Atlet muda unggul


AHMAD SHABERY melancarkan majlis Detik 100 hari menjelang Sukan Komanwel dan Sukan Asia 2010 di Bukit Jalil semalam.


KEJAYAAN atlet-atlet program Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) meraih 279 pingat emas daripada 434 emas ditawarkan pada Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) XIII di Melaka membukti- kan Malaysia tidak ketandusan atlet muda berwibawa.

Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek berkata, dari- pada 279 pingat emas itu, 87 diraih atlet pelapis kebangsaan, sementara 192 dimiliki atlet elit.

"Jumlah keseluruhan atlet pelapis dan elit di bawah program Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) yang beraksi pada Sukma Melaka ialah 1,723 dari- pada 6,500 keseluruhan atlet yang mengambil bahagian.

"Sebanyak 14 rekod kebangsaan dan 87 rekod Sukma berjaya dipecah- kan di Melaka dan kesemua rekod-rekod ini dicatatkan oleh atlet Program Pelapis dan Elit MSN," katanya semalam.

Terdahulu, Ahmad Shabery melancarkan majlis Detik 100 hari menjelang Sukan Komanwel 2010 yang akan berlangsung di New Delhi, India (3 hingga 14 Oktober) dan Sukan Asia 2010 di Guangzhou, China dari 13 hingga 21 November.

Beliau berkata, kejayaan Sukma XIII yang berlangsung dari 10 Jun dan berakhir Sabtu lepas, meletakkan tanda aras baru daripada segi rekod kebangsaan dan rekod temasya yang berjaya dipecahkan.

Pada edisi 2002 di Sabah, hanya tujuh rekod kebangsaan dan 62 rekod Sukma dipecahkan dan di Negeri Sembilan pada 2004, sebanyak sembilan rekod kebangsaan dan 49 rekod temasya dipecahkan.

Edisi 2006 di Kedah menyaksikan hanya dua rekod kebangsaan dan 38 rekod Sukma dipecahkan dan di Terengganu, dua tahun lalu, tujuh rekod kebangsaan dan 54 rekod temasya dipecahkan.

"Berdasarkan statistik, program yang telah dijalankan oleh MSN tampak berada di landasan yang betul. Malaysia dijangka tidak bermasalah untuk mencari pelapis yang boleh diketengahkan ke peringkat antarabangsa," katanya.

Dari segi pungutan pingat antara negeri-negeri, Ahmad Shabery berkata, kutipan pingat Sukma XIII dilihat lebih seimbang dan tidak didominasi negeri tertentu manakala prestasi atlet di negeri-negeri sema- kin meningkat dan saingan ini baik bagi masa depan sukan negara.

Ahmad Shabery memberi contoh Terengganu yang berjaya mempertahankan kejuaraan di Melaka. Walaupun kekal juara, Terengganu hanya memungut 47 emas sahaja berbanding 61 emas semasa menjadi tuan rumah temasya 2008.

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...
