Michael Wong leads Malay version of Olympic theme song
Updated：2008-03-03

(BEIJING, March 3) -- Music has always been a strong characteristic of the Olympic Games; Olympic songs create as much of an imprint as the events themselves. Therefore, it isn't hard to imagine the excitement around the most important: the Olympic theme song.

The Malay version of the much anticipated Beijing Olympic theme song, titled Olimpik Di Beijing was recorded in Chinese Taipei and Malaysia. The recording process took roughly three months to complete. The song is composed of 38 acts from Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, involving popular singers such as Michael Wong and Malaysia-born Penny.

Michael Wong, the only soloist in the Malay version of the theme song, expressed his delight at being a part of music history. He is very excited about being able to do his part to support the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The Malay version of the Olympic theme song follows the already recorded versions in other languages: Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, and English.

The song will be unveiled to the public in June at a concert in Kuala Lumpur.

Pelumba Eropah Cabaran Utama Pelumba Basikal Negara Raih Pingat Di Olimpik Beijing

KUALA LUMPUR, 28 April (Bernama) -- Impian untuk pelumba-pelumba berbasikal trek kebangsaan meraih pingat di Sukan Olimpik Beijing, Ogos ini akan hanya tercapai sekiranya cabaran daripada kalangan pelumba Eropah dapat diatasi.

Presiden Persatuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM) Abu Samah Wahab berkata jika dibandingkan kemampuan pelumba-pelumba kebangsaan dengan pelumba dari Eropah, masih terdapat jurang ketara yang perlu dihapuskan.

"Kita mungkin boleh mengatasi pelumba-pelumba di Asia seperti yang dilakukan oleh Azizulhasni Awang di Kejohanan Lumba Basikal Asia 2008 (ACC) awal bulan ini untuk memenangi acara Keirin dan acara 200 meter pecut individu," katanya kepada pemberita di sini hari ini.

Beliau sebelum itu menyampaikan insentif RM2,000 seorang kepada lima pelumba trek negara yang layak ke Sukan Olimpik iaitu Mohd Rizal Tisin, Mohd Ederus Yunus, Junaidi Mohd Nasir, Josiah Ng dan Azizulhasni.

Abu Samah berkata latihan intensif di Melbourne, Australia di bawah kendalian jurulatih kebangsaan John Beasley akan dipertingkatkan termasuk menyertai beberapa pertandingan tempatan di sana.

"Mereka akan berlepas ke Melbourne malam ini dan berpeluang untuk menguji keupayaan pada satu pertandingan tempatan 15 Jun ini yang turut melibatkan beberapa pelumba Olimpik Australia," katanya.

Jawatankuasa Olimpik Antarabangsa (IOC) dan Kesatuan Berbasikal Antarabangsa (UCI) pada 14 April lepas mengesahkan secara rasmi pelumba skuad berbasikal trek kebangsaan yang layak dalam acara berpasukan (tiga orang), keirin (dua orang) dan 200 meter pecut individu (seorang).

Sementara itu mengenai perlantikan jurulatih untuk pasukan lebuhraya kebangsaan, Abu Samah berkata perkara itu masih dalam di peringkat perbincangan dengan beberapa nama telah dicadangkan.

"Jawatankuasa Pembangunan PKBM pada mesyuarat hari ini memutuskan untuk menimbangkan beberapa nama jurulatih dan meneliti program-program pembangunan yang dicadangkan mereka," katanya.

Beliau berkata selain jurulatih Rene Wenzel dari Denmark, PKBM mengenal pasti seorang jurulatih dari Australia dan Switzerland bagi mengisi kekosongan yang ditinggalkan oleh Aminuddin Sulaiman pada Mac lepas.

"PKBM akan melantik secepat mungkin jurulatih agar pelumba-pelumba lebuhraya dapat mencapai tahap yang sama dengan pelumba-pelumba trek dan layak ke Olimpik 2012 di England," kata Abu Samah.

