Lela waspada


Kuala Lumpur: Kesakitan akibat kecederaan lutut kiri memaksa ratu terjun negara Pandelela Riong untuk lebih berhati-hati dalam setiap terjunan dilakukan.

Pemenang pingat gangsa Sukan Olimpik London itu kini memberi lebih tumpuan kepada terjunan berbanding meraih pingat dalam usahanya layak ke Sukan Olimpik Rio tahun depan.

Mengulas kegagalan membawa pulang pingat pada Kejohanan Terjun Siri Dunia FINA 2015 di Beijing dan Dubai, Pandelela berkata, dia hanya fokus pada terjunan.

“Kecederaan saya semakin pulih namun ada kalanya masih sakit tapi ia terkawal,” katanya.
Atlet kelahiran Sarawak itu gagal berada dalam kelompok tiga terbaik dua siri pertama kejohanan dunia itu namun dia masih berpeluang menghadiahkan pingat pada siri ketiga di Kazan, Russia 24-26 April ini, London (1-3 Mei), Windsor Kanada (22-24 Mei) dan Merida, Mexico (29-31 Mei).

Pandelela, 22, mengalami kecederaan lutut kiri ketika menjalani latihan di Guangzhou, China, sebulan sebelum beraksi di Sukan Komanwel di Glasgow, Scotland, Ogos lalu.

Pada temasya itu dia sekadar meraih pingat perak dalam acara kegemarannya 10m platform individu dan gangsa 10m platform seirama bersama Nur Dhabitah Sabri.

Di Sukan Asia Incheon pula, dia memenangi pingat gangsa acara 10m platform seirama bergandingan dengan Leong Mun Yee.

Pandelela yang akan beraksi pada temasya Sukan SEA Singapura Jun ini dijangka tidak berdepan masalah membawa pulang pingat emas. Dia mengekalkan penguasaan Sukan SEA acara 10m platform individu dan seirama sejak 2007 di Thailand, 2009 (Laos), 2011 (Palembang) dan 2013 (Myanmar).

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...

Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob (centre) speaks to athletes after giving away the Olympic qualifying incentives in Putrajaya yesterday. — Pic: RAMDZAN MASIAM Thomas Cup Equally Important, Says Ismail PUTRAJAYA, April 23 (Bernama) -- Although Malaysia want badly a badminton gold at the Beijing Olympics in August, winning the Thomas Cup in Jakarta in May is equally important, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob. "My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992. "Statements made that the Beijing Olympics takes precedence over other events is not the position of the ministry," he told reporters at his office here today. Ismail said no matter what events Malaysians competed, seeking glory for the nation should be the overriding priority. He said this when asked to comment on remarks by national badminton chief coach Yap Kim Hock on...
