Program bakal berdepan masalah

BIARPUN memberi lampu hijau, Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Datuk Zolkples Embong mengingatkan Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM) bahawa program latihan atlet di Ranau Sabah bakal berdepan masalah.
Beliau yang sebelum ini berat hati untuk memberi kebenaran atas alasan lokasi dan kemudahan di Ranau belum lengkap berkata, ada atlet dilapor tidak bersedia mengikuti program itu.

“Saya tidak cakap tidak mahu meluluskan program itu, cuma apa yang saya persoal sebelum ini, adakah lokasi itu betul-betul memberi manafaat kepada atlet? “Keputusan ini bukan kerana MSN menyerah kalah, tapi 15 atlet yang terpilih dalam program itu benar-benar layak di bawah program MSN berbanding 60 hingga 70 atlet dalam cadangan awal mereka sebelum ini. Kami tidak mahu di kemudian hari akan dipersalahkan kerana tidak mahu membantu atlet.
“Tapi harus diingat, adakah semua atlet ini mahu menyertai program di Ranau? “Jika ada atlet yang tidak mahu pergi, KOAM tidak boleh menggantikan dengan atlet lain. Kami juga membenarkan lima jurulatih mengiringi atlet ke sana tapi KOAM kena fikir, setiap jurulatih mempunyai ramai atlet di bawah jagaan mereka, jika mereka ke sana, siapa yang mahu melatih atlet di MSN Bukit Jalil? “Masalah ini perlu diselesaikan KOAM, MSN hanya menyalurkan bantuan dari segi makan-minum atlet, penginapan dan pengangkutan,” katanya.

Mengikut perancangan KOAM, kesemua atlet terbabit akan memulakan latihan fasa pertama bermula bulan depan dan KOAM mengesahkan hampir 99 peratus atlet menyatakan persetujuan untuk menyertai latihan persiapan menghadapi Sukan Sea, Palembang, November ini.Bagaimanapun, sehingga kini, KOAM belum menyatakan tarikh sebenar permulaan program itu.

“Buat permulaan, MSN hanya meluluskan program ini selama sebulan dan jika atlet mempamerkan peningkatan, kami akan menyambung tempoh program. “Tapi sehingga kini, KOAM belum memberitahu tarikh program itu akan dimulakan. Kami mahu menguruskan tiket penerbangan atlet dan jurulatih, jika mereka benar-benar mahukan program ini, lakukanlah dengan segera, jangan tunggu saat akhir,” kata Zolkples.

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 ...
