Mun Yee ceria Pandelela pulih

WAJAH penerjun wanita negara, Leong Mun Yee jelas membayangkan betapa cerianya selepas mendapat tahu gandingannya, Pandelela Rinong semakin pulih daripada kecederaan belakang dialaminya.
Melalui pemeriksaan dijalankan di Institut Sukan Negara (ISN) semalam, mendapati penerjun kelahiran Sarawak itu boleh meneruskan saingan termasuk Siri Super di China bulan depan. “Memang itulah saya harapkan kerana selama ini, hanya dialah gandingan paling sesuai dengan saya.

Setakat ini, saya tidak pernah digandingkan dengan penerjun lain selain dia. “Kami bakal menjalani latihan seperti biasa walaupun jadual latihan antara kami tidak selari memandangkan saya terikat dengan pembelajaran,” kata penuntut Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). Mun Yee/Pandelela digandingkan dalam acara 10m platform berirama mencipta kejutan ketika Grand Prix di Rome, Itali tahun lalu untuk mengutip gangsa dan kecemerlangan mereka terus berulang ketika Sukan Sea Laos, hujung tahun lalu dalam acara sama untuk meraih emas. Sebelum ini, Pandelela berganding bersama Cheong Jun Hong dalam acara sama di Korat, Thailand dua tahun lalu dan memenangi emas namun, gandingan itu 'dipisahkan' bagi memberi laluan kepada penerjun berpengalaman, Mun Yee beraksi dalam acara itu. Bagi Pandelela, berita itu memang dinanti-nantikan kerana dia sendiri risau sama ada dapat beraksi atau sebaliknya. “Pemeriksaan mendapati, kecederaan belakang saya semakin pulih.

Doktor yang membuat pemeriksaan menjelaskan semuanya OK. “Ini bermakna, penantian saya sudah berakhir.


Jika sebelum ini, memang ada kesakitan apatah lagi banyak kejohanan bakal disertai dalam tempoh terdekat ini,” katanya.

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...
