Tiada sasaran pingat di Komanwel - PHM

KUALA LUMPUR - Tiada sasaran pingat diletakkan pada Sukan Komanwel 2010 di New Delhi.
Itu kata skuad hoki kebangsaan. Namun, Malaysia tetap mahu melakukan yang terbaik pada temasya tersebut sebagai persedian untuk cemerlang pada Sukan Asia di Guangzhou pada November ini.

Timbalan Presiden Persekutuan Hoki Malaysia (PHM), Nur Azmi Ahmad berkata, Sukan Komanwel kali ini lebih kepada persediaan terbesar bagi pasukan negara kerana mereka bakal bertemu pasukan yang kuat seperti India, Pakistan dan Australia.

Menurut Nur Azmi, beliau juga yakin 16 pemain yang dipilih untuk beraksi di New Delhi mampu melakukan yang terbaik pada temasya itu.
''Kebanyakan yang kita pilih untuk ke Komanwel ini adalah yang terbaik dan kemungkinan mereka juga bakal beraksi di Guangzhou nanti.

''Kami tidak meletakkan apa-apa sasaran pingat pada Komanwel ini kerana matlamat utama kami adalah mahu memastikan skuad kita dapat melakukan yang terbaik di New Delhi sebagai persediaan untuk mendapatkan emas di Sukan Asia,'' katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini, semalam.


Kesemua mereka kini menjalani latihan dalam negara dan bakal menentang New Zealand pada perlawanan persediaan sebelum berangkat ke New Delhi.
Nur Azmi berkata, pada Sukan Asia, November ini pasukan kebangsaan perlu memberikan tumpuan kepada pasukan dari Korea dan China yang dijangka berada dalam satu kumpulan yang sama.

''Jika kita dapat mengatasi dua pasukan itu di peringkat kumpulan pasti peluang untuk pasukan kita mara ke peringkat separuh akhir dan akhir cerah.

''Saya tahu semua peminat hoki di negara ini mahu pasukan kita melakukan yang terbaik kami juga telah berazam untuk memastikan pasukan hoki kita dapat memperoleh keputusan yang jauh lebih baik daripada Sukan Asia yang terdahulu,'' ujarnya.

Nur Azmi juga mahu semua pemain skuad hoki kebangsaan dapat menutup kalendar 2010 dengan keputusan cemerlang hasil daripada usaha berterusan pihak PHM bagi memastikan pasukan negara gah di arena antarabangsa.

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 ...
