Program Podium Ke Arah Hadapi Sukan Olimpik 2020


KUALA LUMPUR, 12 Feb (Bernama) -- Program Podium melibatkan atlet terbaik negara adalah program pembangunan dan persediaan atlet untuk menghadapi Sukan Olimpik 2020 di Tokyo, Jepun, dan merupakan program lanjutan kepada projek 'Road to Rio', kata Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Khairy Jamaluddin.

Beliau berkata atlet yang terpilih untuk menyertai program di bawah seliaan Institut Sukan Negara (ISN) itu akan dilayan seperti bintang sukan dunia dengan semua keperluan fizikal mereka diuruskan sepenuhnya.

"Program Podium ini tidak melibatkan jumlah atlet yang ramai dan ia juga bukan tertumpu kepada 19 jenis sukan teras. Kita akan masukkan mana-mana atlet daripada bukan sukan teras yang dilihat mampu menaikkan nama di peringkat dunia.

"Mereka ini merupakan atlet terpilih dan kumpulan terpilih. Kalau berjaya masuk program ini, mereka akan dilayan se[perti juara dunia,"katanya kepada pemberita selepas membentangkan Modul Sukan Baharu Malaysia, di sini Khamis.

Katanya pihaknya masih menaruh harapan bahawa skuad badminton negara yang berada dalam program 'Road to Rio' mampu menjadi sandaran penyumbang pingat emas utama negara pada Sukan Olimpik 2016 di Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Bagaimanapun, Khairy berkata kemampuan Malaysia untuk meraih lebih pingat emas pada temasya Olimpik di Brazil masih samar namun menaruh keyakinan tinggi bahawa Malaysia berpeluang cerah meraih emas di Tokyo sekiranya program Podium ini dilaksanakan mengikut perancangan.

"Jelas kita mempunyai peluang yang lebih baik di Tokya kerana pada masa itu, pelaksanaan program Podium lebih matang. Kalau kita ambil tempoh yang singkat, contohnya ke Rio, peluang dan harapan pingat emas masih terletak kepada badminton.

"Saya tidak fikir ada potensi emas dalam sukan lain di Rio buat masa sekarang kecuali atlet mempamerkan prestasi yang luar biasa," katanya.

Khairy berkata program Podium merupakan sebuah program yang dirangka, diperinci dan dilaksanakan ISN yang terkandung dalam modul sukan baharu Malaysia di bawah penstrukturan semula Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) dan ISN.

Atlet-atlet terpilih di bawah program itu akan dibantu dengan rapi dari segi pemakanan, latihan, kemudahan, sains sukan dan kejurulatihan yang dirangka spesifik untuk setiap atlet dan kumpulan.

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 ...
