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.

ā€œMemang 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,ā€ kata Wan Mohd Khalmizam.

ā€œDan 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.ā€

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 ā€˜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.

ā€œSaya akui ketika itu masih belum lagi bersedia, hanya 50 peratus daripada aksi sebenar yang saya pamerkan,ā€ 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.

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...

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...
