Cai Lin lega masalah pusat akuatik selesai



Kuala Lumpur: Perenang senior negara, Khoo Cai Lin gembira apabila segala permasalahan di Pusat Akuatik Nasional, Bukit Jalil sudah diselesaikan.

Bagaimanapun, pengubahsuaian tandas awam sedikit mengganggu keselesaan perenang negara yang berlatih di pusat itu.

Katanya, pengubahsuaian tandas awam menyebabkan orang ramai menggunakan tandas atlet sehingga mengundang beberapa masalah antaranya kotor dan paip air di bilik mandi ada kalanya tidak berfungsi.

Namun itu hanya masalah kecil dan tidak mengganggu tumpuan atlet renang negara menjalani latihan, bagaimanapun pemenang pingat emas 800m gaya bebas Sukan SEA Myanmar berharap masalah itu dapat diselesaikan segera.

“Saya cuma harap masalah itu dapat diselesaikan segera kerana biarpun kecil, agak mengganggu juga,” katanya yang yakin mampu melepasi syarat kelayakan ke Sukan SEA Singapura Jun ini.

Cai Lin antara perenang harapan negara untuk membawa pulang pingat dalam acara renang dan akan ke Terbuka Sydney sebelum menyertai Terbuka Malaysia dalam usaha untuk melayakkan diri.

Sebelum ini kesemua atlet renang dan terjun negara yang menggunakan Pusat Akuatik Nasional, Bukit Jalil memohon agar pusat itu dinaikkan taraf serta dibaiki pulih.

Terdahulu pusat akuatik berdepan masalah sejak 2012 apabila masalah penyelenggaraan terutama aspek lampu banyak menyusahkan atlet yang mahu menjalani latihan di pusat itu terutama membabitkan latihan sesi pagi.

Bukan hanya lampu namun ketiadaan kemudahan mandian air panas, bilik menyimpan pakaian kurang selesa serta beberapa kemudahan lain, turut memberi kesan kepada mereka yang menjalani latihan di situ setiap hari.

Perkara itu turut mengundang rasa tidak puas hati jurulatih renang negara, Paul Birmingham.

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 ...
