KOM Hantar Kertas Cadangan Kepada MOM Mengenai Penganjuran MIM 2015

KUALA LUMPUR, 27 Jan (Bernama) -- Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM) akan menghantar satu kertas cadangan kepada Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) mengenai Marathon Antarabangsa Malaysia (MIM) 2015 yang penganjurannya masih belum menemui jalan penyelesaian sehingga kini.

Ketua Pengarah, Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Ahmad Shapawi Ismail berkata beliau telah dimaklumkan oleh Presiden KOM, Datuk Karim Ibrahim bahawa mereka akan berbuat demikian sebagai cara penyelesaian selepas MOM dilaporkan tetap berkeras untuk menggunakan nama asal.

"Ia memandangkan KOM merupakan anggota gabungan MOM...Saya dimaklumkan mereka (KOM) akan menghantar kertas cadangan itu dalam tempoh terdekat dan saya akan biarkan perkara ini diselesaikan oleh mereka.

"Terpulang kepada MOM sama ada mahu melihat cadangan berkenaan atau tidak," kata Ahmad Shapawi kepada pemberita selepas menhadiri mesyuarat bersama KOM di sini hari ini.

Karim sebelum ini bertegas bahawa KOM tidak akan mengiktiraf acara itu kerana mendakwa ia bertentangan dengan peraturan Persekutuan Olahraga Antarabangsa (IAAF) yang mensyaratkan mana-mana kejohanan olahraga perlu mendapat sokongan badan induk olahraga sesebuah negara.

Acara itu yang dijadual berlangsung 23 dan 24 Mei ini di Stadium Batu Kawan, Pulau Pinang dengan hadiah keseluruhan RM350,000 dianjurkan buat julung kalinya oleh MOM dengan matlamat mengutip dana bagi membantu persatuan sukan kebangsaan yang menghadapi kekangan kewangan.

Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pemasaran dan Penajaan MOM pada minggu lepas membuat pusingan U dengan memutuskan untuk mengekalkan nama asal kerana mendakwa ia sesuai sebagai strategi pemasaran penaja larian tersebut.

Presiden MOM, Tan Sri Tunku Imran Tuanku Ja'afar pada 13 Jan lepas dilaporkan bercadang menukar nama MIM kepada Larian Jambatan Tuanku Abdul Halim setelah mendapat bantahan awal daripada KOM.

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. "Cycling, though not as popular here as in countries like Denmark, the activity is becoming popular among the people as can be seen through an increase in sale of bicycles for recreation," he sa...

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 ...
