PETALING JAYA - Tanpa diletakkan sebarang ramalan, ratu menembak negara, Nur Suryani Taibi berjaya mencipta kejutan apabila muncul pemenang Anugerah Atlet Terbaik SAM 100Plus 2011 dengan mengetepikan nama besar lain seperti Datuk Lee Chong Wei dan Datuk Nicol David, semalam.

Pemenang dua pingat emas Sukan SEA XXVI Indonesia itu turut menewaskan dua lagi calon, pemain boling wanita negara, Jacqueline Jenelee Sijore dan pelumba berbasikal wanita yang semakin meningkat, Fatehah Mustapa.

Meraih undian tertinggi daripada penulis sukan media cetak dan elektronik, Suryani secara jujur mengakui langsung tidak menduga akan meraih gelaran itu biarpun mengetahui namanya berada dalam senarai pencalonan.

''Saya benar-benar terkejut sebab memang tidak jangka akan menang untuk anugerah kali ini kerana saya datang ke majlis ini untuk memenuhi jemputan dan langsung tidak menyimpan harapan untuk menang.
''Apabila nama saya diumumkan, saya agak tergamam dan gembira tidak terkata, ini antara penghargaan terbesar yang saya pernah capai.

''Mungkin kejayaan yang saya raih di Sukan SEA tahun lalu menjadi faktor mengapa saya dipilih menjadi atlet terbaik SAM, " katanya yang membawa pulang RM10,000 dan trofi.

Hadiah kemenangan disampaikan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek dalam majlis yang turut dihadiri Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Datuk Zolkples Embong dan Presiden Persatuan Penulis-Penulis Sukan Malaysia (SAM), Ahmad Khawari Isa.

Antara tetamu-tetamu jemputan yang hadir ialah Setiausaha Agung Konfederasi Bola Sepak Asia (AFC), Datuk Alex Soosay, Setiausaha Kehormat MOM, Datuk Sieh Kok Chi dan Naib Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM), Datuk Hamidin Mohd.Amin.

Anugerah Kebangkitan Terbaik 2011 menjadi milik pemain snuker veteran, Sam Chong, manakala skuad bola sepak Sukan SEA 2011 meraih anugerah Out-Do Yourself.

Juara remaja dunia, Zulfadli Zulkifli pula menerima anugerah Atlet Harapan 2011 dan Kongres Tenpin Boling Malaysia dipilih sebagai persatuan terbaik.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
