Marina manfaat sukan zaman remaja

• Marina Chin

< 1 / 4 >

NAMA Marina Chin tidak perlu diperkenalkan lagi dalam arena sukan ranah air. Meskipun lebih 30 tahun berlalu, lagenda yang mencipta gelaran ratu pecut dan lari berpagar dalam sukan olahraga ini meraih banyak rekod sukan yang mengagumkan.

Pengetua Sekolah Sukan Bukit Jalil ini tidak pernah terduga bakal terlibat dalam dunia sukan sekali gus menyandang gelaran olahragawati Malaysia, namun, menyedari diri berkebolehan dalam bidang ini, beliau memutuskan untuk memanfaatkan zaman remajanya demi mengharumkan nama negara.

Dalam masa sama, keghairahan mengejar cita-cita sebagai cikgu tidak pernah luntur dan dikejar, meskipun terlalu sibuk dengan jadual latihan sukan dan pertandingan.
"Penglibatan dalam sukan telah membantu dalam pembangunan karakter saya. Sebelum menceburi bidang sukan, saya pemalu. Sukan mengajar saya pelbagai nilai murni yang tidak dapat dipelajari daripada buku sahaja.

“Cita-cita dan tanggungjawab kepada negara berjalan seiring. Saya gembira kerana saya memperoleh kedua-duanya. Sebab itu, selepas mengambil alih sebagai pengetua saya terapkan nilai keseimbangan antara sukan dan akademik kepada pelajar-pelajar." kata bekas cikgu Pendidikan Jasmani dan Bahasa Inggeris ini.


Cabaran tadbir sekolah sukan

Sistem pembelajaran sekolah sukan sama seperti sekolah biasa yang menyenaraikan mata pelajaran wajib. Mereka diberikan fleksibiliti menerusi pembelajaran berdasarkan modul, di mana pelajar boleh membawa modul itu ke mana-mana mereka pergi termasuk ketika latihan atau temasya luar negara.

Ternyata, pendekatan diambil Marina membolehkan 467 pelajarnya menyusun waktu belajar lebih sistematik.

“Waktu belajar juga fleksibel. Pada malam Isnin, Selasa dan Rabu ada kelas malam dari jam 8.30 hingga 9.50 malam. Sabtu Ahad juga akan ada kelas gantian.

Pelajar yang terlibat dengan kejohanan pula akan diberi kelonggaran mengambil peperiksaan sebelum atau selepas kejohanan. Tiada pengecualian. Malah, sekiranya kejohanan di luar negara, pihak sekolah akan aturkan guru untuk pergi ke tempat latihan mereka agar tidak ketinggalan dalam pelajaran,” katanya.


Anugerah sukan dan akademik peringkat sekolah

Ditanya bagaimana beliau mendorong para pelajarnya memperoleh keputusan cemerlang dalam kedua-dua bidang, Marina berkata, sekolah menyediakan anugerah bulanan dan tahunan.

“Sekolah juga bekerjasama dengan Persatuan Ibu Bapa dan Guru (PIBG) mengadakan majlis Anugerah Gemilang yang diadakan setiap tahun.” katanya.

Bagi pelajar yang mewakili Malaysia dan wakil negeri dalam Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) juga diberikan ganjaran lain. Bagi Marina, ini adalah perubahan mengikut zaman.

“Zaman saya dulu semuanya sendirian berhad. Nak pergi latihan pun kena duit sendiri. Inisiatif sendiri. Tapi semangat bersukan tu tinggi jadi kami tak pentingkan soal kewangan. Selagi boleh sara sendiri, saya sara diri sendiri. Ada masanya bapa turut membantu. Pada zaman sekarang tak boleh.

" Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada jenama korporat seperti MILO kerana banyak memberi sumbangan kepada kanak-kanak Malaysia untuk berjaya dalam bidang sukan.Sokongan yang diberikan oleh MILO turut membantu membakar semangat pelajar kami untuk terus berjaya dalam sukan,” sambungnya.


Zaman kanak-kanak paling indah

Berkongsi cerita di zaman kanak-kanaknya, Marina dengan mesra berkata, beliau bercita-cita menjadi cikgu dan kerana itulah sejak kecil, beliau selalu menjadi cikgu kepada kawan-kawan sekampung di Sentul, Kuala Lumpur.

“Masa kecil saya memang tomboi sedikit. Tubuh badan saya tinggi dan besar dari rakan sebaya dan budak lelaki. Waktu petang kami selalu main cikgu-cikgu dan saya akan jadi cikgu untuk ajar budak-budak lain. Lepas main cikgu-cikgu kami main lumba lari. Masa tu kawan-kawan perempuan tak lari sepantas saya jadi saya selalu bersaing dengan budak-budak lelaki. Kami berlari dari satu pokok ke satu pokok untuk lawan siapa menang,” katanya disusuli ketawa.

