Singapore Rowing International 2009


Men Pair (M2-) dari Universiti Teknologi Malaysia di posisi no. 1 (Bow Man) Mazlie Daham dan nombor 2 (Facer-Stern Man) Mohd Ridzuan b. Abd Halim. Catatan masa Indoor Rowing terkini mereka untuk 2000m adalah 7:08 dan 7:02. Baru berpasangan dalam acara ini kurang dari sebulan setelah melihat potensi mereka ketika bertanding dalam acara coxless four (M4-) di Kejohanan MASUM di Putrajaya, Mei 2009.

Gandingan atlit unversiti baru dan lama di mana Wan (Mohd Ridzuan) sudah beberapa kali mewakili negara di dalam arena sukan antarabangsa memberi cabaran kepada bakat baru sukan mendayung iaitu Mazlie. Dengan disiplin dan dorongan yang kuat daripada senior, Mazlie menunjukkan peningkatan yang memberangsangkan. Begitu juga sebaliknya di mana Wan terpaksa mempamerkan saingan yang tidak kurang sengit. Kesungguhan mereka mengikuti program latihan yang dikawal bebanannya (intensity) secara sistematik membuahkan hasil.

Kepimpinan dan kesungguhan begitu menonjol pada kedua-dua mereka menjadi teladan kepada krew & teman sepasukan. Di harap mereka dapat mencipta kejayaan demi kejayaan di dalam kejohanan akan datang iaitu SEARF Rowing Championship, Pattaya, Thailand dan Varsity Boat Race, Putrajaya tahun ini. Bersama-sama kita mendoakan kejayaan mereka.

Keputusan terkini pertandingan sukan mendayung antarabangsa di Singapura tahun 2009:

Presiden MOM….

Aku terpanggil untuk menulis berkenaan isu pemilihan presiden MOM yang hangat diperkatakan di dada-dada akhbar dan media elektronik. Sukar untuk aku sembunyikan rasa kurang senang dengan calon yang ghairah mengumpul kedudukan setelah gagal mempertahankan kedudukan politiknya kebelakangan ini.

Seharusnya semua pihak perlu sedar Majlis Olimpik Malaysia perlu bebas dari segala unsur politik dan berkepentingan diri. Bukanlah aku terpengaruh dengan kempen yang lebih memihak Tengku Imran, tetapi sebagai calon kredebiliti anda semasa memegang tampuk persatuan lain menjadi ukuran.

Apa jadi dengan kes gangguan seksual yang menggegarkan KOAM tidak berapa lama dulu? Bagaimana atlit akan rasa terbela atau terjamin dengan hukuman ringan yang dikenakan atas pelakunya? Sekonyong-konyong Noraseela Khalid dilantik sebagai wakil atlit ke mesyuarat persatuan tetapi bak kata orang, rumah sudah siap tapi tukul masih berbunyi. Seolah-olah sekadar menutup bangkai gajah dengan daun pisang. Bangkai tak nampak tapi baunya semerbak ke seluruh kampung.

Aku setuju jika perubahan pimpinan itu untuk menyuburkan idea-idea baru serta perlaksaan jitu. Tetapi apa yang boleh diharapkan selain daripada gelaran datuk? Apakah jasa dan keringat yang pernah dicurahkan? Apakah pengalaman yang boleh ditawarkan?

Cuba pula diteliti objektif penubuhan MOM seperti di bawah:
2.1.2 To be completely independent and autonomous and to resist all pressures of any kind, including those of a political, religions or economic nature.

Sapa yang boleh beri jaminan jika satu lagi pihak itu tidak akan mencampur-adukkan politik dan sukan? Tolong rujuk dan fahamkan 105 mukasurat “The Olympic Charter”.

Belum pun keputusan dicapai tetapi aku rasa aura kegelapan mula meliputi angkasaraya. Hanya hujan lebat yang boleh membersihkan segala noda dan kabut hitam.

Nota: Pandangan di atas adalah pandangan peribadi. Tiada kaitan dengan mana-mana badan atau persatuan. Harap maklum.

Terkini, Datuk Shahidan Kasim menarik diri dari bertanding. Harap mesej yang cuba disampaikan jelas diterima. Kami tidak perlukan politik yang berkepentingan diri dalam pembangunan sukan.

Rowing – the preparation

Rowing needs more training than any other sports.. The passion, the will & the sacrifice. Rowing also defines athlete’s body more than other sports.. The benefit is more, injury is less.. To be perfect in rowing, it takes years of experience & training…
Preparation for competitive rowing is quite different from normal training. The mentality, the physical workout.. the ergo tests & water test… something to be missed when you are out of field.

Competitive rowing : training for it is like pyramid system.. Initially, lots of endurance & aerobic workout.. then intermediate (add some speed) & finally few weeks towards race, pure speed work & short training period…
Also, it requires 3 factors to compliment. Training, nutrition & rest. Failing to have one of these will not do good for the body as well… Hence, we need to plan well & get the best out of it.

The Youth Olympic Games

Singapore to host the 1st Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2010

The Vision
The vision of the Youth Olympic Games is to inspire young people around the world to participate in sport and adopt and live by the Olympic values. It was during its session in Guatemala in July 2007 that the IOC decided to create a nw sporting event to educate, engage and influence young athletes inspiring them to play an active role in their communities.
What are the YOG?
The Youth Olympic Games are a sporting event for young people, balancing sport, education and culture. These Games work as a catalyst in these fields throughout the Olympic Movement.

