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.

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 ...