Status bukan halangan kutip pingat di Beijing

KUALA LUMPUR - Atlet memanah negara yang akan ke Beijing Ogos ini tidak menghiraukan status mereka selaku pasukan mentah selepas kali pertama beraksi di Sukan Olimpik.

Menurut pemanah negara, Cheng Chu Sian, Malaysia boleh dianggap sebagai pasukan 'junior' kerana kali pertama beraksi di Sukan Olimpik tetapi selepas sering bersaing dengan atlet negara lain yang menyertai kejohanan antarabangsa tidak mustahil mereka akan melakukan kejutan di sana nanti.

''Kami pernah bertemu dengan hampir semua pemanah yang akan beraksi di Sukan Olimpik nanti pengalaman pernah menentang mereka sebelum ini akan digunakan sepenuhnya bagi merealisasikan impian membawa pulang pingat,'' katanya dalam sidang media di Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) Bukit Jalil.

Jelasnya, semua persiapan berjalan seperti biasa dan dia bersama dua lagi rakan yang lain (Muhammad Marbawi Sulaiman dan Wan Mohd. Khalmizam Wan Abd. Aziz) menumpu sepenuhnya kepada acara berpasukan serta mempertingkatkan semangat mereka.

''Memang sasaran kami dalam acara berpasukan tetapi dalam masa yang sama tidak melupakan terus acara individu, sekarang ini agak susah untuk meramalkan siapa di antara kami bertiga akan menyerlah dalam acara individu tetapi semuanya akan terjawab apabila kami tiba di Beijing nanti.

Sementara itu, Wan Mohd. Khalmizam Wan Abd. Aziz berkata, dia akan cuba menyerap tekanan yang bakal diterima sebaik tiba di sana.

''Tekanan akan dapat dirasai sebaik tiba di gelanggang bukan sahaja datang dari penonton yang menyaksikan acara itu tetapi juga boleh dijelmakan oleh media dan keadaan cuaca.

''Sasaran saya ialah membawa pulang pingat tidak kira warna apa sekalipun,'' kata Wan Mohd. Khalmizan.

Bagi Muhammad Marbawi Sulaiman pula, tumpuannya sekarang ini terarah kepada kejohanan Piala Dunia yang akan disertai di Perancis 21 hingga 29 Jun ini tetapi dia sudah merasakan terdapat peningkatan dalam persembahannya.

''Fokus saya terarah kepada gelanggang perlawanan walaupun pernah beraksi di sana dalam Kejohanan Percubaan Sukan Olimpik di Beijing tahun lepas tetapi keadaannya amat berbeza sekali.

'' Pada kejohanan itu saya belum dapat merasi bahang sebenar kejohanan kerana tiada penonton dan selepas ini keadaan akan menjadi berbeza dengan kehadiran penonton yang ramai,'' katanya.

Beijing Buzz: Tatiana doubles up in triple jump



KAZAN: Russia's long jump world champion Tatiana Lebedeva will also compete in the Beijing Olympics triple jump after winning the national title here on Saturday.

Tatiana's winning leap of 14.92m was the fifth best jump of the season and was enough to defeat Anna Pyatykh, who was second with 14.88m while Viktoria Gurova took third with 14.85m.

Meanwhile, Lilia Shobukhova set a new Russian and European 5,000m record with a time of 14:23.75s to beat the previous mark of 14:24.68 of Turkey's Elvan Abeylegesse set in June 2004 at Bergen, Norway.

In the men's polevault, Yevgeny Lukianenko, who registered 6.01m earlier this year, won the national title with 5.85m, 10cm ahead of his closest rivals Dmitry Starodubtsev and veteran Igor Pavlov.

After winning the title Lukianenko tried to set a Russian record but failed to clear 6.06m mark in all three attempts.

Gulfia Khanafeyeva won the women's hammer with 75.07m, the season's fifth best performance, 0.26m ahead of the second-placed Yelena Konevtsova. Anna Bulgakova was third with 72.62m. -- AFP

Few Olympic medals to show from ASEAN's half-billion people
July 04, 2008 09:37:00
Agence France-Presse

SINGAPORE -- The ASEAN bloc of nations might comprise 10 countries with a combined population of more than half-a-billion people, yet they could only manage 12 medals between them at the last Olympics in Athens.

