Misi baru Raja Pecut


ANUAR menunjukkan replika cek yang diterimanya pada majlis penyerahan insentif di Bukit Jalil semalam sempena kejayaan pada LTdL 2010.

SELEPAS tampil cemerlang pada Kejo- hanan Lumba Basikal Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) 2010 baru-baru ini, pelumba sensasi negara, Anuar Manan ada satu lagi misi penting.

Dengan reputasinya sebagai Raja Pecut LTdL 2010, Anuar sudah pasti mahu mengekalkan statusnya itu dengan memburu gelaran juara acara lebuh raya Ke- juaraan Berbasikal Asia (ACC) 2010 di Dubai pada 8 hingga 17 April depan.

"Sudah pasti saya mahu memenangi acara lebuh raya pada ACC di Dubai nanti dan itulah misi utama saya selepas ini," kata Anuar di Bukit Jalil semalam.


"Saya sedar misi ini bukan mudah untuk dilaksanakan dan pelumba Asia yang lain pasti memberi tumpuan terhadap saya pada saingan tersebut nanti.

"Begitupun, kejayaan saya pada LTdL baru-baru ini banyak menyuntikan semangat dan keyakinan dalam diri saya sendiri. Jadi saya rasa tiada yang musta- hil di Dubai nanti sekiranya saya menge- kalkan prestasi terbaik ketika ini," ujarnya lagi.

Menurut Anuar, sebagai persiapan beraksi pada ACC 2010, dia akan menyertai Jelajah Thailand yang akan bermula 1 hingga 6 April depan.

"Pada Jelajah Thailand nanti, saya tidak sasarkan untuk menang tetapi lebih kepada mengekalkan stamina.
"Saya tidak akan mengerah sepenuh tenaga di Thailand kerana mahu menyimpan tenaga pada ACC di Dubai yang berlangsung dua hari selepas itu," kata Anuar.

Pada LTdL 2010, Anuar mencipta sejarah tersendiri apabila menjuarai peringkat kelima dari Muar ke Port Dickson selain meraih gelaran Raja Pecut (Jersi Hijau) dengan mengumpul 103 mata sepanjang tujuh peringkat saingan itu.

Hasil kejayaannya pada LTdL 2010, pelumba berusia 24 tahun itu menerima ganjaran berjumlah RM10,000 daripada tiga organisasi pada majlis penyampaian insentif di Bukit Jalil semalam.

Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM) menyumbang sebanyak RM5,000, Kencana Resources Sdn. Bhd. (RM3,000) dan Genting Malaysia Berhad (RM2,000).

"Saya berterima kasih di atas segala penghargaan yang diberikan kepada saya ini. Nampaknya segala usaha keras saya selama ini ada ganjarannya," jelas Anuar.

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...

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...
