Hup Wei sasar pecah rekod kebangsaan di Iran


HUP Wei mahu pecahkan rekod kebangsaan dan peribadi setinggi 2.27 meter yang dilakukannya pada Kejohanan Olahraga Terbuka China dua tahun lalu.
JAGUH lompat tinggi negara Lee Hup Wei mahu menjadikan Kejohanan Dalam Dewan Asia di Iran, minggu depan sebagai medan memecahkan rekod kebangsaan dan peribadinya setinggi 2.27 meter yang dilakukannya pada Kejohanan Olahraga Terbuka China dua tahun lalu.

Dia akan berlepas Isnin ini bagi menyesuaikan diri dengan keadaan di sana menjelang kejohanan itu dari 24 sehingga 26 Februari ini.

Sejak mencipta rekod itu pada 2008, catatan terbaiknya selepas itu ialah 2.18m ketika meraih pingat emas Sukan Sea di Laos, Disember tahun lalu.

Mengenai Sukan Komanwel di New Delhi dan Sukan Asia di Guangzhou, kedua-dua pada penghujung tahun ini, Hup Wei berkata dia masih menunggu keputusan Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM) untuk mengatur kejohanan yang perlu disertainya sebelum layak ke kedua-dua temasya sukan itu.

Had kelayakan ke Sukan Asia ialah sekurang-kurangnya menduduki tempat ketiga di Doha 2006 dan bagi Sukan Komanwel, tempat keenam pada Sukan Komanwel Melbourne 2006.

Pada Sukan Asia Doha pada 2006, Hup Wei menduduki tangga kelapan dengan catatan 2.15m. Dia tidak menyertai Sukan Komanwel 2006 di Melbourne kerana kecederaan lutut. Hup Wei kini menjalani latihan bawah pengawasan jurulatih peribadinya, Alfaro, dari Cuba. - Bernama

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...

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 ...
