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.

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...

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 ...
