Cabaran Hafiz Dan Wei Feng Berakhir, Hanya Tinggal Chong Wei Dalam Acara Perseorangan


NEW DELHI, 26 April (Bernama) -- Hanya Datuk Lee Chong Wei menggalas cabaran negara manakala dua pemain gagal melepasi saingan peringkat kedua acara perseorangan lelaki pada Kejohanan Badminton Terbuka India hari Khamis.

Chong Wei yang membuat penampilan pertama pada kejohanan utama sejak baru pulih dari kecederaan bahu semasa Kejohanan All-England, melangkah ke suku akhir manakala Chong Wei Feng dan Muhammad Hafiz Hashim tersingkir.

"Sekarang semua baik tetapi saya sedikit fobia dan berhati-hati semasa melakukan pukulan kencang," katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditanya mengenai tahap pemulihan kecederaan bahunya.

Selaku juara bertahan dan pilihan utama, Chong Wei meranap harapan peminat tempatan apabila menumpaskan pemain tuan rumah Ajay Jayaram 21-16, 15-21, 21-5 sebelum berdepan sama ada dengan Taufik Hidayat dari Indonesia atau pemain China Wang Zhengming.

Wei Feng, pemain pelapis negara, kalah kepada pemain Denmark, Hans Kristian Vittinghus 13-21, 21-8, 12-21 manakala Hafiz tumpas kepada pemain nombor empat dunia, Chen Jen dari China, 18-21, 15-21.

Cabaran negara pada suku akhir beregu lelaki digalas gandingan Koon Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong yang berjaya menumpaskan beregu Jepun, Hiroyuki Endo dan Kenichi Hayakawa 21-18, 21-18.

Beregu kedua negara Goh V Shem-Lim Khim Wah turut melangkah ke suku akhir selepas mengetepikan tentangan Ahsan Mohammad dan Septano Bona dari Indonesia, 13-21, 21-19, 21-18.

Kien Keat-Boon Heong dijadual bertemu gandingan Indonesia, Angga Pratama-Ryan Agung Saputra manakala Shem-Khim Wah akan berdepan dengan beregu ndonesia Alvent Yulianto-Hendra Gunawan pada perlawanan suku akhir.

Beregu campuran negara Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying turut layak ke suku akhir apabila menumpaskan Noriyasu Hirata-Miyuki Maeda dari Jepun, 21-16, 21-13.

Mereka besar kemungkinan bertemu gandingan mantap Thailand Sudket Prapakamol-Saralee Thoungthongkam pada saingan seterusnya.

Sementara itu, beregu wanita negara Goh Liu Ying dan Lim Yin Loo gagal meneruskan cabaran apabila dikalahkan oleh beregu Korea Selatan, Ha Jung Eun-Kim Min Jung, 21-13, 21-19.

Kejohanan Siri Super itu menawarkan hadiah wang tunai US$200,000 (RM610,300)

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...

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 ...
