Sukan Malaysia: Terengganu sasar 40 pingat emas untuk pertahan kejuaraan

KUALA LUMPUR - Meskipun belum meletakkan sasaran spesifik perolehan pingat emas pada Sukan Malaysia 2012 di Pahang Julai ini, juara bertahan Terengganu yakin untuk mengumpul lebih 40 pingat emas pada temasya kali ini.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Belia dan Sukan negeri Terengganu, Rozi Mamat berkata, keyakinan untuk memperoleh jumlah tersebut bersandarkan kepada keupayaan atlet baru dan program pembangunan sukan yang berjaya dilaksanakan.

Menurutnya, pada penyertaan kali ini, atlet baru akan diberikan kepercayaan bersaing untuk mendapatkan pingat emas.

"Kita mempunyai ramai atlet baru dan pemantauan akhir menggambarkan bahawa Terengganu bakal memberi saingan yang lebih kuat malah kita yakin mampu menjadi juara buat kali keempat.

"Buat masa ini sasaran pingat emas tidak boleh berikan secara terperinci namun saya percaya Terengganu mampu melakukan yang terbaik pada penganjuran kali ini," katanya selepas majlis pelancaran program Evolusi R di sini, semalam.

Evolusi R adalah satu program anjuran Pertubuhan Penunggang Motosikal Bersatu Malaysia (Riders & Rempit United) untuk membangunkan komuniti remaja bermotor selain menghindari generasi muda daripada terjebak dengan gejala negatif.

Sementara itu, Rozi berkata, acara yang diyakini mampu untuk menyumbang pingat emas buat Terengganu pada Sukan Malaysia kali ini ialah basikal, angkat berat dan sukan tempur.

"Tahun ini acara kanu tiada dipertandingkan tambahan pula ada beberapa atlet kami yang bakal menyertai Sukan Olimpik namun kita yakin dalam acara yang ada kami masih mampu untuk mendapatkan pingat emas.
"Seperti yang kita tahu ada atlet muda kami telah layak ke Sukan Olimpik seperti atlet memanah dan tidak dapat beraksi pada temasya kali ini. Ia tidak menjadi masalah kerana melalui program pembangunan yang telah dijalankan sejak dahulu kita tetap berupaya memberikan saingan," kata Rozi.

Terengganu muncul juara Sukan Malaysia berturut-turut sejak 2008 dan tahun lalu negeri itu mengutip 23 pingat emas.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
