Jurulatih Tahu Kemampuan Atlet, Kata Naim

KUALA LUMPUR, 4 Dis (Bernama) -- Atlet pelapis kebangsaan sepatutnya mencuba dahulu bidang atau kategori yang disyorkan jurulatih mereka dan bukannya menunjukkan 'protes' dengan menarik diri daripada skuad kebangsaan.

Timbalan Presiden Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM), Datuk Naim Mohamad berkata jurulatih selalunya mempunyai penilaian dan pandangan tertentu terhadap kebolehan atlet di bawah seliaan mereka.

Malah, katanya keputusan atau pilihan yang dibuat oleh jurulatih itu juga adalah demi kepentingan atlet dan sukan berbasikal.

"Hanya jurulatih yang tahu kebolehan, kemampuan, taraf dan kedudukan seseorang atlet itu.

"Mungkin di peringkat kebangsaan dan negeri, dia cemerlang tapi di peringkat antarabangsa tidak mempunyai keputusan yang baik dan lebih baik dalam acara lain," katanya kepada Bernama.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditemui selepas majlis penyerahan basikal tandem sempena acara 'Pagi Bebas Kenderaan Kuala Lumpur' di Menara Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) Khamis.

Menurut Naim, atlet terbabit tidak perlu berasa kecewa sebaliknya mencuba dahulu acara baharu, dan jika didapati pencapaian tidak membanggakan beliau kemungkinan boleh kembali ke acara kegemarannya.

Naim mengulas mengenai tindakan seorang atlet pelapis sukan berbasikal negara mengambil keputusan keluar daripada skuad kebangsaan ekoran nama beliau tidak dipilih mengikuti latihan di Melbourne, Australia.

Difahamkan, tindakan atlet terbabit disebabkan kecewa kerana ketua jurulatih negara, John Beasley memindahkannya daripada pasukan pecut iaitu acara kegemarannya ke acara lasak yang berpangkalan di Kuala Lumpur.

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...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9. Abdullah said he was aware that competition in sports was very keen and challenging but this did not mean that Malaysian athletes were incapable of competing at the international level.

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...
