MOM Yakin Peroleh Pingat Dari Acara Terjun

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 Jun (Bernama) -- Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) yakin atlet terjun negara Pandalela Renong berupaya meraih pingat pada Temasya Olimpik Remaja 2010 di Singapura yang akan berlangsung Ogos ini.

Setiausaha Kerhormat MOM Datuk Sieh Kok Chi berkata keyakinan itu berasaskan pencapaian Pandalela sebelum ini selain pernah beraksi di Sukan Olimpik Beijing pada 2008.

"MOM mempunyai sasaran tersendiri dan sekiranya negara China tidak menghantar barisan atlet terjun terbaiknya kita mempunyai peluang cerah untuk meraih pingat di Singapura nanti," katanya ketika dihubungi Bernama pada hari Selasa.

Tahun lepas, Pandalela meraih tempat ketiga dalam acara 10 meter terjun berirama berkumpulan pada Kejohanan Siri Dunia Persekutuan Renang Antarabangsa (FINA) yang berlangsung di Rom.

Selain itu, MOM katanya turut meletakkan harapan kepada atlet lompat tinggi Navin Raj Subramaniam untuk membawa pulang pingat bagi Malaysia.

Harapan itu bersandarkan kepada catatan terbaik Navin pada 2.09 meter yang dibuatnya sebelum ini, kata Sieh.

Beliau berkata secara keseluruhannya MOM mensasarkan tiga pingat tanpa mengira warna pada temasya tersebut.

"MOM akan menghantar seramai 13 atlet yang akan mengambil bahagian dalam acara renang, terjun, angkat berat, badminton, gimnastik berirama, olahraga dan pelayaran," katanya.

Antara atlet berkenaan ialah Lai Wei Li, Ooi Tze Liang (Renang), Fatin Atikah Osman (Angkat berat), Sonia Cheah Su Ya, Lee Wan Nin (Badminton), Mohd Ajmal Aiman Mat Hassan, Mohd Fahme Zamzam Mehamed, Mohd Amirul Shafiq Mohd Jais (Olahraga) dan Khairuneeta Mohd Afendy (Pelayaran).

Sieh bagaimanapun menegaskan temasya itu tidak boleh dijadikan ukuran dalam menilai keupayaan peserta memandangkan tidak semua atlet terbaik dunia akan mengambil bahagian.

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 ...
