Azizulhasni sandaran Malaysia


AZIZULHASNI akan menyertai tiga acara pada Kejohanan Lumba Basikal Asia (ACC) di Dubai, bulan depan.


JAGUH negara, Mohd. Azizulhasni Awang menjadi sandaran untuk meraih tiga emas pada Kejohanan Lumba Basikal Asia (ACC) di Dubai, Emiriyah Arab Bersatu (UAE) bermula 10 April depan.

Azizulhasni yang berjaya meraih pingat perak dalam acara pada Kejohanan Trek Dunia di Copenhagen, Denmark minggu lepas, akan menyertai tiga acara di UAE nanti.

"Selain mempertahankan dua emas yang dimenanginya dalam acara pecut 200 meter dan pecut berpasukan, Azizulhasni juga diharapkan akan menjuarai acara keirin di UAE," kata Presiden Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM), Abu Samah Wahab semalam.

Bagaimanapun, Abu Samah berkata, sekiranya sasaran tiga emas itu tidak tercapai, PKBM tidak menganggapnya sebagai satu kegagalan.

"Ini kerana, ACC pada tahun ini lebih dianggap sebagai persediaan untuk menghadapi dua temasya lebih besar pada tahun ini iaitu Sukan Komanwel dan Sukan Asia yang akan berlangsung hujung tahun ini.

"Ia juga merupakan peluang terbaik untuk menguji kekuatan lawan terutamanya pelumba-pelumba dari China yang dilihat banyak mempamerkan peningkatan sejak kebelakangan ini," katanya.


Selain Azizulhasni, cabaran skuad trek kebangsaan turut akan digalas oleh enam lagi pelumba iaitu Mohd. Rizal Tisin, Mohd. Edrus Yunus, Mohd. Hafiz Suffian, Mohd. Hariff Salleh, Amir Mustafa Rusli dan Mohd. Akmal Amrun.

"Kita juga mengharapkan Rizal akan dapat kembali kepada prestasi asal setelah berehat panjang akibat kemalangan jalan raya sebelum ini.

"Rizal bakal mempertahankan emas dalam acara pecut berpasukan bersama-sama Azizulhasni dan Hafiz selain beraksi dalam acara satu kilometer ujian masa," katanya.

Sementara itu, cabaran skuad lebuh raya pula diketuai oleh Raja Pecut Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) 2010, Anuar Manan bersama-sama Ahmad Haidar Anuawar, Adiq Husainie Othman, Mohd. Zamri Salleh, Mohd. Nur Ridzuan Zainal, Ahmad Fallanie Ali dan Ng Yong Li.

PKBM turut menghantar empat pelumba wanita iaitu Fatehah Mustapha, Norazian Alias, Nurul Akhmar Badeuzzaman dan Marina Mohamad.

Pada ACC 2009 yang berlangsung di Kalimantan, Indonesia, Malaysia memenangi dua pingat emas, dua pingat perak serta dua pingat gangsa.

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...
