Hasli Izwan gagal layak awal Olimpik 2012

KUALA LUMPUR - Sekalipun memperbaiki catatannya berbanding peringkat satu, harapan penembak negara Hasli Izwan Amir Hassan (gambar) untuk layak lebih awal ke Olimpik 2012 tidak kesampaian apabila hanya mampu mengakhiri saingan acara Rapid Fire Pistol di tempat ke-13 pada kejohanan Menembak Piala Dunia di Sydney, Australia semalam.

Memulakan peringkat kedua pada ranking ke-10 semalam, dia masih ada harapan untuk layak seandainya berjaya melonjakkan diri ke tiga tempat teratas.
Malangnya, bidikan kurang menyerlah iaitu hanya 95 mata pada pusingan pertama menjadi penyebab kegagalannya.

Meskipun bangkit memperbaiki catatan 97 dan 98 pada pusingan kedua dan ketiga untuk mengumpul 290, menjadikan mata terkumpul keseluruhan 579 (dicampur dengan 289 kelmarin).
Namun ia tidak memadai untuk menempatkan selaku enam penembak terbaik.

Enam penembak terbaik layak ke akhir bagi menentukan kedudukan satu, dua dan tiga.
Penembak Republik Czech, Martin Podhrasky Martin muncul juara acara tersebut, diikuti naib juara Viatcheslav Kalioujnyi dari Rusia, tempat ketiga jatuh kepada juara dunia lima kali dari Jerman, Ralf Schumann.

Seorang lagi penembak negara iaitu Hafiz Adzha turut menjunam dari kedudukan ke-22 ke ke-31 selepas dikecewakan sekali lagi dengan bidikan hambar pada pusingan ketiga.
Dia mencatatkan kombinasi mata 96-95-86 dan mengutip 561 mata keseluruhan.

Piala Dunia siri kedua yang berlangsung di Pusat Menembak Antarabangsa Sydney hanya akan menutup tirai esok tetapi baki acara tidak melibatkan wakil negara.
Ini bermakna, sembilan penembak negara yang bertanding kempunan menempah slot awal ke Olimpik London tahun depan.

Namun mereka tidak perlu gusar kerana akan menyertai dua lagi pusingan iaitu di Changwon, Korea Selatan (ketiga, 11-19 April) dan Munich, Jerman (keenam, 16-23 Jun).
Peluang terakhir untuk layak secara merit adalah menerusi Kejohanan Menembak Asia di Doha, Qatar 11-22 Januari tahun depan.

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.

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...
