30 Minit Untuk Chong Wei Mara Ke Pusingan Ketiga



COPENHAGEN, 28 Ogos (Bernama) -- Datuk Lee Chong Wei memperagakan aksi pemanas badan untuk melangkah ke pusingan ketiga Kejohanan Badminton Dunia BWF 2014 di sini, Rabu.

Pemain nombor satu dunia itu hanya mengambil masa 30 minit untuk menyingkirkan pemain bukan pilihan berusia 26 tahun, Dieter Domke, dari Jerman dengan keputusan 21-12 dan 21-9.

Chong Wei, yang memburu gelaran sulung pada kejohanan dunia, akan menentang pemain Ireland, Scott Evans, pada pusingan ketiga esok.

Evans, pemain nombor 49 dunia, menempah tiket ke pusingan ketiga selepas mengalahkan pemain Austria, David Obernosterer, 21-7 dan 21-18.

Chong Wei dijangka tidak menghadapi masalah untuk melangkah ke suku akhir dan dijangka akan berdepan dengan pilihan keenam, Zhengming Wang dari China.

Zhengming turut melepasi pusingan kedua dengan mengetepikan pemain Czech, Petr Koukai, 21-15, 19-21, 21-7 untuk berdepan dengan pemain Hong Hong, Nan Wei.

Selepas saingan hari ini, Chong Wei berkata beliau tidak memandang rendah lawannya yang mempunyai ranking lebih rendah dan sebalik menganggap kesemua pencabarnya mampu memberi tentangan sengit pada kejohanan ini.

"Bagi saya, semua lawan adalah kuat macam pemain Korea Selatan (Lee Dong Keun) pada pusingan pertama. Orang cakap saya boleh menang ke atas pemain lain, namun saya anggap mereka mampu berikan cabaran," katanya.

Selepas tidak beraksi selama dua bulan ekoran kecederaan pangkal paha, Chong Wei berkata beliau mahu mendapat semula rentak permainan dengan cepat.

Mengenai pertemuan dengan Evans, katanya, beliau tidak memandang rendah kemampuan pemain itu walaupun menang kesemua tiga pertemuan sebelum ini.

"Persembahan saya juga belum mencapai tahap terbaik seperti yang ditunjukkan sebelum ini...Mahu angkat bulu tangkis pun agak takut dan saya harap lebih berani pada aksi selepas ini," kata anak jati Pulau Pinang itu.

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 ...
