Batal jika makin teruk

Kuala Lumpur: Temasya Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) akan dibatalkan jika keadaan jerebu semakin teruk, namun ia mungkin hanya membabitkan sembilan acara yang berlangsung di luar dewan.
Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Datuk Seri Zolkples Embong (gambar) berkata, sekiranya SUKMA terpaksa ditangguhkan atau dibatalkan, beliau tetap yakin temasya itu berlangsung dengan meriah kerana 13 acara lain yang berlangsung dalam dewan tetap dianjurkan mengikut jadual. 

Begitupun, pihaknya akan terus memantau secara terperinci keadaan jerebu terutama di Kuala Lumpur dengan sebarang keputusan akan dibuat berpandukan kepada nasihat Institut Sukan Negara (ISN) dan juga Kementerian Kesihatan.

“SUKMA tetap berlangsung seperti dirancangkan. Sama ada kita tangguh atau tidak, ia hanya membabitkan sembilan acara itu saja.

Semua 13 disiplin lain yang berlangsung dalam dewan mengikut jadual asal. Apapun saya tetap yakin kemeriahan temasya ini andai keputusan tangguh atau batal terpaksa dilakukan kerana kebanyakan acara di luar dewan tidak membabitkan penyertaan yang ramai justeru kemeriahan penganjuran tidak akan terjejas,” katanya.

Sembilan sukan itu membabitkan renang, bola sepak pantai, bola tampar pantai, ekuestrian, kriket, mendayung, ragbi, sofbol dan woodball.

Zolkples yang ditemui ketika melawat perkampungan sukan SUKMA di Kolej Tun Perak, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) semalam berkata, memang ada cadangan menangguhkan temasya ini namun ia tidak mungkin berlaku kerana MSN berdepan kesukaran mencari masa sesuai yang turut mengambil kira tarikh pelajar universiti bercuti bagi menempatkan atlet di perkampungan sukan.
Temasya SUKMA berlangsung pada 28 Jun hingga 7 Julai membabitkan penyertaan 5,026 atlet dan jurulatih yang terbabit dalam 22 acara sukan pilihan dan tidak membabitkan sukan wajib.

Atlet ditempatkan di 11 kolej sekitar UPM dengan Kolej Tun Perak dijadikan pusat penempatan utama dan juga sekretariat temasya.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
