Negara bakal ketandusan bakat olahraga

ADAKAH negara bakal menghadapi masa depan gelap dalam sukan olahraga?

Mungkin itulah persoalan yang bermain di benak pegawai sukan itu berdasarkan hanya tujuh rekod baru dicipta pada kejohanan Balapan dan Padang Majlis Sukan Sekolah-Sekolah Malaysia (MSSM) ke-53 yang berakhir di Ipoh, kelmarin.

Lebih membimbangkan, tiada sebarang catatan baru dilakukan peserta kategori 18 tahun lelaki mahupun perempuan, sebaliknya semua rekod baru kejohanan dicipta peserta kategori 12 dan 15 tahun.

Daripada tujuh rekod baru, hanya satu rekod dicipta peserta lelaki iaitu atlit Kedah, Ku Azmir Syazwan Ku Sharif dalam acara 400 meter.

Faktor cuaca berikutan hujan saban petang mungkin dijadikan alasan berbanding 16 catatan rekod baru pada temasya di Johor Bahru, tahun lalu.

Justeru Majlis Sukan Sekolah Sekolah Malaysia (MSSM) harus melakukan bedah siasat segera untuk mencari punca mengapa atlit 18 tahun yang dilihat sebagai pengganti kepada atlit negara ketika ini, gagal menyinar atau Malaysia perlu menunggu lama sehingga Ku Azmir serta enam atlit perempuan yang ketika ini berusia 11-14 tahun mengisi tempat atlit kebangsaan ketika ini.

Sarawak memaparkan kehebatan untuk muncul juara buat kali ke-15 dengan himpunan 21 emas, 17 perak dan 15 gangsa dan berdasarkan prestasi atlit muda negeri itu, mereka dijangka mampu mengulangi kejayaan pada temasya ke-54 di Kangar, tahun depan.
Persoalannya, negeri mana pula yang mampu mencabar dominasi kontinjen Bumi Kenyalang itu?

Apapun edisi ke-53 pasti dikenang sebagai penganjuran terbaik oleh Jabatan Pelajaran Negeri (JPN) Perak terutama majlis perasmian yang berwarna-warni terutama persembahan cahaya 1Malaysia oleh hampir 10,000 murid sekolah.

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 ...
