Khairy Puas Hati Pencapaian Atlet Negara Di Temasya Sukan Perpaduan Islam


PALEMBANG, 24 Sept (Bernama) -- Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin melahirkan rasa puas hati atas kejayaan kontinjen negara mencapai sasaran tiga pingat emas pada hari kedua Temasya Sukan Perpaduan Islam Ketiga di sini.

Khairy berkata kejayaan itu membuktikan atlet negara berada dalam keadaan terbaik dan bersedia untuk menghadapi cabaran yang lebih penting pada Kejohanan Sukan SEA Myanmar Disember ini.

"Hari ini sahaja kita berjaya meraih dua pingat emas menerusi Yap Siew Hui dan Yap See Tuan...mereka telah beraksi dalam keadaan yang cukup meyakinkan," katanya kepada Bernama selepas menyaksikan persembahan skuad renang negara di Pusat Akuatik Jakabaring dekat sini Selasa.

Yap Siew Hui meraih pingat emas menerusi acara 100 meter kuak kupu-kupu wanita dengan catatan masa 1:02.10s dan Yap See Tuan pula menerusi acara 200 meter kuak dada lelaki dengan catatan masa 2:18.16s.

Beliau berkata kejayaan skuad karate menyumbang pingat emas pertama negara semalam (Isnin) harus diberi pujian apabila Lim Chee Wei yang menggantikan Ricky Leong Tze Wai dalam acara Kata individu lelaki mendapat markah penuh 5-0 mengatasi atlet Algeria, Djaafer Islam yang meraih pingat perak.

Ricky terpaksa menarik diri selepas mengalami kecederaan serius pada bahagian tapak tangan kiri ketika menjalani latihan bersama Lim pagi Ahad.

Khairy berkata kejayaan itu membuktikan atlet negara mempunyai semangat yang tinggi dan sentiasa berada dalam keadaan bersedia untuk menghadapi sebarang kejohanan.

"Kejayaan kontinjen negara mencapai sasaran tiga pingat emas pada hari kedua kejohanan harus dibanggakan walaupun temasya itu bukan kejohanan yang disertai oleh seluruh dunia tetapi negara-negara Islam yang mengambil bahagian menghantar atlet kebangsaan mereka," katanya.

Beliau berkata temasya Sukan Perpaduan Islam juga merupakan medan terbaik untuk memberi lebih keyakinan kepada atlet sebelum menghadapi cabaran di Myanmar.

"Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) tidak hanya menghantar atlet ke Palembang semata-mata untuk menyertai kejohanan ini sebaliknya lebih daripada itu iaitu sebagai pentas persediaan atlet sebelum menghadapi cabaran Sukan SEA Myanmar," katanya.

Khairy berkata beliau berharap skuad renang negara dan sukan lain mampu meraih lebih banyak pingat lagi esok sebagai bonus.

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 ...
