Terengganu lakar hatrik

SKUAD hoki wanita Terengganu meraikan kejayaan meraih pingat emas Sukan Malaysia XV selepas menewaskan Wilayah Persekutuan 1-0 di Padang Hoki Wisma Belia dekat Kuantan, semalam.
 
KUANTAN - Kehebatan Terengganu melahirkan jaguh lumba basikal, memanah dan olahraga tempatan membolehkan negeri itu ditabalkan selaku juara keseluruhan Sukan Malaysia buat kali ketiga berturut-turut, biarpun tirai temasya hanya akan ditutup secara rasmi hari ini.

Walaupun masih ada lapan pingat emas ditawarkan pada hari terakhir, namun pencabar terdekat mereka, Selangor sudah tidak mampu memintas kerana dipisahkan dengan 14 pingat emas selepas 360 acara dipertandingkan.

Selepas muncul juara keseluruhan pada 2008 dan 2010, Terengganu meneruskan keunggulan sebagai kuasa sukan tempatan dengan membolot 62 pingat emas, jauh mengatasi Selangor yang melengkapkan saingan dengan 47 emas. Tuan rumah pula berada di tempat ketiga dengan 44 emas.

Malah, pungutan yang diraih Terengganu juga mengatasi sasaran sebenar mereka, yang sekadar menetapkan misi 47 emas untuk dibawa pulang. Bagaimana Terengganu mampu menjadi kuasa sukan tempatan yang cukup hebat, ia sesuatu yang harus membuka mata negeri lain apabila menyiapkan atlet masing-masing untuk menghadapi temasya di Perlis, dua tahun dari sekarang.

Bayangkan dalam acara lumba basikal, Terengganu berjaya membolot 12 daripada 18 emas yang ditawarkan, manakala memanah menyumbang sembilan emas dan olahraga dengan lapan emas.

Pada hari kesembilan semalam, Terengganu unggul menambah lapan pingat emas dengan dua daripadanya daripada acara angkat berat, memanah serta hoki dan satu daripada sepak takraw dan tinju.
Selain itu, Terengganu turut cemerlang dalam sukan angkat berat (enam), taekwondo (empat) dan ekuestrian (tiga).

Kecemerlangan Terengganu pada Sukan Malaysia kali ni cukup mengejutkan kerana acara yang menjadi salah satu penyumbang emas terbesar di Melaka, kanu tidak disenaraikan di Pahang. Sebagai rekod, pada Sukan Malaysia 2010 Melaka, Terengganu meraih 47 emas, 30 perak dan 43 gangsa.
Ketika menjadi tuan rumah pada Sukan Malaysia 2008, kontinjen yang terkenal dengan maskot penyu itu mendapat 61 emas, 39 perak dan 47 gangsa, untuk muncul juara buat kali pertama.

Selangor yang kelihatan gagah pada awal temasya terpaksa berpuas hati di tempat kedua, buat kali ketiga berturut-turut. Kontinjen Merah Kuning itu turut menghuni tempat kedua di Terengganu dengan 54 emas, 47 perak dan 51 gangsa manakala pada dua tahun berikutnya, mereka hanya dibezakan empat emas di belakang Terengganu selepas meraih 43 emas, 43 perak dan 58 gangsa.

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...
