11 jenis sukan bawah 'RtR 2016'


AHMAD Shabery mengumumkan 11 jenis sukan yang dikenal pasti untuk program 'RtR 2016'.


KEMENTERIAN Belia dan Sukan (KBS) sudah mengenal pasti 11 jenis sukan untuk disenaraikan di bawah program pembangunan Olimpik 'Road to Rio (RtR) 2016', demikian menurut menterinya, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek semalam.

Beliau berkata, pada masa sama, pihaknya akan memberi pertimbangan serius terhadap cadangan supaya tiga lagi acara sukan dimasukkan dalam program pembangunan Olimpik itu.

"Secara umum, 11 jenis sukan dikenal pasti tetapi tidak khusus lagi," katanya selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat pertama Jawatankuasa Pemandu Persediaan Atlet ke Olimpik Rio 2016 di Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Bukit Jalil semalam.
Difahamkan, 11 jenis sukan itu ialah acara yang pernah menyaksikan penyertaan atlet negara pada temasya Olimpik lepas iaitu akuatik, angkat berat, berbasikal, badminton, gimnastik, hoki lelaki, lawan pedang, memanah, menembak, olahraga dan sukan layar.

Program 'RtR 2016' adalah kesinambungan daripada program 'Road to London 2012' yang bertujuan mencari pingat emas pertama Malaysia pada Sukan Olimpik.

Ahmad Shabery berkata, tiga jenis sukan yang dicadangkan untuk disenarai dalam program 'RTR 2016' ialah golf, ekuestrian dan tinju.

Beliau berkata, pelbagai aspek akan diambil kira sebelum menyenaraikan tiga jenis sukan berkenaan, antaranya dari segi kos membiayai sukan itu serta sama ada ia berpotensi untuk bersaing pada peringkat Olimpik.

Dalam pada itu, beliau berkata, sebuah jawatankuasa kecil akan dibentuk untuk mengenal pasti atlet yang layak disenarai dalam program itu yang bukan hanya bagi tempoh empat tahun, sebaliknya menjangkau sehingga lapan tahun.

"Sebab itu kita masukkan Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dan Kementerian Pelajaran dalam jawatankuasa itu (Jawatankuasa Pemandu Persediaan Atlet ke Olimpik Rio 2016).

"Ertinya, kami perlu memikirkan untuk tempoh lapan tahun. Hubungan kami bukan sahaja dengan MSN tetapi dengan sekolah sukan di negeri-negeri untuk melahirkan bakal atlet bersaing pada Olimpik.
"Kita perlu pendekatan menyeluruh. Sekolah-sekolah sukan ini akan menjadi kilang awal dalam melahirkan bakal atlet Olimpik dan kita akan melihat keperluan dan kemudahan yang ada di sekolah- sekolah itu," katanya.

Ahmad Shabery berkata, setakat ini, pihaknya tidak menetapkan sasaran pingat pada Sukan Olimpik 2016, sebaliknya sedang meneliti pendekatan yang boleh menghasilkan pingat emas pertama negara, jumlah pingat boleh dimenangi serta bilangan atlet kebangsaan yang layak secara merit bersaing pada temasya berkenaan.

Beliau berkata, kementerian juga mengalu-alukan peruntukan khas sebanyak RM50 juta bagi tempoh empat tahun, bermula tahun ini untuk persiapan menghadapi Sukan Olimpik di Rio de Janeiro, Brazil pada 2016.

Peruntukan berkenaan diumumkan oleh Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak semasa pembentangan Bajet 2013 pada 28 September lepas.
Di bawah program 'Road to London', sebanyak RM20 juta diperuntukkan dan Malaysia hanya memperoleh satu pingat perak menerusi Datuk Lee Chong Wei dalam acara badminton perseorangan lelaki dan satu pingat gangsa melalui Pandelela Rinong menerusi acara terjun 10 meter platform.

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...
