Pengorbanan Chong Wei

CHONG WEI bersama jurulatihnya, Tay Seu Bock ketika meninggalkan hotel penginapan mereka di Wuhan, China minggu lalu.


DATUK Lee Chong Wei sememangnya sudah banyak berkorban bagi mengharumkan nama Malaysia di pentas antarabangsa.

Pelbagai kejayaan telah dilakar jaguh badminton dunia itu dan semuanya untuk negara.

Kali ini, dia sekali lagi terpaksa berkorban bagi memastikan sandaran yang diletakkan di bahunya untuk membawa pulang pingat emas pertama Sukan Olimpik 2012 di London, Julai depan berjaya direalisasikan.
Meskipun dihantui masalah kecederaan serius di bahagian buku lali kanan, Chong Wei tetap menjalani latihan sebagai persiapan menghadapi temasya berprestij dunia itu di bumi London nanti.

Jurulatih perseorangan negara, Tey Seu Bock berkata, tiada istilah rehat buat pemain No. 1 dunia itu, sebaliknya dia akan tetap menjalani latihan ringan bagi mengekalkan tahap kecergasannya.

Katanya, mahu atau tidak, Chong Wei terpaksa mengharungi situasi tersebut bagi memastikan dirinya kekal cergas sebelum Sukan Olimpik membuka tirainya pada 27 Julai depan.

“Saya akan berbincang dengan pihak ISN (Institut Sukan Negara) bagi mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang kaedah terbaik buat Chong Wei untuk menjalani latihan ringan. Apa yang ISN kata boleh buat, saya akan buat dan begitu juga sebaliknya.

“Chong Wei masih boleh berdiri dan itu merupakan petanda yang cukup positif. Jika dia tidak boleh menggunakan kaki, kita akan fikirkan cara lain untuk menjalani latihan iaitu menggunakan anggota badannya yang lain.

“Mungkin ramai beranggapan ia bagai satu penyeksaan buat Chong Wei tetapi dia tidak mempunyai pilihan lain dalam misi meraih pingat emas Sukan Olimpik.

“Apa yang saya harapkan, rakyat Malaysia terus memberi sokongan kepada Chong Wei kerana peluang untuk meraih pingat emas Sukan Olimpik tetap ada,” kata Seu Bock ketika dihubungi Kosmo! semalam.
Chong Wei mengalami kecederaan di buku lali kanan ketika menentang pemain Denmark, Peter Hoeg Gade pada aksi terakhir Kumpulan C kempen Piala Thomas 2012 di Pusat Sukan Gimnasium Wuhan, China, Selasa lalu.

Kecederaan yang dialaminya menyaksikan dia terpaksa menarik diri daripada menyertai kempen Piala Thomas.

Pada keesokan harinya, Chong Wei pulang ke tanah air dan mendapat rawatan daripada dua pakar ortopedik iaitu Dr. Saw Khay Yong dan Dr. Nicholas Geary di Pusat Perubatan Sukan Kuala Lumpur (KLSMC) dan dilaporkan akan pulih dalam masa empat minggu.

Pemain berusia 30 tahun itu akan menerima rawatan suntikan stem cell (sel tunjang) sebanyak tiga kali iaitu kaedah yang terbaik untuk pulih dengan cepat.

Mengulas lanjut, Seu Bock berkata, Chong Wei berkemungkinan besar akan keluar daripada KLSMC hari ini setelah menerima suntikan stem cell keduanya.

“Jika esok (hari ini) dia dibenarkan keluar daripada KLSMC, dia akan diberikan rehat satu hari pada Rabu (esok) sebelum menjalani proses pemulihan di ISN pada Khamis dan Jumaat.

“Bermula Isnin, dia akan kembali menjalani latihan. Mungkin minggu pertama dia akan menghabiskan masa menjalani latihan ringan di gimnasium bagi menguatkan semula otot-ototnya. Selepas itu nanti, barulah dia akan menjalani latihan di gelanggang.

“Namun, proses latihan itu nanti akan bergantung kepada tahap kecederaannya,” jelas Seu Bock.

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...

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 ...

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...
