Kita kempunan kejuaraan

KUALA LUMPUR - Pemain negara gagal mempamer prestasi memuaskan apabila gagal memenangi acara individu pada tiga aksi akhir kejohanan badminton Remaja Asia, semalam. Setelah kecewa akibat terlepas kejuaraan kepada China dalam acara berpasukan sebelum ini, pemain negara terus terkulai dalam acara individu.

Lebih malang, skuad negara yang sepatutnya mempunyai tiga wakil dalam perlawanan akhir individu, sebaliknya terpaksa menyertai dua acara sahaja.
Pasangan beregu campuran negara terpaksa menyerahkan kejuaraan tanpa beraksi setelah rakan Ow Yao Han, Lai Pei Jing tidak dapat turun ke gelanggang akibat kecederaan.

Ini memberikan kemenangan percuma buat lawan mereka dari China, Liu Cheng-Bao Yixin.

Dalam aksi akhir perseorangan lelaki, Loh Wei Sheng tersilap langkah apabila tunduk kepada pemain China, Huang Yuxiang.

Biarpun menang di set pertama 21-14, pemain kelahiran Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan itu kalah pada dua set seterusnya 17-21, 16-21.

Harapan melihat pasangan beregu lelaki Yew Hong Kheng-Ow Yao Han untuk mencipta kejuaraan juga kecewa.


Seolah-olah hilang tumpuan, beregu negara itu tewas 16-21 dan 14-21 kepada pasangan Korea, Kang Ji Wook-Choi Seung Il.

Tahun lalu, Hong Kheng-Yao Han menundukkan pasangan Korea itu pada peringkat separuh akhir.
Walaupun kalah, Wei Sheng, berpuas hati dengan persembahan pada aksi semalam.

Katanya, cuma kegagalan menggunakan peluang menyebabkan dia tunduk kepada pemain lawannya dari China.

"Pada set kedua, kami terikat 17-17, dan dia mula mendapat keyakinan dan mengubah rentak perlawanan menjadi semakin pantas.

"Namun, saya tetap berpuas hati dengan pencapaian pada kejohanan.

''Kini saya mahu menumpukan tumpuan perhatian pada kejohanan Remaja Dunia di Mexico, bulan depan,'' 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...

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...
