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.
“Pada 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.

“Jika dia (Chong Wei) dapat menanganinya, saya percaya pemain badminton seperti Lin Dan mampu ditewaskan,” 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.
“Dengan memberi tumpuan pada kejohanan lebih berprestij, tempoh rehat Chong Wei lebih panjang berbanding jika dia menyertai semua kejohanan.

“Bagi 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,” 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...

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...
