika temasya kali ini hanya menyumbangkan empat emas dalam recurve berpasukan dan individu lelaki dan wanita. BHARIAN

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 ...
