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...

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 ...
