KBS idam lebih banyak kejayaan

KUALA LUMPUR – Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) mahu lebih banyak kejayaan dicipta oleh atlet-atlet kebangsaan tahun depan, selepas meraih kejayaan di Sukan SEA XXV Laos yang berjaya menarik perhatian seluruh rakyat Malaysia.

Timbalan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Wee Jeck Seng berkata, pencapaian itu telah memberikan satu perspektif baru mengenai mutu sukan negara terutamanya kejayaan skuad bola sepak bawah 23 kebangsaan yang menamatkan kemarau 20 tahun penantian untuk meraih emas.

“Rasa puas dan gembira itu perlu kita teruskan ke tahun depan walaupun cabarannya jauh lebih besar dan getir,” katanya ketika berucap merasmikan majlis penutup Konvensyen Sukan Kebangsaan 2009, di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC), semalam.

Beliau berkata, banyak lagi kejayaan boleh dicipta pada tahun depan yang padat dengan saingan sukan antarabangsa seperti Sukan Komanwel (India), Sukan Asia (China), Piala Thomas dan Uber (Malaysia), Sukan Olimpik Remaja (Singapura) dan Sukan Malaysia (Sukma).

“Saya percaya konvensyen kali ini akan dapat membantu kita merencana dengan lebih baik untuk menghadapi cabaran-cabaran yang mendatang,” katanya.

Empat kertas kerja sepanjang dua hari konvensyen itu berlangsung termasuk oleh dua pakar dari luar negara iaitu Penasihat Prestasi, United Kingdom Sports Performance Solution, Simon Amor (Great Britain) dan Timbalan Ketua Jabatan Olimpik, Biro Sukan Kompetitif Pentadbiran Sukan China, Yuan Shoulong.

“Ia pasti telah membuka minda peserta terhadap cabaran getir yang menunggu pada Olimpik 2012 dan bagaimana Great Britain bersedia untuk mengekalkan pencapaian 19 emas di Olimpik Beijing 2008.

“Selain itu, banyak yang boleh kita belajar dengan kejayaan China yang mengungguli Olimpik Beijing dengan 51 emas selain pencapaian atlet mereka setakat Ogos lepas yang memenangi 2,310 kejohanan di Olimpik, Piala Dunia, Kejohanan Dunia dan pelbagai acara antarabangsa yang lain selama ini.

“Malah atlet mereka juga telah mencatat 1,195 rekod dunia setakat ini dengan pendekatan negara Tembok Besar itu memusatkan tumpuan nasional terhadap pembangunan sukan elit,” katanya.

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...

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...
