Azizul janji kekalkan prestasi selepas mendirikan rumah tangga


KUALA LUMPUR - Jaguh lumba basikal negara, Mohd. Azizulhasni Awang berjanji untuk mengekalkan prestasi selepas mendirikan rumahtangga dengan gadis pilihannya, pada 30 Januari ini.
Bakal menjadi suami kepada Athiah Ilyana Abd. Samat, Azizulhasni menegaskan, fokusnya terhadap karier sama sekali tidak akan terjejas, malah dia berharap perkahwinan akan memberikan lagi dorongan tambahan kepada dirinya.

''Saya memandang serius dengan apa yang sedang saya lakukan sekarang, walaupun bakal bergelar suami, lumba basikal masih menjadi keutamaan.

''Malah, saya akan lebih bersemangat menjalani latihan di Melbourne kerana bakal isteri akan menemani saya di sana kerana dia sedang melanjutkan pelajaran,'' katanya kepada pemberita di sini, semalam.
Azizulhasni turut menambah, dia akan kembali ke Melbourne pada 7 atau 8 Februari ini, selepas urusan perkahwinannya selesai.




''Majlis menyambut menantu akan diadakan di Terengganu pada 5 Februari ini selepas majlis di Ipoh.
''Selepas itu, baru saya akan menyusul pulang ke Melbourne bersama kembali dengan rakan-rakan yang terlebih dahulu akan pulang pada 31 Januari ini,'' katanya yang masih segar dengan kejayaan pingat emas acara keirin berbasikal Piala Dunia Klasik UCI di Beijing, Ahad lalu.
Mendapat jolokon sebagai The Pocketrocketman, Azizulhasni juga berkata, fokusnya kini terarah kepada kejohanan Piala Dunia di Copenhagen dari 24 hingga 28 Mac ini.
''Memiliki jersi putih dalam acara keirin memang memberikan satu tekanan, dan saya berkeinginan untuk menang di sana setelah gagal menyerlah di Poland tahun lalu dalam acara berkenaan,'' ujarnya.
Skuad lumba basikal trek negara menerima tajaan RM2 juta untuk tempoh tiga tahun daripada Yayasan Sime Darby (YSD), semalam.
Memorandum Persefahaman (MoU) tersebut ditanda tangani bersama oleh Pengerusi YSD, Tun Musa Hitam dan Timbalan Presiden Persekutuan Kebangsaan Lumba Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM), Datuk Naim Mohamad.
Menurut Musa, penajaan itu bertujuan membantu perkembangan skuad lumba basikal negara sepanjang mengikuti latihan dan pertandingan di luar negara, termasuk Sukan Komanwel serta Sukan Asia.
''Diharapkan sumbangan ini akan membuatkan mereka lebih fokus dan seterusnya merealisasikan impian untuk meraih pingat emas pertama kepada negara semasa Sukan Olimpik 2012 di London,'' jelasnya.
Turut hadir ialah jurulatih skuad lumba basikal trek negara, John Beasley.

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...
