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).

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...
