KUALA LUMPUR - Aksi memberangsangkan pada Kejohanan Wusyu Dunia di Ankara dua minggu lepas menjadi tonik buat skuad tersebut untuk meraih sekurang-kurangnya dua pingat emas di Sukan SEA XXVI Indonesia 2011 bulan depan.

Menurut Ketua Kontinjen Malaysia ke Sukan SEA , Datuk Naim Mohamad, wusyu tidak putus-putus memberikan kilauan emas buat kontinjen negara termasuk di Sukan SEA Laos 2009 apabila berjaya meraih tiga emas, satu perak dan tiga gangsa.

"Kita bukan sahaja mampu memberikan persembahan terbaik di peringkat serantau, malah dihormati di peringkat benua dan dunia selepas dibuktikan dalam Kejohanan Wusyu Dunia baru-baru ini," katanya selepas mengadakan pertemuan dengan skuad wusyu negara yang akan ke Sukan SEA Palembang 2011, semalam.
Jelasnya, walaupun hampir separuh atlet pelapis akan mengambil bahagian, dia yakin pasukan yang dilatih Yoong Thong Foong dan Mao Yaqi mampu untuk mencapai sasaran yang diletakkan dengan memenangi dua emas.

"Ini adalah peluang terbaik buat atlet pelapis untuk mendapat pendedahan di peringkat antarabangsa dan saya yakin dengan sasaran yang diletakkan oleh persatuan untuk meraih dua pingat emas," katanya.

Wusyu menghantar 12 atlet yang dibahagikan kepada dua acara, taolu dan sanshou, namun pemenang pingat emas Kejohanan Wusyu Dunia, Chai Fong Ying tidak disenaraikan bagi memberi ruang kepada atlet muda.
"Antara pencabar negara di Sukan SEA Palembang nanti ialah Vietnam yang merupakan pemenang pingat emas terbanyak di Sukan SEA Laos iaitu dengan tujuh pingat emas, namun Malaysia mempunyai kekuatan tersendiri.

"Kita juga percaya dengan pengadilan bagi sukan subjektif kali ini untuk dilakukan dengan lebih adil agar tidak berlaku sebarang kontroversi seperti sebelum ini. Kita tidak perlu prejudis dan salah sangka dengan kemampuan pengadil yang terdiri daripada negara yang akan mengambil bahagian," katanya.

Atlet wusyu yang akan mengambil bahagian di Sukan SEA Palembang 2011 ialah Lee Yang, Loh Jack Chang, Koo Chee Zhong, Kevan Cheah Peng Heng, Ong Shi Chuan, Diana Bong Siong Lin, Tai Cheau Xuen, Ng Shin Yii, Kimberly Goh Yuen Yuen, kesemua mereka beraksi dalam acara taolu.
Sementara itu bagi acara sanshou skuad negara mengharapkan dua atlet lelaki dan seorang wanita, mereka ialah Wong Wei Jian, Tan Jia Guen dan Tan Pei Pin.

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...

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 ...

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...
