Zulfahmi Raih Satu Mata Di Grand Prix Argentina

KUALA LUMPUR, 28 April (Bernama) -- Penunggang Moto3 kebangsaan Muhammad Zulfahmi Khairuddin mengutip satu mata melalui perlumbaan ketiganya di Grand Prix Argentina.

Penunggang Ongetta-Air Asia itu menamatkan perlumbaan di tempat ke-15 dengan catatan masa 39 minit 12.575 saat di Termas de Rio Hondo Circuit.

Penunggang Itali Romano Fenati daripada pasukan Sky Racing muncul juara dengan catatan masa 38:34.451, diikuti penunggang pasukan Estrella Galicia 0,0 Alex Marquez dari Sepanyol dengan masa 38:34.550s, manakala penunggang Australia Jack Miller daripada pasukan Red Bull KTM Ajo menduduki tempat ketiga (38:34.991s).

"Saya tidak memulakan perlumbaan dengan baik. Banyak yang perlu dibuat terhadap keadaan motosikal dan kaedah menunggang, tapi pasukan kami bekerja keras untuk memastikan semuanya berjalan baik," katanya.

Sementara itu, seorang lagi penunggang Moto3 kebangsaan Hafiq Azmi daripada pasukan SIC-Ajo menduduki tempat ke-16 dalam perlumbaan itu dengan catatan masa 39:13.061s.

"Perlumbaan ini jauh lebih baik daripada perlumbaan sebelumnya. Saya memulakan perlumbaan dengan baik dan cuba berada dalam kumpulan yng disertai Bastianini (Junior Team GO&FUN Moto3). Bagaimanapun, saya perlu bersaing dengan Scott Deroue (RW Racing GP), Zulfahmi dan beberapa penunggang lain dalam kumpulan itu.

"Saya cuba memisahkan diri, tapi sukar. Akhirnya, saya dapati susah untuk mengikut rentak kumpulan itu dan perlu memecut selaju-lajunya dan ini mendorong saya melakukan kesilapan pada pusingan kedua sebelum tamat perlumbaan, yang menyebabkan saya tidak meraih sebarang mata. Bagaimanapun, saya gembira dengan tempat ke-16 itu," kata Hafiq.

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...

"My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992.

Ismail said no matter what events Malaysians competed, seeking glory for the nation should be the overriding priority. He said this when asked to comment on remarks by national badminton chief coach Yap Kim Hock on...
