Bowling: Rest Of The World Team Once Again Beat Malaysian Bowlers

PETALING JAYA, May 29 (Bernama) -- The Rest of the World (ROW) team once again showed their mettle by defeating a Malaysian selection 3-2 in the Canon Cup 2011 at the Sunway Mega Lanes in Bandar Sunway, here today.

For their feat, the ROW team pocketed RM30,000 while the Malaysian team as runner-up took home RM15,000.

The Canon Cup is a part of the Canon Malaysian International Open Bowling Championship.

"We certainly could have done better and even wrested the Cup. There were some poor performances and it was an eye opener for them, especially competing against an international field.

"Mistakes have been translated to a defeat. Besides, the Canon Cup competition is considered a friendly competition and is not so intense," said head coach, Holloway Cheah.

The ROW team comprised Wang Zhi Young (China), Khalid Al Dubyyan (Kuwait), Lara Posadas (Philippines) and Kelly Kulick (United States) while Malaysia was represented by Muhammad Nur Aiman Muhammad Khairudin, Zandra Aziela Ibrahim Hakimi, Muhd Syafiq Ridhwan Abdul Malek, Sin Lin Jane and Chong Jun Foo.

Meanwhile, Muhammad Nur Aiman, the newly crowned as champion of the Malaysian International Open men's category, sent the large crowd roaring at the bowling arena when he once again ousted Yannaphon, 200-174.

Yesterday, he defeated Yannaphon in the finals of the 2011 Malaysian International Open to claim his first Open title.

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...

KBS realistik

TERUJA...Shabery (dua dari kanan) melancarkan Logo Tahun Industri Sukan 2011-2012 di Casa 1, MSN, semalam.    KETIKA beberapa sukan utama diletakkan sasaran meraih pingat khususnya emas di Sukan Olimpik 2012 London, penyertaan bola sepak dan hoki sebagai keluarga baru program Road To London pula dilihat sekadar membantu mereka melepasi kelayakan. Mungkin bersikap lebih realistik dengan keupayaan kedua-dua sukan itu di pentas lebih tinggi, Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek mahu segala bantuan diberikan kepada sejumlah 50 pemain bola sepak dan hoki kebangsaan bagi membolehkan mereka tersenarai sebagai kontinjen ke London. “Bagi acara hoki dan bola sepak, kita tidak boleh melihat bantuan perlu diberi selepas mereka layak tetapi kita akan cuba bantu mereka supaya mereka layak. “Tiada kompromi terhadap misi mendapatkan emas pertama tetapi sasaran kita tahun ini ialah mendapatkan seberapa ramai atlet ke Sukan Olimpik,” katanya selepas mempen...
