MSN tumpu atlit Cabaran 2010

Kumpulan terima bantuan penuh untuk latihan: Zolkples

MAJLIS Sukan Negara (MSN) akan memberi tumpuan khusus kepada atlit melalui Program Cabaran 2010, bukan lagi kepada jenis sukan.

Ini bererti segala bantuan kewangan dan latihan akan disalurkan untuk penyediaan atlit yang dikenalpasti bagi Sukan Komanwel dan Asia tahun depan, sekali gus memaksa persatuan sukan kebangsaan melahirkan lebih banyak atlit dan bukannya bergantung kepada satu atau dua sahaja bagi menuntut peruntukan daripada MSN.


Ketua Pengarahnya, Datuk Zolkples Embong berkata, selama ini MSN hanya memberi bantuan kewangan dan kemudahan kepada persatuan sukan kebangsaan untuk menjalankan program dan membangunkan atlit-atlit mereka.

"Jika diikutkan persatuan, mereka akan meletakkan sasaran 70 hingga 80 emas bagi mendapatkan dana," kata Zolkples selepas majlis penutup Konvensyen Sukan Kebangsaan 2009 di PWTC semalam.

"Kini, kita akan ambil pendekatan baru dan menumpukan perhatian kepada atlit. Selepas ini, kami akan mula memilih atlit-atlit berpotensi termasuk pemenang-pemenang emas di Sukan Sea Laos untuk dimasukkan dalam Program Cabaran 2010.

"Kumpulan ini akan diberi bantuan penuh oleh MSN daripada segi program latihan dan kewangan," katanya.

Pada masa sama, Zolkples turut berpuas hati dengan pencapaian keseluruhan atlit-atlit pelapis di Vientiane baru-baru ini yang dilihat dapat meneruskan kesinambungan pemburuan emas di peringkat antarabangsa.

"Mereka mempunyai potensi untuk menyerlah dalam masa dua tahun akan datang. Tapi, kita tidak boleh cepat berpuas hati dengan pencapaian ini.

"MSN akan meneruskan usaha meningkatkan mutu sukan negara dengan memanggil lebih ramai pakar-pakar dari luar negara untuk berkongsi pengalaman mereka.

Sementara itu, Zolkples menyatakan kebimbangannya terhadap acara sukan subjektif seperti taekwondo, silat dan wushu yang tidak membabitkan pertempuran.

"Mungkin kita tidak meletakkan sasaran tinggi untuk sukan seni sebegini tetapi lebih menumpukan kepada sukan tempur," 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 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...
