Anuar belum mampu pamer taring sebenar

Kapar, Klang: Prestasi pelumba tempatan terus mengecewakan selepas peringkat keempat Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) 2013 semalam.
Kecuali Anuar Manan yang tampak memberikan saingan, skuad kebangsaan dan Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG) dilihat masih belum mampu memberikan cabaran bermakna.

Lebih mengecewakan sasaran skuad kebangsaan yang mahu berada dalam kelompok 10 pasukan terbaik tampak sukar apabila menghuni tangga ke-17 dalam senarai 22 pasukan bertanding TSG di tempat ke-21.
Bagi Anuar yang juga pelumba Synergy-Baku Cycling Project, dia tetap fokus dalam misinya walaupun masih belum menyarung sebarang jersi dan menang dalam empat peringkat awal perlumbaan.

“Saya cuba sedaya mungkin mengutip mata dalam zon pecutan hari ini dan masih berusaha untuk mencari podium pertama,” katanya yang menjadi pelumba terbaik tempatan semalam apabila menamatkan saingan di tempat kelapan.

Menurutnya, kegagalan rakan sepasukannya membuka laluan dengan baik mengundang padah apabila dia terpaksa bersaing secara bersendirian menuju ke garisan penamat.
“Saya akan terus mencuba selepas ini walaupun pasukan Pro Tour seperti Astana Pro Team dan Blanco Pro Cycling Team mengawasi pergerakan saya,” kata juara Raja Pecut edisi 2010 itu.

Anuar kini menjadi taruhan terbaik pelumba tempatan seandainya mahu memenangi sesuatu kali ini walaupun kini sekadar mengumpul 29 mata, ketinggalan 12 mata dalam perebutan jersi Raja Pecut.
Peringkat kelima hari ini sejauh 110.3 kilometer mempertandingkan tiga zon pecutan di Coalfields, Paya Jaras dan Gombak sebelum mendaki ke Genting Highlands.

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 ...

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...

Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob (centre) speaks to athletes after giving away the Olympic qualifying incentives in Putrajaya yesterday. — Pic: RAMDZAN MASIAM Thomas Cup Equally Important, Says Ismail PUTRAJAYA, April 23 (Bernama) -- Although Malaysia want badly a badminton gold at the Beijing Olympics in August, winning the Thomas Cup in Jakarta in May is equally important, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob. "My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992. "Statements made that the Beijing Olympics takes precedence over other events is not the position of the ministry," he told reporters at his office here today. Ismail said no matter what events Malaysians competed, seeking glory for the nation should be the overriding priority. He said this when asked to comment on remarks by national badminton chief coach Yap Kim Hock on...
