VIENTIANE, Laos - Perenang wanita negara, Khoo Cai Lin muncul wira apabila menyumbangkan pingat emas ke-36 buat kontinjen Malaysia pada Sukan Universiti ASEAN (AUG) 2012.

Kejayaan itu hadir selepas dia memenangi pingat emas dalam acara 800 meter (m) gaya bebas dengan catatan 9 minit 06.01 saat (s) pada aksi final yang berlangsung di Pusat Akuati Kompleks Sukan Nasional Laos semalam.

Lebih manis, catatan tersebut turut memadam rekod lama kejohanan iaitu 9:32.87s.
Pingat emas yang dimenangi atlet berusia 24 tahun itu sekali gus melengkapkan misi kontinjen Malaysia yang meletakkan sasaran untuk membawa pulang 36 pingat emas dari bumi Loas.

Sebagai rekod, Cai Lin yang merupakan penuntut di Universiti Taylor turut melengkapkan sasaran pingat emas kontinjen negara pada edisi 2010 di Chiangmai, Thailand.

"Saya gembira kerana sekali lagi berjaya melengkapkan sasaran buat kontinjen Malaysia pada AUG selepas kali pertama melakukannya di Chiangmai.

"Meskipun tidak meletakkan sasaran khusus untuk AUG kali ini tetapi saya tetap menganggap ia penting kerana KPT (Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi) telah banyak memberi sokongan terhadap karier saya sebagai perenang dan dalam masa yang sama sebagai pelajar.

"Jadi, saya bertekad untuk melakukan yang terbaik dan cuba menyumbangkan seberapa banyak pingat emas yang boleh buat kontinjen Malaysia," kata Cai Lin semalam.

Cai Lin turut menyuarakan keyakinan bahawa skuad renang negara mampu melepasi sasaran sembilan pingat emas yang ditetapkan pada temasya dwi tahunan itu.

Sementara itu, seorang lagi perenang wanita negara, Siow Yi Ting terus tampil cemerlang apabila menyumbangkan dua pingat emas buat skuad renang pada hari kedua acara itu dipertandingkan semalam.

Yi Ting memastikan pingat emas menjadi miliknya apabila mengungguli saingan dalam acara 200m rampaian individu dan 50m kuak dada.

Skuad renang negara turut meraih satu pingat perak menerusi acara 80m gaya bebas berganti-ganti wanita dan satu gangsa (800m gaya bebas berganti-ganti lelaki).

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...

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 ...
