Prestasi Pemain Badminton Kebangsaan Semakin Merosot - Zolkples

KUALA LUMPUR, 27 Okt (Bernama) -- Kemerosotan prestasi pemain badminton negara perlu diberi perhatian serius oleh Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) bagi menghadapi Sukan Komanwel di Glasgow, Scotland dan Sukan Asia di Incheon, Korea Selatan, tahun depan.

Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) Datuk Seri Zolkples Embong berkata beliau bimbang dengan prestasi pemain negara yang tidak menyerlah dalam beberapa kejohanan antarabangsa sejak kebelakangan ini.

Beliau berkata jurulatih perseorangan Rashid Sidek dan Tey Seu Bock perlu menilai semula serta memperbaiki prestasi jaguh negara Datuk Lee Chong Wei.

"Pada Sukan Komanwel 2010, skuad badminton menyumbang lima emas, semestinya kita mahu mereka mengulangi pencapaian itu di Glasgow," katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui pada Kejohanan Ragbi Alumni Sekolah Alam Shah (ASAS RC) di Stadium Mini, German Malaysia Institute (GMI), Bangi, dekat sini, Ahad.

Pada kejohanan Terbuka Denmark (15-20 Okt) dan dan Terbuka Perancis yang berakhir hari ini, pemain negara memberikan aksi kurang memberangsangkan terutamanya tonggak utama negara, Chong Wei dan Liew Daren.

Pada pusingan separuh akhir Terbuka Perancis semalam, Chong Wei diketepikan oleh pemain Jepun, Kenichi Tago dengan keputusan 21-17, 16-21, 12-21.

Chong Wei, selaku pemain nombor satu dunia, juga tewas kepada Chen Long dari China pada final Terbuka Denmark dengan kekalahan straight set 22-24 dan 19-21.

Daren pula kalah kepada pemain veteran dari Thailand, Boonsak Ponsana dengan keputusan 21-15, 15-21, 19-21 pada pusingan pertama Terbuka Perancis.

Pada Terbuka Denmark, Daren menarik diri pada perlawanan pusingan pertama menentang pemain India, P. Kashyap kerana kakinya bengkak.

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 ...
