Mantapkan mental Chong Wei: Tengku Kamil

KEKUATAN mental perlu diberi penekanan jaguh badminton negara, Datuk Lee Chong Wei jika mahu memenangi pingat emas Sukan Olimpik London tahun depan.
Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM), Tengku Kamil Ismail Tengku Idris Shah, berkata berdasarkan prestasi semasa, Chong Wei dilihat tidak menghadapi masalah besar terutama dari segi kecergasan fizikal.

Namun, menurutnya, kekuatan mental dilihat menjadi halangan utamanya meraih kejayaan terutama membabitkan pertemuan dengan jaguh dunia, Lin Dan dari China.
ā€œPada pandangan peribadi saya, Chong Wei bukan saja perlu memberi tumpuan dari segi kecergasan fizikal tetapi mental harus diberi keutamaan jika mahu mencipta kejayaan besar terutama di pentas Sukan Olimpik.

ā€œJika dia (Chong Wei) dapat menanganinya, saya percaya pemain badminton seperti Lin Dan mampu ditewaskan,ā€ katanya semalam.

Tengku Kamil Ismail berkata demikian ketika mengulas kegagalan Chong Wei menewaskan Lin Dan pada separuh akhir Terbuka China dan Terbuka Hong Kong baru-baru ini.

Kekalahan itu menyaksikan Chong Wei masih gagal menundukkan musuh ketatnya itu yang jelas sukar dijinakkan, sekaligus memberi petanda awal bahawa jaguh China itu bakal mempertahankan pingas emas seperti yang dilakukan pada Sukan Olimpik Beijing 2008.

Bagi memastikan prestasi Chong Wei berada pada tahap terbaik, menurut Tengku Kamil Ismail, dia diharap hanya memberi tumpuan pada kejohanan besar seperti Super Siri sahaja.
ā€œDengan memberi tumpuan pada kejohanan lebih berprestij, tempoh rehat Chong Wei lebih panjang berbanding jika dia menyertai semua kejohanan.

ā€œBagi saya, dia perlu memberi tumpuan pada kejohanan Super Siri. Saya harap kejohanan terdekat yang seharusnya menjadi tumpuan adalah Terbuka Korea dan Terbuka Malaysia Januari depan,ā€ katanya.

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...

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...
