Chong Wei, disaran berusaha keras, ikut jejak langkah Nicol

Saya adalah peminat badminton dan sentiasa mengikuti perkembangan badminton negara kita. Saya ingin memberi komen mengenai pemain nombor 1 Malaysia/dunia kini, Lee Chong Wei. Adakah layak diberi status nombor satu dunia? 

Bagi saya, dia tidak layak lagi memegang takhta itu. Beliau berada di "ranking" itu disebabkan jumlah penyertaan yang membantunya mengumpul jumlah mata rangking. Bagi saya, status berkenaan milik Lin Dan, pemain nombor satu China kerana memenangi banyak kejohanan seperti Kejohanan Dunia, Sukan Olimpik, Piala Thomas, Piala Sudirman dan sebagainya.

Sungguhpun Lin Dan mempunyai sikap "angkuh" beliau sentiasa berusaha dan sentiasa maju jika kita bandingkan dengan Chong Wei. Setiap kejohanan utama, seperti Kejohanan Dunia. Kita mengharapkan kejayaan cemerlang tetapi malangnya Chong Wei tidak mampu menampung beban dan tanggungjawab yang dipikulnya.

Sebaliknya, beliau lebih kerap memenangi kejohanan yang berfrofil rendah. Setiap kekalahan akan diikuti dengan "alasan" yang kerap didengari, Misbun Sidek pernah memberi komen bahawa Chong Wei dalam keadaan "sejuk" selepas kekalahan di kejohanan dunia tahun ini.

Baru-baru ini, di Kejohanan Terbuka Jepun, Chong Wei memberi komen bahawa beliau mengalami kesakitan di lutut kiri yang menimpanya semenjak tiga tahun lalu. Kalau sakit, ubati kesakitan itu dengan segera dan buatlah latihan secukupnya untuk kembali cergas dan maju.

Negara kita cukup dengan kemudahan moden dan pakar untuk mengatasi masalah ini. Bukan sentiasa memberi alasan demi alasan. Banyak kemudahan dan insentif yang diberikan pihak kerajaan. Pihak swasta dan korporat juga datang membantu menawarkan kontrak untuk menaja barangan mereka.

Ikuti jejak langkal Nicol Ann David. Kejayaan dicipta di setiap kejohanan utama dan setiap kekalahan diambil terbuka dan profesional. Kita boleh lihat pencapaian dan komitmen Nicol. Setiap kekalahan, beliau akan berusaha keras untuk akan datang.

Nicol menjadi pemain nombor satu wanita dunia untuk tiga tahun berturut-turut dan memang menjadi kebanggaan Malaysia. Kita harapkan sukan squash dapat dimasukkan pada Sukan Olimpik pada masa akan datang.

Saya harap pihak tertentu akan turut serta membantu Chong Wei mengatasi masalah beliau dan sudah tiba masanya kita mempunyai pemain pelapis badminton yang setaraf dengan pemain China. Kalau China mempunyai pelapis yang sehandal pemain utama, kenapa kita tidak ada?

Janganlah cuma mengharapkan sekelompok pemain saja yang mungkin tidak menjamin kejayaan, lebih-lebih lagi harapan menggunung pada Sukan Olimpik di London.

TAN WEI KIM

Pulau Pinang.

Nicol David merangkul Kejuaraan Terbuka Dunia (WWO) buat kali keempat.

Kejayaan ratu skuasy negara, Nicol David merangkul Kejuaraan Terbuka Dunia (WWO) buat kali keempat kelmarin menunjukkan dia semakin matang dalam permainannya. 

Nicol, pemain nombor satu dunia itu yang yang tersingkir pada suku akhir Terbuka British dua minggu lalu terpaksa bekerja keras untuk melepasi halangan pada pusingan suku dan separuh akhir sebelum semangat juang tinggi berjaya menjulangnya untuk bangkit mencatat kemenangan ke atas lawannya di final, Natalie Grinham dari Belanda. 

Nicol yang tewas set pertama 3-11 berjaya menjinakkan Natalie pada tiga set berikutnya untuk melengkapkan saat gemilangnya untuk dirinya dengan kemenangan 11-6, 11-3 dan 11-8 dalam masa 51 minit. 

Kemenangan itu menyaksikan Nicol mencipta sejarah menjadi pemain ketiga untuk meraih kejuaraan WWO sebanyak empat kali di samping pemain New Zealand, Susan Devoy yang memenanginya pada 1985, 1987, 1990 dan 1992 serta Sarah Fitz-Gerald dari Australia yang menjuarainya sebanyak lima kali pada 1996, 1997, 1998, 2001 dan 2002. 

Pemain kelahiran Pulau Pinang itu jelas gembira dengan kemenangannya dan masih tidak percaya berjaya merangkul empat kejuaraan WWO. 

“Untuk bangkit semula daripada kekalahan minggu lepas, kemenangan minggu ini amat menggembirakan saya. Saya masih tidak mempercayainya. Empat gelaran juara,” katanya seperti dipetik daripada laman web www.womenworldopen.com. 

Jurulatih Nicol, Liz Irving menyifatkan anak buahnya itu telah bermain dengan baik dan berjaya merencanakan segala strategi yang ditentukan. 

“Tahniah Nicol, anda telah bermain dengan baik untuk menjulang kejuaraan WWO buat kali keempat dan saya amat bangga,” katanya dalam laman Twitter

For the Study Tour Project 2008, two male participants were sent. As such, for the 2009 Study Tour Project, the OCM Executive Board decided to send 2 women.

The National Olympic Academy (NOA) of Malaysia

The OCM Executive Board at its 4th meeting approved the expanded scope and structure of the NOA of Malaysia. A abstract of the proposals are produced below.

