Acara berpasukan wanita sumbang pingat ketiga kontinjen negara

GANGSA menutup tirai pungutan pingat kontinjen negara di Sukan Universiti Dunia (Universiade) 2011 Shenzhen menerusi acara terjun berpasukan wanita, semalam.

Selepas cemerlang menghadiahkan perak dan gangsa sebelum ini, catatan dikumpul kesemua penerjun wanita negara 2336.23 cukup bermakna sekalipun China gah meraih emas diikuti Amerika Syarikat (perak).
Sekalipun gandingan Leong Mun Yee dan Ng Yan Yee menamatkan acara semalam di kedudukan kelima 3 meter papan anjal seirama, catatan 272.40 mereka memadai buat skuad terjun menggapai satu lagi pingat di Universiade.
Catatan mereka dibantu dengan pencapaian semua acara 1 dan 3 meter papan anjal serta 10 meter platform individu dan seirama yang turut disumbang Cheong Jun Hoong dan Pandelela Rinong.

Jurulatih negara, Yang Zhu Liang berkata, ini kali pertama penerjun di bawah bimbingannya beraksi dalam acara berpasukan, jadi gangsa itu dianggap satu pencapaian yang bagus.

“Saya pada mulanya tidak mengetahui ada acara berpasukan sehingga hari pertama pertandingan, jadi saya mengubah strategi dengan menyenaraikan Mun Yee dalam dua acara tambahan 10 meter.

“Kita sebenarnya berpeluang mencatat sesuatu yang lebih baik tetapi mungkin tuah tidak memihak kita terutama menerusi Pandelela (Rinong),” katanya.
Zhu Liang berkata, prestasi yang ditampilkan semua penerjun termasuk yang baru diberi pendedahan seperti Pardika (Indoma Pamg) cukup membanggakan.

Dalam pada itu, Mun Yee yang mentafsirkan pencapaian di Universiade Shenzhen sebagai yang terbaik baginya selepas dua percubaannya sebelum ini gagal.

“Secara keseluruhan, persembahan di Universiade kali ini memuaskan meskipun saya perlu menambah dua acara, selain kurang menjalani latihan,” kata Mun Yee yang pulang dengan tangan kosong di Turki 2005 dan Korea Selatan 2003.

Pengurus pasukan, Mohd Hanif Mohamad berkata, skuad negara menunjukkan tahap profesional yang tinggi dengan budaya menguruskan diri mantap hingga menjadikan mereka satu-satunya skuad yang menghadiahkan pingat buat negara.

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...

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.

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...
