Ranjau berliku

SUKAR buat perseorangan utama negara, Lee Chong Wei memburu kejuaraan di Siri Super Seluruh England 9-14 Mac depan apabila undian dikeluarkan, semalam bagaikan tidak menyebelahinya.
Chong Wei yang diletakkan sebagai pilihan pertama bakal berdepan cabaran Chetan Anand dari India, sebelum pemain Indonesia, Sony Dwi Kuncoro atau pemain muda China, Du Pengyu menanti di pusingan kedua.
Ranjau berliku terus menanti jaguh negara itu apabila pemain muda dan jaguh Denmark, Jan Jorgensen dan Peter Gade selain Taufik Hidayat, Simon Santoso (Indonesia) serta Chen Long (China) mungkin berada dalam laluannya ke separuh akhir.



Jika lepas, Chong Wei akan berdepan Lin Dan dari China yang juga pilihan kedua di perlawanan akhir.

Seorang lagi pemain negara, Muhd Hafiz Hashim akan berdepan pemain Taiwan yang pernah menewaskannya di Terbuka Malaysia, Januari lalu, Hsieh Yu Hsing di pusingan pertama sebelum Lin Dan yang juga juara Olimpik, menantinya di pusingan kedua.

Dalam kategori perseorangan wanita, Wong Mew Choo turut menerima ujian sukar seawal pusingan pertama apabila diundi menentang pilihan ketiga dari China, Jiang Yanjiao.

Pasangan utama negara, Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong yang juga pilihan utama kejohanan dan beregu nombor satu dunia akan diuji jaguh Denmark, Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen di pusingan awal, sebelum Ko Sung Hyun/Yoo Yeon Seong dari Korea Selatan menanti di pusingan kedua.

Bagaimanapun, laluan agak mudah buat beregu wanita, Wong Pei Tty/Chin Eei Hui apabila ujian sebenar hanya menanti mereka di separuh akhir apabila dijangka menentang pilihan utama China, Du Jing/Yu Yang.

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 ...

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.

Sports press clippings on the 24 April 2008

Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob (centre) speaks to athletes after giving away the Olympic qualifying incentives in Putrajaya yesterday. — Pic: RAMDZAN MASIAM Thomas Cup Equally Important, Says Ismail PUTRAJAYA, April 23 (Bernama) -- Although Malaysia want badly a badminton gold at the Beijing Olympics in August, winning the Thomas Cup in Jakarta in May is equally important, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob. "My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992. "Statements made that the Beijing Olympics takes precedence over other events is not the position of the ministry," he told reporters at his office here today. Ismail said no matter what events Malaysians competed, seeking glory for the nation should be the overriding priority. He said this when asked to comment on remarks by national badminton chief coach Yap Kim Hock on...
