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.

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 ...
