Skuad badminton ada ‘rahsia’



SANDARAN MALAYSIA... Barisan pemain lelaki badminton negara yang akan
beraksi pada temasya Sukan SEA
di Laos bulan depan.



"KAMI ada 'strategi rahsia' untuk memburu pingat emas pada Sukan SEA di Laos bulan depan."

Demikian kata Pengurus Besar Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM), Kenny Goh mengenai strategi mereka menghadapi cabaran pada temasya dwitahunan itu.

Menurutnya, mereka tidak meletakkan pemain mana yang bakal menyerlah kerana ia boleh menghadirkan tekanan.

"Kami mempertaruhkan pingat kepada semua pemain dan tidak memberi fokus kepada seseorang pemain sahaja.

"Kalau kita meletakkan seorang pemain dengan prospek emas, sudah pasti negara lain (lawan) akan memberi tumpuan kepada pemain tersebut.

"Biarlah kami simpan strategi rahsia ini dalam misi memburu pingat emas untuk negara," katanya.

Kenny berkata, pihaknya tetap mensasarkan dua pingat emas meskipun ada yang membuat andaian skuad badminton mampu mendapat lebih daripada itu.

"Setakat ini, kami hanya meletakkan sasaran dua pingat emas. Kalau mendapat lebih ia satu bonus kepada kami," ujarnnya.


KETUA jurulatih perseorangan negara, Datuk Misbun Sidek memberi arahan kepada Wong Mew Cho pada sesi latihan di Stadium Juara, Bukit Kiara semalam.

Melihat kekuatan di atas kertas, peluang terbaik untuk membawa pulang emas ialah menerusi acara perseorangan lelaki (Chong Wei), beregu lelaki (Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong) dan beregu wanita yang akan digalas oleh Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui.

Kali terakhir Malaysia membawa pulang emas ialah menerusi acara berpasukan pada Sukan SEA 2005 di Manila.

"Pada temasya 2007 di Korat, kita gagal melayakkan diri ke perlawanan akhir selepas menurunkan pasukan kedua."

Cabaran negara pada Sukan SEA Laos akan diketuai Chong Wei, Muhammad Hafiz Hashim, Kuang Beng Hong dan Liew Daren, manakala acara beregu pula dianggotai Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong, Mohd. Fairuzizuan Tazari-Zakry Latif dan Lim Khim Wah-Chan Peng Soon. KOSMO

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 ...
