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.

Sports press clippings on the 24 April 2008

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...
