Naim sokong atlet fokus Olimpik London

TIMBALAN Presiden Persekutuan Berbasikal Kebangsaan Malaysia (PKBM), Datuk Naim Mohamad menyokong penuh saranan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery agar barisan atlet berbasikal negara memberi tumpuan khusus dalam Program Road to London berbanding penyertaan di Sukan Sea, Indonesia hujung tahun ini.
Berbasikal yang kini menjadi fokus utama program itu untuk menghasilkan emas pertama temasya terbesar dunia Olimpik, London 2012 selain badminton menambah dua nama lagi untuk menjadikan senarai pelumba yang berada dalam program itu menjadi enam.

Justeru, jika sebarang pertandingan tidak mendatang kepentingan kepada pelumba memang wajar Sukan Sea diketepikan untuk memberi perhatian lebih khusus kepada persediaan menghadapi Sukan Olimpik.
Naim berkata, pelumba negara kini dalam kelas tersendiri dan kemampuan Azizulhasni Awang, Rizal Tisin dan Josiah Ng di peringkat dunia sudah teruji.

“PKBM menyokong saranan Shabery. Fokus utama adalah Olimpik dan tiada acara atau pertandingan lain boleh menghalang merealisasikan impian itu.

“Sukan Sea akan menjadi medan terbaik buat pelumba muda dan pelapis dan perkara itu sudah dipersetujui PKBM. Ia menjadi batu loncatan buat atlet muda beraksi di kejohanan lebih tinggi selepas itu. “Biarlah barisan senior memberi tumpuan terhadap tanggungjawab meraih emas pertama di Olimpik dan kejohanan lain diserahkan kepada pelumba muda,” katanya.

Konflik penyertaan itu mula timbul apabila kelompok pelumba elit dijadual beraksi di Kejohanan Piala Dunia Klasik siri pertama di Australia dan selepas itu menyertai siri kedua yang berlangsung di Cali, Colombia ketika Sukan Sea berlangsung. Kedua-dua pertandingan itu menawarkan mata berharga untuk melayakkan diri beraksi di Olimpik.

“Disebabkan itu barisan elit ini sudah pasti tidak disenaraikan di Sukan Sea.” Tanpa kehadiran pelumba elit, ia membuka peluang kepada negara lain memberikan saingan kerana jika tidak mudah buat pelumba negara merangkul emas.” Terdahulu, PKBM melahirkan rasa gembira apabila Adiq Husainie Othman dan Fatehah Mustapha disenaraikan dalam program Road to London menyertai Azizulhasni, Josiah, Rizal dan Muhammad Edrus.

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 ...
