Skuad Renang Lengkapan Sasaran Tiga Pingat Emas Sukan Perpaduan Islam


PALEMBANG, 24 Sept (Bernama) -- Atlet renang kebangsaan Yap See Tuan dan Yap Siew Hui melengkapkan sasaran tiga pingat emas negara pada hari kedua temasya Sukan Perpaduan Islam selepas masing-masing menyumbang satu pingat emas di Pusat Akuatik Jakabaring di sini Selasa.

Malaysia sebelum ini meletakkan sasaran tiga pingat emas iaitu dua menerusi sukan renang dan satu daripada sukan karate. Pingat emas pertama negara disumbangkan atlet skuad karate negara Lim Chee Wei dalam acara Kata individu lelaki, semalam.

Yap See Tuan menjuarai acara 200 meter kuak dada lelaki dengan catatan masa 2:18.16's dengan kelebihan satu saat di hadapan pemenang pingat perak, Mohamed Gadallh dari Mesir dengan catatan 2:20.17's.

Pingat gangsa bagi acara tersebut menjadi milik perenang Turki, Alpkan Ornek dengan catatan masa 2:20.89's.

Perenang kelahiran Kuantan, Pahang itu berkata beliau merasa gembira dengan kejayaan hari ini dan menyifatkanya sebagai pengalaman berguna sebelum menghadapi Sukan SEA di Myanmar pada pertengahan Disember ini.

"Saya tidak sangka dapat sumbang pingat emas hari ini kerana pada mulanya saya hanya membuat sasaran pingat tanpa mengira warna namun segalanya berubah dengan baik hari ini," katanya kepada Bernama.

Beliau berharap mampu menambah sebutir lagi pingat tanpa mengira warna pada 100m kuak dada lelaki esok.

Katanya selepas ini beliau akan meneruskan latihan bagi menghadapi Sukan SEA di Myanmar pada Disember ini walaupun senarai akhir atlet renang belum dikeluarkan oleh persatuan.

"Saya harap nama saya akan tersenarai untuk ke Sukan SEA nanti," katanya.

Sementara itu, Yap Siew Hui meraih pingat emas menerusi acara 100 meter kuak kupu-kupu wanita dengan catatan masa 1:02.19's.

Pingat perak dan gangsa bagi acara tersebut menjadi milik perenang dari Turki, Esra Kubra Kacmaz dengan catatan masa 1:02.60s dan rakan sepasukan Ayse Yazici (1:04.02's).

Siew Hui berkata beliau tidak pernah terfikir untuk meraih pingat emas hari ini dan kejayaan tersebut adalah satu bonus buat dirinya.

"Saya rasa gembira kerana dapat menang hari ini dan harap dapat mengekalkan kejayaan yang sama di Myanmar nanti," katanya.

Skuad renang negara turut menyumbang dua pingat perak hari ini menerusi Khoo Cai Lin yang beraksi dalam acara 200m gaya bebas wanita dan Nadia Adriana Redza Goh menerusi acara 400 meter gaya bebas wanita.

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...

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...
