SEPERTI diramal, jaguh lumba basikal trek negara, Mohd. Azizulhasni Awang muncul selaku pemenang Anugerah Atlet Terbaik Persatuan Penulis-Penulis Sukan Malaysia (SAM)-100Plus 2009 yang berlangsung di Hotel Hilton, Petaling Jaya, semalam.

Azizulhasni dipilih meraih anugerah tersebut menerusi undian yang dijalankan sepenuhnya oleh ahli-ahli SAM setelah enam atlet disenarai pendekkan dengan kerjasama dari Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN).
Sepanjang penampilannya pada tahun 2009, pelumba berusia 22 tahun itu telah meraih pelbagai gelaran di pentas antarabangsa.

Antara pencapaian terbaiknya ialah meraih pingat emas acara keirin pada Kejohanan Piala Dunia IV di Beijing, China.


Azizulhasni turut meraih emas acara 200 meter pecut individu pada Kejohanan Kebangsaan Colombia.
Selaku penerima anugerah tersebut, Azizulhasni membawa pulang hadiah wang tunai RM10,000 beserta trofi.
Kejayaan itu juga menyaksikan Azizulhasni mengenepikan lima lagi calon lain iaitu ratu skuasy, Datuk Nicol David, jaguh, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, Daniel Bego (renang), penerjun negara, Leong Mun Yee-Pandelela Rinong dan juga skuad badminton wanita negara.

Azizulhasni yang tidak dapat hadir semalam kerana masih menjalani latihan serta menuntut di Universiti Deakin di Melbourne, Australia, sempat dihubungi melalui temu bual secara langsung menerusi panggilan telefon pada majlis tersebut.

“Anugerah ini nanti bakal menjadi suntikan semangat kepada diri saya untuk mencipta lebih banyak kejayaan bagi mengharumkan nama negara di pentas antarabangsa,” jelas Azizulhasni yang diwakili oleh ibunya, Selamiah Yong pada majlis semalam.

Sementara itu, skuad bola sepak bawah 23 (B-23) negara pula menerima anugerah khas iaitu Outdo Yourself yang mula diperkenalkan pada tahun ini.

Anugerah tersebut diberikan berikutan kejayaan skuad kendalian K. Rajagobal itu menamatkan kemarau selama 20 tahun apabila berjaya merangkul pingat emas pada temasya Sukan SEA di Laos Disember tahun lalu.

Tetamu kehormat, Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin telah menyampaikan anugerah pada majlis itu.

Turut hadir ialah Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek dan Pengurus Hal Ehwal Korporat F&N Beverages Marketing Sdn. Bhd., Datuk Kamal Harun.

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...
