Sukan Perpaduan Islam batal


HASRAT atlit negara beraksi di Sukan Perpaduan Islam di Teheran, April depan berkecai apabila Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) mengesahkan temasya sukan membabitkan negara Islam itu, dibatalkan.
HASRAT atlit negara beraksi di Sukan Perpaduan Islam di Teheran, April depan berkecai apabila Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) mengesahkan temasya sukan membabitkan negara Islam itu, dibatalkan.

Setiausaha Kehormat MOM, Datuk Sieh Kok Chi berkata, kegagalan tuan rumah Iran menunjukkan kesungguhan dalam penganjuran yang dijadualkan berlangsung pada 9 hingga 25 April ini di tiga bandar raya iaitu Teheran, Esfahan dan Mashhad mendorong Persekutuan Sukan Perpaduan Islam (ISSF) membatalkannya.

“Saya mendapat surat daripada ISSF minggu lalu memaklumkan Sukan Perpaduan Islam dibatalkan. Perkara ini sudah dijangka kerana Iran tidak mengambil langkah persediaan walaupun waktu kejohanan semakin hampir.


“Kalau diikutkan, Sukan Perpaduan Islam ini dianjurkan Iran tahun lalu, tapi mereka mahu menunda kejohanan itu ke tahun ini. Tapi tahun ini, mereka tak tunjuk kesungguhan, tak tunjuk minat menganjurkannya. Jika dianjurkan pada saat akhir, pasti banyak negara tidak bersedia,” katanya yang dihubungi semalam.

Iran sebelum ini dilaporkan terpaksa menunda Sukan Perpaduan Islam, Oktober tahun lalu ke April tahun ini berikutan kebimbangan menularnya wabak selsema babi atau Influenza A (H1N1) selain keadaan politik tidak menentu di negara berkenaan.
Sukan Perpaduan Islam yang sepatutnya masuk tahun kedua selepas kali pertama diadakan di Arab Saudi pada 2005 itu mengikut perancangan menjadi antara gelanggang buat atlit negara menguji kemampuan di peringkat antarabangsa bagi persediaan ke temasya sukan lebih besar iaitu Sukan Komanwel New Delhi, India pada Oktober dan Sukan Asia Guangzhou, China, November ini.

Namun, Kok Chi menafikan kegagalan menyertai Sukan Perpaduan Islam itu akan menjejaskan persiapan ke Sukan Komanwel dan Asia.

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...
