Henjutan McCann sukar dicabar


MALCOM mengangkat kedua-dua belah tangannya sebaik sahaja melintasi garisan penamat pada perlumbaan peringkat ketiga JM2010 dari Taiping ke Auto City, Juru semalam.


SEPERTI diramal, pelumba Giant Asia Racing, David McCann terus mempertahankan Jersi Kuning selepas berakhirnya peringkat ketiga Kejohanan Lumba Basikal Jelajah Malaysia (JM) 2010 dari Taiping ke ke Auto City, Juru semalam.

McCann yang memenangi Jersi Kuning keseluruhan pada Kejohanan Lumba Basikal Piala Gabenor Melaka 2010 minggu lepas, mengekalkan kayuhan cemerlangnya pada saingan sejauh 126.1 kilometer semalam dengan melepasi garisan penamat dalam peloton pertama.

Pelumba sensasi Ireland itu mengekalkan kedudukan sebagai pendahulu keseluruhan dengan catatan masa 12 jam, 08 minit dan 41 saat, 20 saat mengatasi pencabar terdekatnya, Takumi Beppu daripada Aisan Racing .
Menurut McCann, walaupun perlumbaan semalam meliputi jarak yang tidak begitu jauh berbanding dua peringkat terdahulu, namun dia lebih cenderung untuk menyimpan tenaga bagi menghadapi dua lagi saingan yang dilihat lebih mencabar pada hari ini dan esok.

"Perlumbaan hari ini sangat berbahaya kerana ramai pelumba yang membuat breakaway dan cuba mengatasi satu sama lain," kata McCann pada sidang akhbar semalam.


"Oleh itu saya hanya perlu berhati-hati selain memastikan saya tidak mengerah terlalu banyak tenaga kerana masih ada dua peringkat lagi selepas ini."

Pada saingan peringkat ketiga semalam, pelumba Medscheme, Lange Malcom muncul juara dengan catatan masa 2 jam, 59 minit dan 02 saat, sekali gus merampas Jersi Hijau bagi gelaran Raja Pecut daripada pelumba kebangsaan, Amir Mustafa Rusli.

Pelumba Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM), Mohd. Zamri Salleh muncul pelumba terbaik negara semalam apabila menduduki tempat ketiga di belakang McCann dan seorang lagi pelumba Medscheme, Arran Brown.
Jersi Merah Raja Bukit pula kekal menjadi milik pelumba Polygon Sweet Nice dari Indonesia, Matnur yang mengumpul lapan mata.

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 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...
