JAGUH badminton negara, Datuk Lee Chong Wei (gambar) meraih kejuaraan Terbuka Indonesia buat kali kedua berturut-turut di Stadium Istora Senayan semalam.


Pemain No. 1 dunia itu menewaskan pemain tuan rumah, Taufik Hidayat 21-19, 21-8 dalam permainan yang mengambil masa 37 minit sahaja.

Ini merupakan kejuaraan keempat Chong Wei tahun ini selepas terlebih dahulu menjuarai Terbuka Korea Selatan, Malaysia dan juga Seluruh England.

Malah kemenangan Chong Wei ke atas Taufik semalam mengulangi kejayaan sama tahun lepas.

Taufik yang juga pemenang pingat emas Sukan Olimpik Athens 2004, berjaya memberikan tentangan hebat pada set pertama tetapi selepas kedudukan terikat 4-4 dalam set kedua, Chong Wei terus mendahului sehingga ke mata penamat.

Untuk rekod, Chong Wei menang lapan daripada 13 pertemuan dengan Taufik sebelum ini.
Dalam pada itu, pemain India, Saina Nehwal muncul juara bagi acara perseorangan wanita.
Saina yang juga juara Terbuka India dan Terbuka Singa- pura, menewaskan pemain Jepun, Sayaka Sato 21-19, 13-21, 21-11.

Acara beregu lelaki pula menjadi milik pasangan Taiwan, Chieh Min Fang-Sheng Mu Lee yang menewaskan beregu Korea Selatan, Cho Gun- woo/Kwon Yi-goo 21-16, 21-15.

Begitupun, kekecewaan Korea Selatan ditebus oleh beregu wanita Kim Min-jung/ Lee Hyo-jung yang muncul juara selepas menewaskan beregu Taiwan, Wen Hsing Cheng/Yu Chin Chien 21-12, 12-21, 21-11.

Bagi acara beregu campuran pula, pasangan Poland, Robert Mateusiak/Nadiezda Zieba menewaskan gandingan Hendra Setiawan (Indonesia) dan Anastasia Russkikh dari Rusia 21-18, 22-20.

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.

Sports press clippings on the 24 April 2008

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...