Few are banking on any dramatic improvement at Beijing.

Of those 12 medals, Thailand won eight, including three gold, while Indonesia claimed the remaining four, including one gold.

Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brunei, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Myanmar came away empty-handed and are desperate to do better this time round.

Thailand again has the best chance for glory. Its forte is boxing and women's weightlifting.

Manus Boonjumnong is back to defend his light welterweight title while Athens bantamweight silver medallist Worapoj Petchkoom is also on their team.

The kingdom has a knack of producing promising boxers and one of the best of the new bunch is middleweight Angkarn Chomphuphuang, who makes his Olympic debut.

But Udomporn Polsak and Pawina Thongsuk will not be defending their weightlifting gold medals, having quit the sport. Thailand has also lost their Chinese weightlifting coach Zhang Jia Min, who has returned home.

Sprawling Indonesia, with 219 million people, produced just one athlete capable of beating the world in Athens -- temperamental badminton star Taufik Hidayat.

He returns but is struggling for form, having slipped to seventh in the rankings and faces an uphill task against China's world-class shuttlers led by Lin Dan and Bao Chunlai.

Athens badminton bronze medallist Sony Dwi Kuncoro will also be in action.

Like Thailand, Indonesia's women have proven a hit in the weightlifting arena. Of the country's 20 Olympics medals since their first Games in 1952, four have been from lifting weights, one in archery and the rest badminton.

An added incentive this time around is a significant cash bonus of one billion rupiah ($106,000) to any Indonesian claiming the ultimate prize.

Asian nations dominate the world of badminton and that's where Malaysia will be hoping to add to its all-time tally of one silver and two bronze Olympics medals.

Lee Chong Wei in the men's singles is a key hope. Currently the world number two, he scored a morale-boosting win over the top-ranked Lin Dan at the Thomas Cup in May. Their men's doubles pairs will also be in contention.

Over 68 years and 16 Olympic Games, the Philippines have managed just two silver and seven bronze medals, in boxing, athletics, and swimming. Their last success was in Atlanta in 1996 and the signs for Beijing are not good.

Their strength has traditionally been in the ring but their reputation took a battering by a dismal performance in the Olympic qualifying rounds.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, only one boxer, light flyweight Harry Ta?r, will represent them at the Games, compared to the usual turnout of around five.

Tiny Singapore has been positioning itself as a sports hub -- it will host the inaugural Youth Olympics in 2010 -- and is keen to see its athletes make a breakthrough on the world stage.

It is aiming to win its first medal in 48 years following weightlifter Tan Howe Liang's silver at the 1960 Rome Games.

Badminton, table tennis and sailing are key events, with even a minor medal a major achievement from the city-state.

Vietnamese weightlifter Hoang Anh Tuan, who claimed the 56kg division title at the Asian Weightlifting Championships in April, has secured a berth to Beijing, and will be looking for Vietnam's second Olympic medal.

The other was bagged by Tran Hieu Ngan who grabbed a taekwondo silver at Sydney Olympics in 2000.

The rest of the ASEAN contingent will be hoping to build on the experience.

IBAF changes rules for extra innings

Link to original article

DURHAM, N.C. (AP)桬xtra innings will have a new look in what could be baseball抯 last Olympic appearance.

Each team抯 at-bat in the 11th inning and beyond will begin with runners on first and second bases. Teams may start the 11th at any point in their batting order under format changes announced Friday by the International Baseball Federation and adopted in time for next month抯 Beijing Games.

Baseball and softball are making their last appearance for a while, after the International Olympic Committee voted to eliminate the sports from the 2012 London Games. Both sports are working to be reinstated for the 2016 Olympics.

Federation president Harvey Schiller said the extra-innings change was adopted to save time.

揈xtra-inning contests can bring about the most exciting results for players and fans, but such circumstances also make it difficult in the context of the Olympic program,
