Coach vows to fix mental game after King's Cup sepak takraw defeat
KUALA LUMPUR: National sepak takraw coach Ahmad Jais Baharun has voiced his disappointment over his players' timid performance in the men's team regu final at the Thai King's Cup in Songkhla on Sunday. Ahmad Jais said his players lacked belief and failed to take advantage of their opportunities, allowing Thailand to dictate the pace of the match. "The players did not perform up to expectations in the final. They didn't capitalise when they took the lead, which allowed the Thais to catch up and pile on the pressure. "That's something we'll need to fix ahead of the SEA Games at the end of the year," he told Bernama. Malaysia were beaten 2-0 by arch-rivals Thailand in the final. The first regu of Noraizat Nordin, Haziq Hairul Nizam and Norfaizzul Razak lost 15-12, 15-12 to the Thai trio led by Pornthep Tinbangbon. The second regu of Syahir Rosdi, Azlan Alias and Farhan Adam also failed to extend the contest, falling 17-16, 15-4 to Siriwat Sakha, Thawisak Thongsai and Rachan Viphan. The defeat means Malaysia's 34-year wait for a win in the team regu event continues, their last triumph coming at the 1991 SEA Games in Manila. Ahmad Jais, however, is not hitting the panic button, noting that the team had limited preparation for the Thai King's Cup. He now plans to devise a better strategy for the SEA Games, which will be held in Thailand from Dec 9-20. "We only had a week to prepare the team for this tournament. That said, I don't want to use that as an excuse for the underwhelming performance. "We'll carry out a full post-mortem as we prepare for the SEA Games," he said. - BERNAMA

Shoulder injury forces Pandelela, Yiat Qing to exit synchro event at world meet
Malaysia's Pandelela Pamg in action in this file photo taken during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. – AFP photo SINGAPORE (July 28): A left shoulder injury sustained by national diving queen Datuk Pandelela Rinong forced her and Lee Yiat Qing to withdraw from the women's 10-metre synchronised event at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore today. They completed two of the five dives with a total of 87 points before an announcement was made regarding their withdrawal during the preliminaries at the OCBC Aquatic Centre. Pandelela said the injury, sustained earlier this month but still manageable under physiotherapy, was triggered during the warm-up session. 'Therefore, after two dives, we decided to withdraw for safety reasons. I would like to thank you, especially those who came to the venue to support us,' she posted on Facebook. In the morning session, Nurqayyum Nazmi Mohamad Nazim and Yong Rui Jie failed to advance to the finals in the men's 3m synchronised springboard event after finishing outside the top eight. The duo finished in 21st place with 302.76 points in the 26-team preliminaries. Meanwhile, national swimmer Khiew Hoe Yean failed to advance to the semi-finals of the men's 200m freestyle event after clocking 1 minute 48.10 seconds at the World Aquatics Championships Arena. He finished fourth in Heat Three and 31st overall out of 59 swimmers. SEA Games gold medallist Phee Jinq En did not start in the women's 100m breaststroke event due to a hip and groin issue. Malaysia's national swimming head coach Eric Anderson said Jing En opted out of the event, in hopes of better preparing for the 50m breaststroke scheduled for Aug 2. 'The team flew here straight from the World University Games in Berlin, which is hardly ideal preparation. It was our main target event where we aimed to peak there,' he told Bernama when contacted. – Bernama Lee Yiat Qing pandelela rinong sports World Aquatics Championships

Malaysian athletes show promise at WUG despite missing target
ESSEN: Malaysia wrapped up their campaign at the Rhine-Ruhr World University Games (WUG) in Germany with just two medals — a silver in swimming and a bronze in badminton. Khiew Hoe Yean ended a 34-year wait for Malaysia in the pool by bagging silver in the men's 400m freestyle, while Wong Ling Ching delivered bronze in the women's singles badminton event. Hoe Yean's silver was the country's first swimming medal at the WUG or Universiade since Jeffrey Ong's silver in the men's 1,500m freestyle at the 1991 Sheffield Games. Malaysia sent a 64-strong contingent to compete in six of the 19 sports contested at this year's edition, held across Duisburg and surrounding cities. The modest two-medal haul fell well short of the seven-medal target. Still, there were encouraging signs, particularly in the pool. Hoe Yean not only won silver but also helped set a new national record in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay alongside Arvin Shaun Singh Chahal, Lim Yin Chuen, and Tan Khai Xin. Hoe Yean also broke the national mark in his individual 400m race. Arvin Shaun posted a personal best in the men's 100m freestyle, while in athletics, Nurul Ashikin Abas (women's triple jump), the men's 4x100m, and women's 4x400m relay teams all recorded season-best times. Six Malaysians made it to the finals in their events, four of them in athletics. Among them was Azeem Fahmi, who finished fourth in the men's 100m final. The 21-year-old flag bearer and debutant showed his potential in the blue riband event but also learned how narrow the margins are at the top. The women's recurve archery team also made history by reaching the semi-finals for the first time. Despite missing the medal target, the effort, hunger and composure shown by Malaysia's young athletes against world-class opposition were widely praised. The experience gained is expected to serve them well as they build toward bigger international competitions. The Games ended with a vibrant closing ceremony at Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord. Japan topped the overall medal table with 34 golds, followed by China (30) and the United States (28). The next edition of the WUG will be hosted by Chungcheong, South Korea, in 2027. - BERNAMA
