BEREGU muda lelaki negara, Goh V Shem-Lim Khim Wah cemerlang apabila mara ke peringkat suku akhir Kejohanan Badminton Siri Super Terbuka India 2012.

Kejayaan itu hadir selepas V Shem-Khim Wah mencipta kejutan menewaskan beregu pilihan keempat dari Indonesia, Mohammad Ahsan-Bona Septano 13-21, 21-19 21-18 pada aksi pusingan kedua kejohanan yang berlangsung di New Delhi semalam.

Terdahulu, beregu utama lelaki negara, Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong hanya selangkah sahaja lagi untuk mencapai sasaran yang diletakkan ke atas bahu mereka pada kejohanan kali ini apabila mara ke peringkat suku akhir.

Kien Keat-Boon Heong tampil rentak konsisten apabila mengetepikan cabaran pasangan Jepun, Hiroyuki Endo-Kenichi Hayakawa 21-18, 21-18 pada aksi pu- singan kedua semalam.
Beregu emas negara itu berpeluang untuk membalas dendam ke atas pasangan Indonesia, Angga Pratama-Ryan Agung Saputra yang menewaskan mereka pada Piala Axiata bulan lalu apabila dijadualkan bertemu dalam aksi suku akhir hari ini.

Sementara itu, jaguh perseorangan negara, Datuk Lee Chong Wei terpaksa bermandi peluh sebelum mara ke suku akhir.

Tampil selaku pemain pilihan pertama kejohanan, Chong Wei dipaksa bekerja keras oleh Ajay Jayaram dari India sebelum mencatatkan kemenangan 21-15, 17-21, 21-11 semalam.

Turut mengesahkan slot ke suku akhir ialah beregu campuran negara, Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying yang menewaskan Noriyasu Hirata-Miyuki Maeda dari Jepun 21-16, 21-13.

Dua lagi pemain perseorangan negara, Muhammad Hafiz Hashim dan Chong Wei Feng gagal dalam misi ke peringkat suku akhir selepas tewas kepada lawan masing-masing pada pusingan kedua.

Seperti diramal, Hafiz ternyata sukar untuk menandingi bintang China, Chen Jin apabila tewas 18-21, 15-21.
Wei Feng pula gagal menyekat kemaraan pemain Denmark, Hans-Kristian Vittinghus apabila tewas 13-21, 21-8, 12-21.

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 ...

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.

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...
