Aksi simulasi berjaya

PERLAWANAN simulasi bagi Kejohanan Piala Thomas dan Uber dianggap berjaya memberi pengalaman kepada pemain terutamanya buat mereka yang kali pertama beraksi di kejohanan badminton berpasukan paling berprestij di dunia itu.
Dalam perlawanan itu skuad Piala Thomas negara menang 4-1 ke atas pasukan B negara, manakala skuad Piala Uber menang 5-0 ke atas pasukan B.
Datuk Lee Chong Wei mudah menundukkan Liew Darren 21-11, 21-14, Wong Choong Hann mengatasi Tan Chun Seang 21-15, 21-15 dan Muhd Hafiz Hashim menewaskan Chan Kwong Beng 21-9, 21-17.

Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong pula dicabar sengit Ong Soon Hock-Hoon Thien How sebelum menang 21-16, 23-21.

Fairuzizuan Tazari-Zakry Latif pula ditewaskan Mak Hee Chun-Tan Wee Kiong 21-18, 15-21, 17-21.

Bagi ketua jurulatih beregu, Rexy Mainaky, kekalahan Fairuzizuan-Zakry bukan suatu yang membimbangkan kerana prestasi empat beregu negara itu agak setara.

“Kami sudah memilih Fairuzizuan-Zakry kerana mereka ada pengalaman di banyak kejohanan dan dalam Piala Thomas.

“Kekalahan malam ini (semalam) tidak bererti Hee Chun-Wee Kiong lebih baik daripada mereka kerana keempat beregu ini saling mengatasi antara satu sama lain. Tetapi pada peringkat antarabangsa, Fairuzizuan-Zakry lebih baik,” kata Rexy selepas perlawanan itu.


Dalam pada itu, skuad Piala Uber menang 5-0 ke atas pemain pelapis bagaimanapun mendapat perkhabaran buruk selepas Chin Eei Hui- Wong Pei Tty tidak diturunkan sebagai gandingan utama.

Sebaliknya, hanya Pei Tty diturunkan bergandingan dengan Lim Yin Loo kerana Eei Hui dikatakan mengalami kecederaan.


Bagaimanapun, Eei Hui kemudiannya berkata dia hanya mengalami sakit perut dan tidak dapat beraksi semalam, meredakan sedikit rasa bimbang selepas Lydia Cheah dan Julia Wong didapati mengalami kecederaan lutut sehingga memaksa Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) menghantar permohonan menukar pemain kepada Persekutuan Badminton Dunia (BWF).

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...

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 ...

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...
