Chong Wei tumbang

CHONG WEI gagal mempertahankan gelarannya pada Terbuka India selepas tewas kepada pemain muda Korea Selatan, Shon Wan Ho semalam.

APA sudah jadi dengan jaguh negara, Datuk Lee Chong Wei?Adakah kecederaan di bahagian bahu kanan yang di alaminya sebelum ini masih menghantui pemain No. 1 dunia itu.

Semalam, Chong Wei menerima tamparan hebat apabila gagal dalam misi mempertahankan kejuaraan pada Kejohanan Badminton Siri Super Terbuka India 2012.
Dia kalah kepada bintang muda Korea Selatan, Shon Wan Ho pada final kejohanan itu yang berlangsung di New Delhi.

Tewas pada set pertama 18-21, Chong Wei kembali bangkit apabila mencatatkan kemenangan 21-14 pada set kedua.

Bagaimanapun, hasrat untuk menyaksikan Chong Wei, 30, merangkul gelaran juara buat kali kedua selepas melakukannya pada tahun lalu tidak kesampaian apabila dia tewas 19-21 pada set penentuan.
Kekalahan itu sekali gus menyaksikan Chong Wei gagal dalam misi untuk merangkul kejuaraan ketiga tahun ini.

Pada Januari lalu, pemain kelahiran Pulau Pinang itu tampil bergaya apabila merekodkan kejuaraan pada Terbuka Malaysia dan Terbuka Korea.
Namun, kekalahan itu tidak mendatangkan kesan besar buat Chong Wei apabila dia masih berjaya mengekalkan kedudukan sebagai pemain No. 1 dunia.

Ia sekali gus meletakkan pemain itu sebagai pemain pilihan pertama menjelang temasya Sukan Olimpik 2012 di London Julai depan.

Terbuka India merupakan kejohanan pertama yang disertai Chong Wei selepas dia kembali pulih daripada masalah kecederaan bahu kanan ketika aksi final kejohanan Seluruh England bulan lalu.

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...

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...
