YOG 2014: Loh Seakan Tidak Percaya Berjaya Raih Satu Lagi Pingat


NANJING, 25 Ogos (Bernama) -- Atlet terjun remaja negara, Loh Zhiayi seakan tidak percaya apabila berjaya menyumbang sebutir lagi pingat kepada kontinjen negara pada Temasya Sukan Olimpik Remaja (YOG 2014).

Loh meraih pingat gangsa dalam acara 3m papan anjal individu wanita yang berlangsung di Nanjing Olimpic Sport Centre Natatorium dekat sini hari ini.

Atlet itu mengumpul 446.70 mata dengan perbezaan 12.4 mata di belakang pemenang pingat perak, Krasnoshlyk Ganna dari Ukraine dengan 459.10 mata.

Pingat emas menjadi milik penerjun China, Wu Shengping dengan catatan 492.05 mata untuk mengatasi 11 penerjun lain.

Pada Sabtu, Loh menyumbang pingat perak apabila berjaya mengungguli acara 10m platform individu wanita.

"Semua penerjun lain bermula dengan lebih baik, namun mereka mula banyak melakukan kesilapan pada pusingan akhir dan membuka peluang untuk saya membaiki kedudukan.

"Saya rebut dan guna sebaik mungkin peluang tersebut sehingga berjaya meletakkan diri di tempat ketiga terbaik," katanya kepada Bernama.

Loh berkata beliau tidak pernah terfikir untuk meraih pingat kedua peribadinya hari ini, namun berasa gembira kerana dapat menyumbang sesuatu kepada negara.

Penerjun berusia 16 tahun itu berkata beliau tidak berani untuk meletakkan sebarang sasaran pingat untuk acara berpasukan antarabangsa pada Rabu ini.

"Saya tidak boleh cakap lagi...sebab tidak tahu akan berganding dengan penerjun dari negara mana, kalau digandingkan dengan penerjun dari negara hebat maka peluang untuk meraih pingat adalah lebih cerah," katanya.

Loh berkata beliau sangat gembira dengan kejayaan hari ini dan berterima kasih kepada Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) dan Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) kerana memberi peluang kepadanya untuk beraksi pada YOG 2014 walaupun pada awalnya gagal melepasi kelayakan ke temasya sukan remaja terbesar dunia itu.

Beliau layak ke YOG 2014 selepas memperoleh kedudukan ke-10 terbaik pada Kejohanan Kelayakan YOG di Mexico Mac lalu.

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 ...