The YOG’s objectives are:
1. to bring together the world’s best young athletes and celebrate them
2. to offer a unique and powerful introduction to Olympism
3. to innovate in educating and debating Olympic values and challenges of society
4. to share and celebrate the cultures of the world in a festive atmosphere
5. to reach youth communities throughout the world to promote Olympic values
6. to raise sports awareness and participation among young people
7. to act as a platform for initiatives within the Olympic Movement
8. to be an event of the highest international sporting standard.

Who? What? When?
The Youth Olympic Games aim to bring together talented athletes – aged from 14 to 18 – from around the world to participate in high-level competitions, but also, alongside the sports element of the event, to run educational programmes on the Olympic values, the benefits of sport for a healthy lifestyle, the social values sport can deliver and the dangers of doping and of training to excess and/or of inactivity.
The first ever Summer Youth Olympic Games will bring together approximately 3,200 athletes and 800 officials in 2010. The sports programme will encompass all 26 sports on the programme of the 2012 Summer Games, with a limited number of disciplines and events. The first Winter Olympic Youth Games will bring together around 1,000 athletes and 500 officials. The athletes will compete – for the first time in 2012 – in all seven Olympic Winter Sports. The YOG follow the traditional cycle of four years, with Summer Games in 2010, 2014, 2018, etc and Winter Games in 2012, 2016, 2020, etc.

Singapore to host the 1st Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2010
Singapore will host the 1st Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2010. The result of the election based on the cast of 105 IOC members eligible to vote, was unveiled 0n 21 February 2008 by IOC President Jacques Rogge at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.

Nine cities took part in the candidature process that started in August 2007: Athens (Greece), Bangkok (Thailand), Debrecen (Hungary), Guatemala City (Guatemala), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Moscow (Russian Federation), Poznan (Poland), Singapore (Singapore) and Turin (Italy). Singapore beat Moscow in the final by 53 votes to 44.

After the 1st Summer YOG in 2010 come the 1st Winter YOG in 2012
The IOC has already launched the bidding process for the 1st Winter Youth Olympic Games in 2012. A letter was sent out to all National Olympic Committees (NOCs) informing them of the procedure and documentation available for cities interested in bidding for the Games. For more information on the 1st Winter Youth Olympic Games and the bidding process:

JUNIOR: Alam Shah – Perkembangan terkini program

Program junior rowing yang bermula sabtu lepas nampak memberangsangkan. Pelajar-pelajar teruja dapat merasai pengalaman yang berbeza dari yang terhidang di Putrajaya. Perjalanan yang memakan masa selama lebih sejam berbaloi dengan dipenuhi aktiviti-aktiviti yang telah dirancangkan.

Sebanyak 40 peserta hadir. Menurut Cikgu Fadhil, terdapat satu pasukan rumah yang tidak dapat hadir berikutan masalah komunikasi. Beliau memberi jaminan pasukan rumah tersebut akan hadir pada sessi berikutnya.

Sesi pertama jam 10:00AM pada hari Sabtu yang lalu dimulakan dengan teori pengenalan mengenai bot dan peralatan yang dikendalikan oleh Coach Halim dengan dibantu oleh Wan. Manakala, teori teknik asas dan ergometer dikendalikan oleh Mus dan Madjai. Sesi ini berakhir jam 1:00PM untuk makan tengahari.

Pada sebelah petang, praktikal dimulakan seawal jam 2:00PM. Terdapat 4 bot yang digunakan dan 10 kumpulan yang akan turun berganti-ganti. Oleh itu, kumpulan yang tidak turun air didedahkan dengan praktikal di atas ergometre. Program latihan yang disediakan untuk mereka adalah 1000m x 2set.

Latihan di bot adalah pergerakan asas sukan sukan medayung. Manakala, latihan di ergometer bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran asas tentang latihan di atas air. Pelajar juga didedahkan tentang kesilapan-kesilapan yang biasa berlaku, punca dan cara yang betul mengenai kaedah asas mendayung.

Untuk program ini, pelajar senior tingkatan 5 Mohd Hafizin Jamil yang juga merupakan Presiden Kelab Mendayung Alam Shah hadir memberi sokongan. Minat beliau yang mendalam kerana menyedari peluang penglibatan junior di peringkat antarabangsa. Kami akan menyediakan program latihan untuk mereka yang berminat berdasarkan ujian 2000m di ergometer. Hafizin cuba memperbaharui rekod awalnya 8:44.7 dan berjaya dengan rekod baru 8:43.8. Inisiatif ini diperhatikan oleh pelajar-pelajar tingakatan 4 di mana 2 orang tampil ingin membuat percubaan. Hasilnya, Mohd Fikri berjaya dengan rekod 8:43.2 dan Afiz Fazriz dengan rekod 8:53.4.

Berdasarkan rekod tersebut, program latihan Indoor Rowing dijana untuk kegunaan mereka. Semoga inisiatif ini akan menunjukkan teladan dan membuahkan hasil yang boleh dibanggakan suatu hari nanti.

So that, this blog can also be the space of word for those who want their voice to be heard by all.

Thank you, Coach Halim & Afong!

Quotes:
“Almost every training session ended in sheer exhaustion, to the point that you are writhing on the ground, vomiting and feeling sick. You just have to push yourself. The only way to improve is to work harder than you did the day before.” – Datuk Dr. M. Jegathesan

“Sometimes when i was training, i punished myself so much. I didn’t feel the body. The mind just tells and the body goes on. In a normal person, the mind is the first to break down. If a player can train himslef to let the mind control the body, then he has a chance to become a champion.” Datuk Eddy Choong

“I dug deep into myself to show them. in the process, i develop the mental strength and capacity to take on the challenge. For the first time in my life, i could experience it – shutting my eyes and running the race in my mind.” Ishtiaq Mubarak.
