'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...

KUALA TERENGGANU, May 29 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badaw i said the government always gives emphasis on cultivating a strong sporting culture in achieving excellence at the international level. As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9. Abdullah said he was aware that competition in sports was very keen and challenging but this did not mean that Malaysian athletes were incapable of competing at the international level. "The fact is that we have all the characteristics required to be excellent. We must inculcate a strong fighting spirit so that we don't easily surrender,...

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...
