Yakin layak London

BEKAS pemanah wanita tunggal negara yang pernah layak ke Sukan Olimpik, Mon Redee Sut Txi turut menaruh keyakinan terhadap Nurul Syafiqah Hashim atau Shahira Abd Halim untuk mengikut jejak langkahnya beraksi di pentas sukan terbesar dunia itu.

Namun bekas pemanah berusia 29 tahun itu menegaskan sasaran terbabit yang diletakkan oleh ketua jurulatih negara, Lee Jae-hyung bukanlah sesuatu yang mudah dicapai ketika Kejohanan Asia dilihat medan lebih senang untuk melayakkan di ke Sukan Olimpik 2012.

“Mereka perlu bekerja lebih keras kerana setiap pemanah mampu melakukan kutipan mata tinggi. Apa yang penting adalah usaha dan kerja keras diri sendiri ketika beraksi.
“Saya pernah menyaksikan mereka bersaing pada sirkit kebangsaan di Kedah pada bulan lalu dan mereka mempunyai potensi untuk diketengahkan ke peringkat lebih tinggi,” katanya yang kini menjadi jurulatih memanah di Universiti Teknologi Mara, Jengka, Pahang.

Menurutnya, untuk mencipta kejayaan, Nurul Syafiqah dan Shahira perlu melipat gandakan usaha kerana jurulatih hanya boleh memberikan pandangan, teknik dan taktik untuk membantu meningkatkan prestasi mereka dengan selebihnya bergantung kepada diri sendiri. “Untuk menjadi terbaik, segala-gala yang mereka lakukan perlu lebih daripada orang lain. Jika pemanah lain melakukan 400 panahan sehari, mereka sekurang-kurangnya melakukan 600 sehari bagi mencapai tahap konsisten tinggi,” katanya.

Jae-hyung semalam menyandarkan harapan kepada Nurul Syafiqah dan Shahira untuk merebut salah satu daripada tiga tempat dalam kategori individu yang ditawarkan pada Kejohanan Asia di Tehran, Iran dari 18 hingga 24 Oktober ini.


Untuk rekod, Mon turut melayakkan diri ke Sukan Olimpik 2004 di Greece menerusi Kejohanan Asia yang berlangsung di Myanmar pada 2003.

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...

Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob (centre) speaks to athletes after giving away the Olympic qualifying incentives in Putrajaya yesterday. — Pic: RAMDZAN MASIAM Thomas Cup Equally Important, Says Ismail PUTRAJAYA, April 23 (Bernama) -- Although Malaysia want badly a badminton gold at the Beijing Olympics in August, winning the Thomas Cup in Jakarta in May is equally important, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob. "My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992. "Statements made that the Beijing Olympics takes precedence over other events is not the position of the ministry," he told reporters at his office here today. Ismail said no matter what events Malaysians competed, seeking glory for the nation should be the overriding priority. He said this when asked to comment on remarks by national badminton chief coach Yap Kim Hock on...
