Khalmizam tekad kembali cari 'sentuhan'


KHALMIZAM tidak dapat beraksi dalam Pertandingan Ujian Sukan Komanwel di New Delhi, India pada 7 sehingga 2 Mac depan.
Terima pengguguran kali kedua daripada pasukan negara secara positif

SEGALA kritikan prestasinya tidak menjadi 'kudis' buat pemanah Olimpik, Wan Mohd Khalmizam Wan Abd Aziz yang tekad memberi tumpuan satu persatu dalam kerjayanya bagi mengelak dia ditimpa aib.

Lantas, pengguguran kali kedua daripada senarai pasukan oleh jurulatih, Lee Jae-hyung menjelang aksi Pertandingan Ujian Sukan Komanwel di New Delhi, India pada 7 sehingga 2 Mac depan, diterima secara positif.

“Memang mental dan keyakinan diri saya belum bersedia sepenuhnya untuk menggalas cabaran negara di pentas antarabangsa. Kerana itu, keputusan jurulatih tidak menamakan saya ke India tiada memberi kesan kepada saya,” kata Wan Mohd Khalmizam.

“Dan tempoh ini adalah masa terbaik bagi memantapkan kembali prestasi. Saya kini masih berada di landasan sebenar untuk kembali menyerlah, mungkin lagi satu atau dua bulan.”

Pemanah berusia 24 tahun, kelahiran Kelantan itu turut mengorbankan pengajiannya di Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) pada semester ini bagi memberi tumpuan terhadap latihan, sekali gus mendapatkan kembali ‘sentuhan’.
Dan, penilaian awal terhadap prestasi peribadi pada sirkit memanah pertama Asia di Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Taman Keramat, baru-baru ini masih belum mampu menepati sasarannya.

“Saya akui ketika itu masih belum lagi bersedia, hanya 50 peratus daripada aksi sebenar yang saya pamerkan,” katanya yang tersingkir pada pusingan kedua acara recurve individu lelaki.

Namun, di sebalik kekecewaan prestasi pada kejohanan Asia sulung musim ini, masih ada berita gembira diraih apabila dapat mengenal pasti kelemahan yang perlu diperbaiki termasuk menyesuaikan diri dengan perubahan teknik panahan.

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 ...
