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.

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...
