ISAM Target Six Gold Medals In 2017 SEA Games

PETALING JAYA, Sept 30 -- The Ice Skating Association of Malaysia (ISAM) hope to clinch six of the 10 gold medals at stake in the 29th SEA Games to be hosted by Malaysia in 2017.

"Based on the current performance of the skiers in the squad, we are confident of winning at least six of the 10 gold medals offered. We are especially in strong in figure skating and short speed track," ISAM president Mohamad Fadzli Johan told reporters in Bandar Sunway, near here Wednesday.

Mohamad Fadzli said in the 2017 SEA Games, two gold medals would be offered in figure skating and eight in short track speed skating.

He said ISAM's confidence brew from the results of the team's success in winning a gold, one silver and a bronze Skating Australia Short Track Speed Championships in Melbourne on Sept 25 and 26 through Mohamad Ariff Rasydan Mohamad Fadzli, 16, in the 1,000m, 500m and 777m events.

He said the strong challengers would be Singapore and Thailand.

Mohamad Ariff's win in Melbourne also earned him a ticket to the World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championship in Sofia, Bulgaria from Jan 29 to 31.

A clearer view of ‪#‎FIBAAsia2015‬

China must not Under Estimate Group E

(Photo: FIBA.com)

September 29. China as the leader of Group F can choose their opponent as Group E matches ended this afternoon. 

China today will face Qatar on their final match in the second round preliminaries and who gets the win will get the top spot of Group F of the 2015  FIBA Asia Championship. 

As mentioned, Group E matches ended with Philippines being number 1 in the group. Followed by Iran with 3-1 card, Japan in 3rd and India as 4th ranked respectively. 

For the knock-out quarter-finals, here is the format: 

E1 vs F4 = Philippines vs F4
E2 vs F3 = Iran vs F3
F2 vs E3 = F2 vs Japan
F1 vs E4 = F1 vs India

As of now, half of the quarter-finalists are being named and seeded. And China as host can analytically or measure or choose their opponent on the knock-out quarter-finals by dropping or winning their last match against Qatar. 

If they manage to win, they will up against India and a probable semi-final match against Iran. 

If they drop their match against Qatar, they will be seeded as F2 and will play against Japan and a highly probable semi-final match against the Philippines.  

The question is "Which  way will China prefer?" Which way is easier for them?

Assuming that they can beat their opponents in the quarter-finals but which team will China prefer to play against with in the semi-finals, is it Iran or Philippines? Which is more difficult to play with?

I'm telling China, don't under estimate Group E. 

India and Japan can surprise either in the quarters. 

Quarter-final round is another story to write. Like the Palestine beating Philippines in the 1st round. And Philippines beating defending champion Iran in the second round. 

Are we going to see another upset against another giant?

What Might Happen in 2015 FIBA Asia?

The first day of the second round of 2015 FIBA Asia can somehow tell us what will be the ranking of Group E and Group F if we are going to base it on "win-over-the-other" format. 

In Group E, Iran can be ranked "1st" if Philippines will not level up their game performance and will not defeat them. Philippines has this kind of struggles early in their previous matches. Though they won their last three games, their game level is very different compare to the energy they brought in 2015 Jones Cup and the MVP Cup.  

Something is lacking. Maybe fatigue or over-practiced. We don't know. But team Philippines has so much to give. And we want to see it from them.

Iran is the only team that will give Philippines another hard fight. And this will happen tomorrow morning.

In Group F, no doubt that China will sweep all their games in the first and second rounds. They have the crowd, they hardly prepared for this tournament and they are looking forward for a ticket in 2016 Rio Olympics . And we also find them battling the Philippines in the semi-finals of this edition. 

Group F has better teams compare to Group E. Every team is hard to beat. 

Iran is the only heavy favorite team from Group E to reach the finals. 

But because we support Southeast Asia, we will be biased and hope that Philippines beat China in our predicted semi-final match. Other semi-final match could be Iran against South Korea. 

Again, Group F has very good teams and we find them hard to beat. And we wish Philippines to win all their following games until the finals.

The General Department of Sports and Physical Training, Vietnam Sports Newspaper on August 31st co-opened a kiosk in Hanoi to promote the 2016 Asian Beach Games (ABG5) which will be held in the central city of Da Nang in September next year.

The kiosk briefly introduces the history and development of ABG.

It will be the second time for Vietnam to host an Asia level multi-sports event, after Hanoi held Asian Indoor Games (2009) and Southeast Asian Games (2003). However, it will be the first time that the event won't be held in Hanoi.

The event in Vietnam is scheduled to open at 20h00 on September 24th, 2016, and wrap up on October 3rd, 2016.

Under the slogan “Shining Ocean, Shining Future”, around 5,000 athletes from 45 Asian nations/territories are expected to compete in 14 sports in the fifth edition of the Asian Beach Games.

ABG5 is consisted of 14 events, including aquatics sports (marathon swimming (5 & 10 km), beach water polo), beach kabaddi, beach soccer, beach volleyball, beach handball, 3x3 basketball, beach sepaktakraw, beach martial arts (wrestling- sambo- Jujitsu kurash; Pencaksilat-Vovinam- Muay Thai- Combat in Vietnam traditional martial art), beach shuttlecock, beach petanque, beach bodybuilding, beach woodball, coastal rowing, and beach athletic.

The first ever biannual ABG was held in Bali (Indonesia) in 2008.

The last event, held in Phuket, Thailand in 2014, was largely hailed as a huge success. Vietnamese athletes managed a fifth-placed finish on the medal table at the 2014 competition as they secured eight gold, 12 silver and 20 bronze medals./.
