Peluang Anuar rebut tempat

Kuala Lumpur: Rintihan Anuar Manan berhubung sikap Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM) yang mengenepikannya sebagai calon pilihan ke Sukan SEA, akhirnya didengari.
Anuar yang kini beraksi bersama pasukan benua, Baku Cycling Project akan dipanggil untuk sesi pemilihan khas yang akan diadakan PKBM sebelum senarai akhir pelumba negara bagi menyertai acara lebuh raya, ujian masa individu (ITT) dan ujian masa berpasukan (TTT) kategori elit lelaki, diumumkan.

Presiden PKBM Datuk Abu Samah Abd Wahab berkata, semua pelumba yang memegang lesen dikeluarkan badan induk itu layak menyertai sesi pemilihan dan antara lokasi dikenal pasti membabitkan pendakian di Genting Highlands serta Cameron Highlands.
Katanya, bukan hanya Anuar akan dipanggil, malah semua pelumba Adiq Hussainie Othman (Champion System Pro Cycling), Amir Mustafa Rusli (Drapac Professional Cycing Team) dan pelumba Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG) termasuk Saufi Mat Senan, Mohd Shahrul Mat Amin, Mohd Zamril Salleh serta Mohd Harrif Salleh akan turut dipelawa menghadiri sesi pemilihan itu.

“Saya hargai hasrat Anuar menamatkan kemarau pingat negara acara lebuh raya. Semangat ditunjukkan Anuar itu menunjukkan dia pelumba hebat dan kami akan menjemputnya untuk menyertai tiga pemilihan itu,” katanya.

Anuar sebelum ini meluahkan kekecewaannya kerana diketepikan PKBM tanpa sebab biarpun sudah membuktikan dia antara pelumba terbaik negara dalam aksi ‘one day race’.
Mengulas laluan ujian iaitu pendakian ke Genting Highlands serta Cameron Highlands, Abu Samah berkata, ia dipilih berdasarkan laluan pada temasya itu nanti yang akan membabitkan dua pendakian.

“Pada temasya Sukan SEA, pelumba perlu melepasi dua pendakian. Pendakian pertama membabitkan laluan setinggi 1,000m manakala pendakian kedua lebih daripada 1,200m. “Malaysia perlu memilih pelumba yang berkeupayaan mendaki dan biarpun Anuar lebih dikenali sebagai pakar pecut, dia masih berpeluang memenangi pingat emas kerana laluan selepas pendakian ada yang landai dan pelumba perlu berkayuh sejauh 21 kilometer lagi sebelum ke garisan penamat,” katanya.
Abu Samah yang juga Pengerusi Teknikal Bagi Acara Berbasikal Sukan SEA 2013 meletakkan harapan tinggi buat pasukan negara membawa pulang pingat selepas kali terakhir meraih emas pada Sukan SEA 2005 menerusi Suhardi Hassan dan Norazian Alias.

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...

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 ...
