Anuar pamer aksi mantap

Kulim: Anuar Manan membuktikan kredibilitinya sebagai pelumba pecut terbaik negara walaupun terpaksa menunggu hingga saat akhir mendapatkan pasukan untuk bersaing dalam Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) 2013.

Pelumba kelahiran Terengganu yang mewakili Synergy-Baku Cycling Project dari Azerbaijan itu menduduki tempat ketujuh peringkat pertama dari Kangar ke Kulim dengan masa empat jam 17 saat.

Ia sekali gus memberi gambaran sebenar kemampuan bekas Raja Pecut LTdL 2010 itu yang tampak sukar mendapat tempat bersama pasukan tempatan.
“Saya tidak sangka menjadi pelumba tempatan terbaik. Saya cuma mahu memenangi peringkat ini dan tidak sempat melihat pelumba negara yang lain,” katanya.

Menurut pelumba berusia 27 tahun itu, usaha bersendirian memberikan kesukaran selepas pasukan Pro Tour lain seperti Blanco Pro Clycling Team memberikan sokongan diperlukan untuk Theo Bos menjuarai peringkat pertama.

Anuar bagaimanapun, mengaku kegagalan pasukannya mengejar tiga pelumba yang melakukan pemecahan pada dua kilometer awal menyebabkan dia kerugian mata.
Dia bagaimanapun mengutip sembilan mata pada persaingan merebut jersi biru selepas menduduki tempat ketujuh peringkat pertama itu selain di tempat ketiga kategori pelumba terbaik Asia (jersi putih).

“Peluang menang peringkat perlumbaan masih ada dan kami akan memperkemaskan strategi untuk peringkat kedua. Tidak perlu bazirkan banyak tenaga kerana masih ada sembilan peringkat untuk bersaing.”

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...