Ternyata, kenangan zaman kanak-kanaknya begitu manis untuk dikenang. Begitu juga zaman remaja yang mana sebahagiannya dimanfaatkan dengan memenuhi jadual latihan. Semangat dan keinginan untuk mengharumkan nama negara itu menjadi matlamatnya yang paling utama.

“Terus terang sebagai atlet Malaysia saya amat serius dengan sukan. Saya sanggup korban banyak perkara termasuk pergaulan dengan kawan-kawan. Saya tak ada teman lelaki. Dan saya tak ada masa nak layan orang yang kacau-kacau saya.

“Selepas tamat tingkatan lima saya menyambung pengajian di Maktab Perguruan Seri Kota, Kuala Lumpur sebelum mengajar di Sekolah Menengah Perempuan Jalan Ampang pada 1976.

“Ketika itu saya masih ingat, saya mengajar sesi petang jadi sebelah pagi saya akan naik dua bas dari Sentul ke Kampung Pandan untuk sesi latihan berlari. Saya mandi dan bersiap di sana kemudian naik dua bas lagi untuk ke sekolah di Ampang. Begitulah rutin harian saya sehingga bapa belikan kereta pada tahun kedua saya jadi cikgu.


Berhenti jadi atlet?

Ditanya adakah gelaran atlet telah memberikan pengaruh besar kepada pelajar-pelajarnya, Marina berkata, ia pernah berlaku

“Saya mengajar Bahasa Inggeris dan Pendidikan Jasmani. Semasa saya menang pingat di Sukan Sea 1977, saya disambut dengan sebilangan pelajar perempuan  memotong rambut ala rambut saya. Saya betul-betul terharu dan tak sangka ada kelab peminat,” katanya

Pemilik wajah cantik yang menjadi rebutan ramai jejaka ini dikhabarkan tidak lagi meneruskan karier selepas melanjutkan pelajaran ke Amerika Syarikat pada 1980, Marina bagaimanapun menafikan.

“Saya masih training dan wakil universiti. Pada 1980 sepatutnya kita pergi ke OLIMPIK tapi Malaysia boikot sebab Rusia masuk Afganistan jadi tak balik Malaysia untuk sebarang kejohanan besar. Pada 1981 saya ke Jepun dan mewakili Malaysia dalam Asia Track & Field dan dapat pingat emas dalam 4 x 400 meter. Kerana alami kecederaan saya tak dapat masuk sukan SEA,” kata graduan Sarjana Muda Sains dan Sarjana Kesusasteraan bidang Pengurusan Sukan ini dari Ohio State University ini.

Marina menyumbang khidmatnya di Kementerian Pendidikan, selain terlibat sebagai aktivis dalam usaha memartabatkan sukan Malaysia.

Pesanan Marina kepada pelajar-pelajar agar sentiasa konsisten dan tidak perlu memilih antara sukan dan pelajaran.

“Lakukan kedua-duanya dengan keyakinan dan pengorbanan tinggi. Saya yakin anda mampu mengembalikan kegemilangan Malaysia dalam sukan sepertimana suatu ketika dahulu,” katanya.

SEA GAMES: Golden Day At The Lanes

FITTING: Bowlers dedicate wonder show to the injured Esther Cheah

The national bowlers were in sizzling form in Jakarta yesterday. - Picture by HAIRUL ANUAR ABD RAHIM

Zandra Aziela Ibrahim in action en route to winning the women’s doubles with Jacqueline Sijore yesterday.

It was another tight battle at the Jaya Ancol Bowling Centre, but this time it was Malaysia who edged Singapore when Zandra Aziela Ibrahim Hakimi and Jacqueline Sijore combined to deliver the squad's first gold medal of this Sea Games in the women's doubles yesterday.

That was followed later in the day by men's pair Alex Liew and Adrian Ang who also took gold after coming from behind to deny the Philippines Frederick Ong and Biboy Rivera.

Zandra-Jacqueline, trailing after the first three games, turned the tide in their favour in the fourth when Jacqueline almost delivered a perfect fourth game, only a nine-pin ninth frame spoiling it, as Zandra delivered 193 pins for the duo to wrest the lead from Singapore's Cherie Tan and Daphne Tan.

Zandra and Jacqueline downed a total of 2,463 pins to win by seven, while Dayang Khairunisa Abang Jamalidon, a last-minute replacement for the injured Esther Cheah, celebrated an unexpected bronze in her Sea Games debut after a sensational effort with veteran Sharon Koh that saw them climb from 12th after the first game to finish third with a total of 2,413 pins.

