Skuad Wanita Negara Akhiri Cabaran Pada Kejohanan Badminton Dunia 2014


Beregu wanita negara, Lee Meng Yean dan Lim Yin Loo


COPENHAGEN, 28 Ogos (Bernama) -- Skuad wanita negara mempamerkan aksi hambar apabila menamatkan cabaran lebih awal pada Kejohanan Badminton Dunia BWF 2014 di Ballerup Super Arena, di sini, Rabu.

Pada saingan pusingan kedua, tiada seorang pun wakil negara yang berjaya melangkah ke pusingan berikutnya selepas kalah kepada lawan masing-masing.

Beregu Lee Meng Yean dan Lim Yin Loo memulakan hari malang skuad negara selepas kalah 7-21, 15-21 kepada pilihan kelapan yang merupakan pasangan kembar, Luo Ying dan Luo Yu dari China.

Langkah longlai skuad wanita berterusan selepas perseorangan utama negara, Tee Jing Yi tewas 18-21, 21-16 dan 10-21

kepada pilihan kesembilan, Carolina Marin dari Sepanyol.

Pasangan adik beradik, Ng Hui Ern dan Ng Hui Lin pula nyata bukan tandingan bagi pilihan ke-14 dari Belanda, Eefje Muskens dan Selena Piek selepas kecundang 17-21 dan 20-22.

Dua lagi beregu wanita negara -- Amelia Alicia Anscelly dan Soong Fie Cho serta Vivian Hoo Kah Mun dan Woon Khe Wei turut tersungkur kepada lawan masing-masing.

Amelia dan Soong tewas mudah 14-21 dan 16-21 kepada pilihan keempat yang juga beregu kelapan dunia, Yu Yang dan Wang Xiaoli dari China manakala Vivian dan Hoo memberikan saingan sengit sebelum kalah kepada pilihan ke-15, yang juga pemain tuan rumah, Line Damkjaer Kruse dan Marie Roepke dengan 16-21, 21-11 dan 10-21.

Harapan Malaysia pada kejohanan ini kini disandarkan kepada jaguh perseorangan negara, Datuk Lee Chong Wei serta Hoon Thien How/Tan Wee Kiong dan Koo Kien Kiat/Tan Boon Heong dalam acara beregu lelaki.

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...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

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...
