Cipta sejarah selaku atlit pertama lakar jarak 17.18m acara lontar peluru

ADI Aliffudin Hussin (gambar) memecahkan rekod kebangsaan lontar peluru serta memahatkan dirinya dalam sejarah selaku atlit pertama melepasi tembok 17 meter apabila melakarkan jarak 17.18 meter pada kejohanan olahraga Terbuka Taiwan, yang berakhir kelmarin yang turut menyaksikan ratu baling tukul besi, Tan Song Hwa mencatat rekod baru.

Dalam saingan dibarisi atlit terbaik dunia, Adi, 22, yang menduduki tempat kelima dengan jarak itu, memadamkan rekod lama 16.92m dilakukan ketika memenangi perak di Sukan Sea XXV di Vientiane, Disember tahun lalu.

Jurulatihnya, yang juga bekas pemegang rekod kebangsaan acara itu, Mohd Nazar Abdul Rahim, terkejut dengan catatan cemerlang anak didiknya itu.

“Saya hanya mensasarkan Adi melakukan sekitar 16.90 meter sebelum cuba melepasi jarak 17 meter di Sukma (Sukan Malaysia) di Melaka bulan depan,” kata Nazar, semalam. “Tetapi dia buat lebih awal dan saya cukup gembira dengan pencapaiannya itu.

“Saya berharap dia dapat meningkatkan lagi jarak itu apabila bertanding di Sukma,” katanya, yang sedikit kecewa kerana catatan itu masih jauh daripada mengatasi syarat kelayakan ke Sukan Asia dan juga Sukan Komanwel.

Song Hwa pula, membaling tukul besinya sejauh 57.55m bagi tempat pertama dan juga rekod baru kebangsaan, mengatasi catatan lamanya 56.41m juga dilakukan di Vientienne.
Turut cemerlang pelari 110m berpagar, Rayzam Shah Wan Sofian, yang mencatat kepantasan peribadi terbaik musim ini 14.02m untuk memenangi pingat emas. Ia juga menampakkan pelari Sabah itu sudah kembali menemui rentaknya yang begitu sumbang sepanjang musim lalu.

Malaysia turut meraih emas acara 4x400m lelaki apabila kuartet Amir Fakhri Mohd Ismail, Muhamad Idris Zakaria, Mohd Jironi Riduan dan Mohd Zaiful Zainal Abidin mencatat tiga minit 16.64 saat manakala Zaiful turut meraih perak acara 400m (48.02s) begitu juga Jironi dalam 800m, Muhammad Hakimi Ismail (lompat kijang) dan Yap Jeng Tzen lempar cakera wanita dengan jarak 43.98m.

Jaguh Sukan Sea dan pemegang rekod kebangsaan acara wanita, Roslinda Samsu hampa apabila gagal melepasi ketinggian 3.80m dalam ketiga-tiga percubaan manakala dalam acara sama kategori lelaki, Mohd Hafizuddin Sahadan kecundang dalam ketinggian permulaan, 4.40m

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...
