Skuad sepak takraw bingung undian belum putus

TEKA-TEKI Indonesia berhubung jadual serta undian acara sepak takraw pada Sukan SEA XXVI membingungkan skuad negara yang setakat ini masih belum memperoleh butiran muktamad mengenainya, sekali gus menyukarkan mereka membuat percaturan strategi untuk menghadapi lawan pada temasya itu nanti.
Masalah itu dikatakan berpunca daripada kekurangan jumlah penyertaan pasukan yang mana acara berpasukan yang hanya disertai empat negara - Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia dan Myanmar - mungkin terpaksa dilangsungkan secara liga sepusingan berbanding pembahagian kepada dua kumpulan seperti kebiasaan.

Namun, tatkala temasya itu bakal berlangsung dalam tempoh kira-kira seminggu saja lagi, tindakan tuan rumah yang masih belum mengeluarkan maklumat mengenai jadual dan undian dilihat sebagai strategi mereka untuk memperoleh kelebihan terutama dalam menyusun jadual pertandingan yang memihak kepada mereka.

“Difahamkan, acara sepak takraw mungkin akan dilewatkan sehari berbanding jadual asal pada 11 November dan mereka juga mungkin menukar format pertandingan dengan memulakan acara antara regu terlebih dulu, diikuti acara double dan berpasukan berbanding kebiasaan iaitu acara berpasukan, diikuti double dan antara regu.

“Saya percaya semua itu dilakukan tuan rumah untuk mencari kelebihan dalam mengatur strategi mereka, khususnya acara berpasukan yang mana mereka kini boleh menyusun jadual mengikut keutamaan yang berpihak kepada mereka,” kata ketua jurulatih kebangsaan, Jamaluddin Hassan (atas), semalam.

Skuad sepak takraw negara kali terakhir meraih pingat emas Sukan SEA pada temasya di Manila 2005 dan pada temasya kali ini, Malaysia mensasarkan sekurang-kurangnya satu pingat emas tanpa mengira acara.

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...