Vision

To be a centre of excellence for sports education, training and human resource development in accordance with the ideals and aspirations of the Olympic movement and the values of Olympism.

Mission

To develop and nurture knowledgeable, skilled and ethical human resources for sports and the Olympic community through quality sports education and training. To develop, manage, organize, coordinate and monitor programmes and activities as well as provide resources, expertise and opportunities for individuals and sports organization to grow, develop and enhance themselves.

Aims

To design, develop, manage, coordinate and monitor sports education and training programmes of the Olympic Council of Malaysia. To provide opportunities for personal and organizational growth, development and enhancement in sports management and related disciplines for members of the Olympic community and its associates. 

Organizational Structure

• OCM Board 
  
• Academy Board headed by a Vice President 
  
• Director OCM Academy
  
• Associate Consultants & Programme Directors (Universities, Colleges, Professional Bodies/ Programme Directors of Management Courses)
  
• Facilitators

Programmes:

I National Olympic Academy Programmes.

II Core Training Courses (funded by Olympic Solidarity)

Sports Management from Basic to Advanced 

Sports Administration from Basic to Advanced

Sports Leadership from Basic to Advanced

Sports Coaching from Basic to Advanced

Sports Medicine from Basic to Advanced

III Elective & Seasonal Training Courses

Training of Trainers Programme (Coaches, Technical Officials, Medical officials)

Management of Olympic Sports Facilities & Equipment

Sports medicine 

Technical Courses

ICT for Olympic Sports

Olympism

Sports, Education and Culture

Sports Science

Sports Law

Family and Olympic Sports

Leadership & Management for Contingent Managers, Officials and Volunteers

Sport for All

IV Seminars, Conferences, Conventions, Exhibitions

The Core Training Courses are those funded by Olympic Solidarity and OCM has been organizing these courses for more than 20 years. These courses are practical or applied courses conducted by trained and experienced experts, appointed by Olympic Solidarity and the International Sports Federations. These courses are most beneficial to the staff and coaches (volunteers and paid), of the National Sports Associations and OCM. 

As for the elective and seasonable training courses will be organized based on needs and demands. These courses will have a lower priority as the availability of funds, unlike the Core Training Courses, are not assured. The same principle applies for the organization of seminars, conferences, conventions and exhibitions. 

OCM is aware that Malaysian universities and colleges, the National Sports Council, the Institute of Sports, and there are many other sports bodies, are also organizing and conducting sports management, sports science, coaching course. However, the scopes and objectives of these courses are quite different from those courses conducted by the universities and other organizations. The main difference being the courses to be organized by the NOA are practical courses to train officers and staff of NSAs, to improve their work performance in their respective organizations. 

Celoteh Kepten Shafari - Selamat Hari Raya

Kepten Shafari

Hi frens...

raya is another 7 days to go. I am looking forward to meet all my nephews and nieces... you never expect them to grow that fast. I have 32 of them!! But it is really fun to have them around especially most of them are about 7-12 yrs old. The small ones are ..sometimes make us to be 'geram', and the cubby and cute ones..sure to cry when they are with me.. kena gomol gomol....

EPL... yeah... something to talk about. MU won against Spurs and Manchester City hit 4 past Arsenal! I saw both matches and what a night!! MCity played without Robinho and Tevez and yet they were good. MU needs to buy another striker cos they are very strong at midfield and at the back 4. Bebatov need to train harder. Liverfool... I reserve my comments yet.

Dato Nicol lost in British Open. It is sad but I think there is something good in losing... to make us realise that she is still human after all. Just like Nadal and Serena in US open... yeah they are not robots!

Malaysia beat Lesotho 5-0!! Congratulations FAM!! Malaysia is now world beaters!! Fu^$# &*^%!! Kan&&^%$#$#!! Pun%^$#!! Just kick out all those idiots who have overstayed in FAM. Dont cheat us anymore with all those wayang kulit and when it comes to Laos Sea Games... Malaysia to lose to Brunei or Cambodia. This is all cerita lama lor..

Famemas EXCOs... RM2000 for Laos trip is too much lah... I'll better go for Umrah or buy diving suits... so that I can catch mermaids. Even RM800 is toooo much too. Why cant it be less than RM450? Please lah... find some more sponsors... try IRIS Coporation.. they donated alot for YAKEB.

And again... this hari raya I am going back to kampung alone ... tiada teman... my 11th time. I thought I would be by myself (alone) for 3-5 years only but now... I sudah takut mahu kahwin lagi... too old already. Kesian kan saya kan.

Anyway... if any of you were to be around in Jasin, Malacca on 1st and 2nd Raya..... do call me. (012 7345889). I'll be in PD after that..... hehehe ... no lah Razlin... I wont disturb you.

So guys... Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, maaf zahir dan batin.

The Centre, which opened this past February, is both a revved-up chess engine that currently holds Kuala Lumpur Commercial Chess League matches and a friendly social location with a coffeehouse atmosphere. Local coaches frequently hold clinics for their students, and there will soon be a top international grandmaster as an onsite chess coach for players ranging from novices to those seeking international titles. The Centre has already hosted numerous tournaments, including the 2009 National Closed Chess Championship, the 2009 Royal Selangor Open, the 1st National Senior Chess Championship and so on.

Everyone is invited to visit the Centre, play a few games of chess, or simply sit around reading a magazine or newspaper. It is a great place for students to do their homework the company of friends. When the Centre’s food service is in operation, there will be excellent coffee to sip and offerings from an innovative menu. The Centre’s excellent chess library, as well as its books on other subjects, are available for use by all members.
