BWF bakal perkenal teknologi baru

Kuala Lumpur: Badminton dijangka mengikut jejak langkah tenis dan bolasepak dengan memperkenalkan teknologi baru bagi mengkaji keraguan terhadap keputusan penjaga garisan.
Satu ujian akan dimulakan pada Piala Sudirman di Kuala Lumpur bulan depan sebelum sistem baru itu digunakan sepenuhnya pada Terbuka Indonesia September ini, menurut Persekutuan Badminton Dunia (BWF) semalam.

“Apa yang kami lakukan sama dengan sukan lain, peraturan dan prinsip pada dasarnya sama dengan sukan seperti tenis, sekalipun teknologi dan prosesnya mungkin sedikit berbeza,” kata Timbalan Presiden BWF Paisan Rangsikitpho.

“Akhirnya kami mahu memantapkan integriti perlawanan dan keputusan yang dibuat.” Namun, sistem baru itu masih dalam peringkat perancangan dan BWF masih belum memutuskan teknologi yang akan digunakan, tidak sampai sebulan sebelum Piala Sudirman.

“Keputusan ini lebih mengenai peraturan berbanding teknologi sebenar yang digunakan,” kata Rangsikitpho.

“Kami masih menimbangkan beberapa pilihan tapi ia tetap sistem menggunakan kamera yang memungkinkan pengadil mengkaji semula keputusan penjaga garisan dengan teknologi gerak perlahan.
“Kami mahu mekanikal operasi ini berjalan lancar dan memastikan kedua-dua pemain dan pegawai perlawanan memahami bagaimana ia patut dilakukan, langkah demi langkah. Itulah keutamaan kami ketika ini.” Sistem Hawk-Eye dari Britain kini digunakan secara meluas dalam sukan tenis begitu juga dalam perlawanan kriket antarabangsa.

Bulan ini, Liga Perdana Inggeris mengesahkan penggunaan Hawk-Eye bermula musim depan, yang pertama bagi liga bolasepak domestik manakala badan induk dunia FIFA memilik sistem GoalControl dari Jerman untuk digunakan pada Piala Konfederasi tahun ini.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

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 ...

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...
