Rabie Rangkul Gelaran Peringkat Kedua Jelajah Malaysia 2010

TAIPING, 28 April (Bernama) -- Pelumba pasukan Medscheme, Johann Rabie, muncul juara peringkat kedua Jelajah Malaysia 2010 dari Teluk Batik ke Taiping di sini Rabu.

Pelumba Afrika Selatan berusia 23 tahun itu menamatkan perlumbaan sejauh 205.2km itu dengan mencatat masa empat jam 49 minit dan 51 saat dengan melepasi garisan penamat dengan kelebihan tipis 0.03 saat.

Beliau dicabar sengit pada peringkat akhir perlumbaan oleh pelumba Ireland, David McCann dari pasukan Giant Asia Racing Team yang terpaksa mengakhiri saingan di tempat kedua.

Pelumba Australia, Mark O'Brien dari pasukan Le Tua, menduduki tempat ketiga dengan catatan masa 4:50:05s.

Tiga pelumba tempatan menduduki dalam kelompok 10 pelumba terbaik dengan pelumba Terengganu Yusrizal Yusof di tempat kelima diikuti pelumba negara Amir Mustafa Rusli dan tempat ke-10 milik pelumba Le Tua, Adrian Chuah Wye Kit.

"Saya gembira dengan keputusan ini seperti dirancang. Terdapat tujuh pelumba di hadapan saya dan saya berpeluang melepasi diri dari kelompok itu," kata Rabie kepada pemberita selepas perlumbaan itu.

Selepas peringkat kedua, McCann merampas jersi kuning selaku pendahulu keseluruhan daripada pelumba Angkatan Tentera, Mohd Shahrul Mat Amin.

"Kejayaan merampas jersi kuning adalah baik pada hari ini. Saingan untuk mengekalkan jersi kuning belum muktamad sehingga jelajah berakhir.

"Jarak perlumbaan esok dan lusa adalah pendek dan berharap pasukan akan bekerja keras pada peringkat akhir," kata McCann.

Pelumba negara Amir Mustafa Rusli memenangi tiga jersi iaitu jersi hijau, selaku pendahulu kategori raja pecut, jersi putih (individu Asean) dan jersi biru, selaku pelumba Malaysia terbaik.

"Kami telah melakukan apa yang terbaik dan mungkin ada beberapa kesilapan yang harap dapat diatasi pada peringkat seterusnya," kata Amir Mustafa.

Pelumba Indonesia, Matnur dari pasukan Polygon Sweet Nice, mendapat jersi merah apabila mendahului kategori Raja Bukit dengan mengumpul lapan mata.

Dalam kategori berpasukan, Le Tua mendahului dengan catatan masa terkumpul 27 jam 40 minit dan 34 saat.

Peringkat ketiga esok akan bermula dari Taiping ke Juru Auto City di Pulau Pinang sejauh 126.1km.

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 ...
