'Tak logik ke Ranau'

“BERLATIH di Pusat Latihan Ranau satu tindakan yang tidak logik,” itulah yang ditegaskan oleh atlet 400 meter lari berpagar wanita negara, Noraseela Khalid.
Bagi atlet senior yang juga pemegang rekod kebangsaan acara itu menegaskan, tiada gunanya dia ke Ranau kerana kemudahan di Kompleks Sukan Bukit Jalil sudah mencukupi terutama dengan adanya trek baru yang dinaikkan taraf.

“Mengapa saya perlu ke sana. Ia tetap sama kerana saya masih juga tidak mempunyai jurulatih.
“Jika keluar, lebih baik saya ke Afrika Selatan. Di sana lebih banyak pertandingan dan saya juga mempunyai jurulatih. Bagi saya latihan di Bukit Jalil sudah mencukupi kerana semuanya ada di sana.

“Namun, apa yang cuba dirangka oleh KOAM (Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia) dengan membawa keluar atlet ke luar bertujuan membolehkan atlet lebih fokus dan mengelak berlakunya masalah disiplin.

“Itu masalah atlet. Bagaimana mahu bertaraf dunia jika mempunyai perangai seperti itu. Atlet sendiri kena fikir,” katanya.

Trek baru di Bukit Jalil sudah cukup menjadikan Bukit Jalil lokasi latihan terbaik buat atlet dalam persediaan memastikan tahun 2011 lebih cemerlang ketika dilaporkan pusat latihan Ranau belum siap sepenuhnya terutama kemudahan gimnasium.

Seela mencatatkan 56.02 saat untuk rekod kebangsaan, serta pingat gangsa Sukan Asia 2006 di Doha, dan dua gelaran Sukan Sea 1999 dan 2003. Seela, 31, semakin mendapati dirinya berdepan pelbagai rintangan dalam usaha kembali menapak dalam acara 400m berpagar wanita.
Dia bagaimanapun masih bergelar atlet terbaik negara ketika ini kerana belum ada atlet yang mampu memberikan cabaran.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

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 ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
