Chong Wei Optimis Skuad Badminton Mampu Mengulangi Kejayaan Pada Sukan Komanwel


KUALA LUMPUR, 1 Julai (Bernama) -- Jaguh badminton negara Datuk Lee Chong Wei optimis skuad badminton negara mampu mengulangi kejayaan cemerlang pada temasya Sukan Komanwel di Glasgow, Scotland pada 23 Julai-3 Ogos ini.

Chong Wei berkata skuad negara perlu mempamerkan aksi kompetetif walaupun menyedari pasukan badminton tidak berdepan masalah untuk bersaing dengan negara- negara Komanwel yang lain.

"Empat tahun lepas di New Delhi, pasukan negara meraih keputusan terbaik, jadi saya harap pada kali ini skuad negara mampu meraih lebih banyak pingat emas kepada negara.

"Saya lihat prestasi beregu campuran dan beregu lelaki semakin kuat, mereka berpeluang untuk meraih pingat begitu juga dengan pemain perseorangan wanita negara," katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui di Kafe Atlet, Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) di sini Selasa malam.

Terdahulu skuad Piala Thomas negara menerima Skim Hadiah Kemenangan Sukan (Shakam) RM8,000 setiap seorang yang disampaikan oleh Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin.

Selain Chong Wei turut menerima insentif tersebut ialah Chong Wei Feng, Liew Daren, Goh Soon Huat, Tan Boon Heong, Hoon Thien How, Tan Wee Kiong, Goh V Shem, Lim Khim Wah dan Chan Peng Soon.

Untuk rekod, skuad negara meraih empat pingat emas dan satu pingat perak pada Sukan Komanwel empat tahun lepas di New Delhi, India.

Chong Wei yang merupakan pemain badminton nombor satu negara dijadual menyertai Kejohanan Dunia di Denmark pada 25-31 Ogos ini sebelum menyertai Sukan Asia di Incheon, Korea Selatan pada 19 Sept-4 Okt.

Katanya jadual padat sepanjang tahun ini merupakan cabaran besar yang perlu diharungi supaya lebih konsisten untuk meraih keputusan yang baik dan cemerlang.

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.

Sports press clippings on the 24 April 2008

Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob (centre) speaks to athletes after giving away the Olympic qualifying incentives in Putrajaya yesterday. — Pic: RAMDZAN MASIAM Thomas Cup Equally Important, Says Ismail PUTRAJAYA, April 23 (Bernama) -- Although Malaysia want badly a badminton gold at the Beijing Olympics in August, winning the Thomas Cup in Jakarta in May is equally important, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob. "My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992. "Statements made that the Beijing Olympics takes precedence over other events is not the position of the ministry," he told reporters at his office here today. 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...
