Malaysia bakal bergelar juara


PEMANAH lelaki dan wanita negara menguasai saingan acara berpasukan pada AUG 2012 semalam.


VIENTIANE, Laos - Kontinjen Malaysia semakin hampir untuk dinobatkan sebagai juara keseluruhan Sukan Universiti ASEAN (AUG) 2012.

Selepas enam hari temasya edisi ke-16 itu berlangsung, kontinjen negara terus unggul selaku pendahulu carta pungutan pingat.

Setakat semalam, kontinjen negara berada di tangga teratas carta apabila mengumpul 49 pingat emas, 39 perak dan 49 gangsa diikuti Vietnam di tangga kedua dengan 44 emas, 26 perak dan 22 gangsa.
Tuan rumah, Laos pula menghuni tangga ketiga dengan mengumpul 29 pingat emas, 8 perak dan 31 gangsa.

Berbaki dua hari lagi sebelum temasya dwi tahunan itu menutup tirainya esok, kontinjen negara dijangka menambah koleksi pingat emas menerusi beberapa acara yang bakal berlangsung.
Sukan renang dan memanah yang akan beraksi untuk hari terakhir hari ini dijangka menjadi lubuk buat kontinjen negara bagi meraih pingat emas.

Pada hari keenam semalam, kontinjen negara cemerlang apabila berjaya melepasi sasaran baru iaitu sebanyak 45 pingat emas.

Ia merupakan sasaran terbaharu yang ditetapkan oleh ketua kontinjen Malaysia, Prof. Dr. Yahaya Ibrahim selepas kejayaan mencapai sasaran awal AUG kali ini iaitu sebanyak 36 pingat emas kelmarin.
Pada aksi semalam, renang terus membuktikan kehebatan apabila menyumbang enam pingat emas buat kontinjen negara.

Tidak ketinggalan, memanah yang meraih tiga pingat emas selain wushu yang menyumbang satu emas.
Jika berjaya bergelar juara keseluruhan pada AUG kali ini, ia adalah kali pertama direkodkan kontinjen negara sejak temasya itu diperkenalkan pada 1981 di Chiangmai, Thailand.

Dengan kejayaan sebangak 49 pingat emas semalam, ia merupakan pencapaian terbaik kontinjen Malaysia sepanjang menyertai AUG di luar negara.

Jumlah pingat emas itu mengatasi pencapaian terbaik sebelum ini yang direkodkan pada edisi ke-15 di Chiangmai, Thailand dua tahun lalu dengan 36 pingat emas.

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...

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 ...
