PKBM - Tunggu penilaian Beasley

Muhammad Adiq Husainie Othman pilihan utama ke Olimpik London. 
 
KUALA LUMPUR - Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM) perlu menunggu laporan daripada jurulatih mengenai prestasi setiap pelumba lebuh raya sebelum boleh menyenaraikan mereka secara rasmi ke Olimpik London.

Presiden Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM), Abu Samah Abd. Wahab berkata, ia merupakan sebab badan induk berbasikal negara itu terpaksa melanjutkan tempoh mengumumkan dua nama pelumba ke Olimpik.

Menurutnya, ketika ini terdapat beberapa pelumba yang berada dalam senarai pendek berada di luar negara bersama kelab yang mereka sertai dan PKBM akan menilai laporan setiap jurulatih pasukan terlibat pada mesyuarat pemilihan yang bakal diadakan pada 15 Jun ini.

"Kita mahu membuat keputusan yang adil agar tidak timbul isu berbangkit berhubung pemilihan pelumba lebuh raya ke Sukan Olimpik.

"Ketua jurulatih John Beasley turut akan berada dalam mesyuarat pemilihan nanti bagi menilai secara adil pelumba yang benar-benar layak," kata Abu Samah.

Kelmarin PKBM diberikan kebenaran oleh Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) untuk menangguhkan pengumuman rasmi dua pelumba lebuh raya ketika badan sukan lain yang telah melayakkan diri ke Olimpik sudah mengumunkan senarai atlet mereka.

Badan induk berbasikal negara itu dibenarkan untuk mengumumkan nama atlet tersebut sehingga 16 Jun ini.

Sementara itu, Abu Samah berkata, Beasley bakal memikul tugas sebagai jurulatih bagi acara trek dan lebuh raya pada temasya Olimpik kali ini.

"Kita memperoleh kuota yang tidak begitu banyak untuk pegawai, sebab itu Beasley dipertanggungjawabkan untuk membimbing dua acara tersebut ketika Sukan Olimpik nanti.

"Saya juga yakin penangguhan pengumuman nama pelumba lebuh raya tidak mengganggu persiapan menghadapi Sukan Olimpik," katanya.

Mengikut ranking lima senarai pendek pelumba lebuh raya untuk ke Olimpik, Muhammad Adiq Husainie Othman masih menjadi pelumba pilihan berdasarkan pretasi semasa.

Calon kedua ialah pelumba Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG), Mohd. Harrif Salleh manakala calon ketiga dan keempat pula ialah Zamri Salleh dan Amir Mus tafa Rusli.

Pakar pecut negara Anuar Manan untuk di senaraikan ke Olimpik agak kabur dan menjadi pilihan terakhir.

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 ...
