ZATIL (tengah), Shalin (kiri) dan Vander Tol memegang trofi masing-masing pada Kejohanan Boling Pesta Pulau Pinang Antarabangsa di Mega Lanes, Prai, Pulau Pinang semalam.


PEMAIN wanita negara, Zatil Iman Abdul Ghani muncul juara kategori Terbuka Wanita pada Kejohanan Boling Pesta Pulau Pinang Antarabangsa di Mega Lanes, Prai, Pulau Pinang semalam.

Kejayaan Zatil itu dianggap cukup bermakna kerana dia berjaya mengetepikan cabaran pemain berpengalaman, Shalin Zulkifli yang menduduki tangga kedua.

Tempat ketiga pula menjadi milik pemain Belanda, Ghislaine Vander Tol.

Keseluruhannya, Zatil menamatkan saingan dengan melakukan 4,801 jatuhan pin manakala Shalin (4,701) dan Vander Tol (4,635).

Bagi Zatil, gelaran juara dilihat bakal menjadi miliknya apabila dia berjaya melakukan balingan sempurna pada permainan ketujuh, Jumaat lalu.

"Balingan sempurna itu membolehkan saya memintas pemain lain dan saya cuba mengekalkan rentak permainan saya hingga tamat saingan.

"Pada mulanya, saya tidak menjangkakan mampu muncul juara apabila Shalin dan dia lagi pemain (Ghislaine dan Tannya Roumimper dari Indonesia) berada di hadapan saya pada hari pertama.

"Selain itu, mereka juga pemain yang cukup berpengalaman berbanding saya," kata Zatil yang meraih pingat gangsa pada Kejohanan Remaja Dunia di Orlando, Amerika Syarikat.

Sementara itu, Shalin berkata, walaupun gagal bergelar juara, dia tetap gembira dengan prestasinya sepanjang kejohanan tersebut.

"Saya beraksi tanpa sebarang tekanan dan saya berjaya menampilkan aksi yang baik sehingga penghujung saingan," kata Shalin.

Bagi kategori lelaki, pemain negara, Alex Liew dan Muhd. Nur Aiman masing-masing menduduki tempat kedua dan ketiga.

Juara bagi kategori tersebut dimenangi pemain handalan Korea Selatan, Choi Bok Eum yang melakukan 5,445 jatuhan pin. Alex pula merekodkan 5,129 jatuhan pin sementara Nur Aiman (5,102). KOSMO

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

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 ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