It was also a first medal on her Sea Games debut for 19-year old Jacqueline, who dedicated the gold to the injured Esther, a doubles gold medallist with Zatil Iman Abdul Ghani in Korat four years ago. But there was no denying she impressed by keeping cool under pressure, especially in the final four frames in the final game which the Malaysians entered just seven pins ahead of the Singaporeans.

"I just played my game. I knew it was close and I played to the crowd as well. In the beginning the Singaporean supporters were making a lot of noise, so that indicated they were scoring high and were closing in, so I just kept maintaining my shots as I felt I was on a good run," said Jacqueline.

"When the Singaporeans all went quiet, I knew we had it nailed."

Zandra, 25, said the slow start had not worried them as she knew she could count on the promising Jacqueline.

"We took it easy in the beginning, just played our game. But the turning point was when Jacqueline almost hit a perfect game. That pushed us up and we had the lead within sight. We just kept maintaining that as I knew in doubles, it is about the both of us. If I had a bad shot, Jacqueline would cover it and the same if she had one bad shot," said Zandra.

The men's squad matched the women's with the Asian Games gold medal combination of Alex and Adrian knocking down the pins en route to their gold medal with a 2,555 total, although they too needed some inspiration after trailing Filipino pair Frederick Ong and Biboy Rivera in the opening three games. In the end, the Filipinos' 2,490 total showed the superiority of the Malaysians.

Zulmazran Zulkifli and Mohd Syafiq Ridhwan Abdul Malek took the bronze with 2,434 pins.

"We were pumped up for it and I think there is more to come," said Alex, for whom the Jaya Ancol Bowling Centre continues to be a happy hunting ground, this being his sixth title won there and his fifth Sea Games gold. "We had to be a bit patient at the start. In the earlier part our scores were not very high, but we knew we just had to maintain that as we would be scoring high in the final few games after we had warmed up," Alex added.

Adrian, the singles bronze medallist, was just relieved that the combination worked again, having felt the pressure of going into the competition as the Asian Games gold medallists.

"I'm just happy to have delivered with Alex again. Coming here as the Asian Games champions, we felt the pressure and luckily it worked out well for us," said Adrian.

Bowlers Make Clean Sweep In Doubles Events

JAKARTA: After the drought on the opening day at the Jaya Ancol Bowling Centre on Tuesday, the Malaysian bowlers began their golden harvest with a clean sweep of the gold medals at stake in the doubles events yesterday.

Zandra Aziela Ibrahim Hakimi-Jacqueline Jenelee Sijore delivered the first gold medal in the women’s competition with a six-game total of 2,463 pinfalls before Adrian Ang-Alex Liew completed the double in the evening with a 2,555 total.

Singapore’s Daphne Tan-Cherie Tan took the silver medal (2,456) while Malaysia’s Sharon Koh-Dayang Khairuniza Dhiyana took the bronze (2,413) in the women’s competition.

Striking combo: Malaysia’s Zandra Aziela (left) and Jacqueline Sijore celebrating with the Jalur Gemilang after delivering the women’s doubles gold at the Jaya Ancol Bowling Centre in Jakarta yesterday.

Biboy Rivera-Frederick Ong of the Philippines (2,490) took the men’s silver medal while Malaysia’s Mohd Syafiq Ridhwan Abdul Malek-Zulmazran Zulkifli (2,454) settled for bronze.

In the women’s competition, Zandra-Jacqueline did not have the best of starts when they fired 178 and 196 respectively in the opening game.

Sitting in eighth spot after three games, Jacqueline-Zandra doubled their efforts in the next game to push into

the second spot – six pins behind leaders Cherie-Daphne.

Jacqueline, the singles gold medallist in the Women’s World Championships in Hong Kong in September, said she never realised where they stood even after the fourth game, but sensed that Singapore were in the lead.

Bowling them over: Adrian Ang (left) and Alex Liew are all smiles after topping the men’s doubles event.

“They were cheering loudly and I knew they must be leading at that point. But at the end of the final game, they were very quiet,” said Jacqueline.

“I knew then that they were not in the lead and it came as a surprise to me that we won it.”

Alex, meanwhile, said he cherished yesterday’s win, especially as it was the same combination that landed the gold medal in the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games.

“We came here to prove that we are still the best in the region and we did it. This is a big start for us and hopefully there will be more to come,” he said.

Adrian said the key to their success yesterday was keeping their cool despite the loud cheering by other teams on the lanes.

“The cheers told us that they were doing well at that instant. But we kept calm and played our game without thinking about what was happening around us,” said Adrian.
