Chris John yet to decide whether to quit fighting

Semarang - WBA super champion of Indonesia Chris John has yet to decide whether to quit boxing, although this was a wish from his wife, Anna Maria Megawati, and a suggestion of former national pugilists.

"I cannot talk about it now because I have not made any decision," Chris John said in Semarang, Central Java, Saturday.

When asked whether his fight against his Argentinian challenger Fernando David Saucedo in November this year would be his last fight, he said right now he cannot say anything about it yet, because he has not made any decision.

His wife, Anna Maria Megawati, has told him recently to quit boxing because he has already got everything, including material wealth and achievement, what more did he possibly wanted?

"What more did he possibly wanted? He has money, as well as achievement. While he is at the peak of his achievement, he better quit boxing, and return to his family, as his children have become bigger, and need his attention and care," she said.

"Do not wait for a loss, which means that now he is at the top of his boxing career it is better to quit," the mother of two girls (Maria Luna Ferisha and Maria Rosa Christiani) said.

In addition, the former Central Java wushu athlete said, she said something had gone wrong in Chris John`s management. "I do not wish Chris John jatuh made the same mistake," she pointed out.

In the meantime observer of boxing and national promoter Syamsul Anwar Harahap suggested that Chris John quit boxing and retire while he was still popular, considering his advancing age and that he had been hurt several times.

"Chris John`s fights had been canceled twice in Bali and in Jakarta, because Chris was hurt. This was an indication that his body can no longer meet the training standards of a world champ," Syamsul said.

He said Chri John in his last fight against American challenger Rocky Juarez looked rather clumsy in the last rounds. The 12-round fight in Las Vegas, the US, on September 19 last year was won by Chris John on points.

"In Indonesia, the age of 30 is risky for a fighter," said Syamsul, who was also a top national amateur boxer in the 1970s.

Syamsul also felt that something had gone wrong in the management of Chris John, but he said he did not know what for sure.

"One thing is sure that there was always something wrong in every fight that he had," Syamsul said.

Will he still be fighting against El Vasco, Chris John said he hoped so, and right now he is concentrating on his fitness.

Chris had fought 12 times defending his title since he snatched it from Colombian Oscar Leon in Bali in 2003.

He injured his rib when training with a sparring partner, so that his fight with Fernando David Saicedo scheduled in Jakarta on July 26, 2010, was postponed until November.(*)

Maluku`s traditional sports expected to support tourism

Ambon, Maluku - Maluku Vice Governor Said Assagaff said traditional sports in Maluku should be developed to support the province`s tourism industry.

"Traditional sports are part of our culture and traditions and therefore they should be developed, preserved, and maintained to support the tourism industry in Maluku," Assagaff said here on Friday.

Assagaff made the statement at tha opening of the 7th National Traditional Sports Festival 2010 at Merdeka Square here.

According to him, traditional sports should be developed because they were not costly and easy to learn because they are part of the local people`s routine activities.

"The equipment used in Maluku`s traditional sports is easily to make because the needed raw materials are available everywhere," Assagaff said.

He said the coaching and the development of traditional sports in Maluku should be directed to education, cultural, and recreational elements.

Assagaff also encouraged the participants of the National Traditional Sport Festival 2010 to promote the upcoming international event of Sail Banda, scheduled to last from July 24 - August 17, 2010.

"I ask all components who take part in the National Traditional Sport Festival to promote Sail Banda 2010, because such an international marine event is intended to introduce our natural resources in Maluku," Assagaff said. (*)

Rossi defers comeback decision

Milan - MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi will decide on Wednesday whether he is fit enough for this weekend`s German Grand Prix after testing a bike for the second time since breaking his leg.

The Yamaha rider, who suffered the injury during practice for the Italian Grand Prix last month, had been expected to be out for at least three months but has made a remarkable recovery.

"I`m very happy with how it went. I`m a lot more in form than last week," the 31-year-old told reporters after testing a Superbike at Brno in the Czech Republic on Monday.
"Now I`ll have to wait to take a decision on Wednesday after we have some X-rays as to whether I race or not in Germany.

Doing a full race will be a different story, but I still have another couple of days to get a bit better."

The Italian first tested a Superbike last Wednesday at Italy`s Misano and took advantage of crews staying behind in Brno after Sunday`s Czech Superbike races to again try out his leg.

He turned up at the track on crutches but set decent times despite some pain in his shoulder and knee. Testing on MotoGP bikes during the season is banned.

The 31-year-old, linked with a move to Ducati next season with some reports saying an announcement could be made in Germany this weekend, had previously targeted a comeback at the Czech Grand Prix on Aug 15.

The nine-times motorcycling world champion has missed four races and is a distant seventh in the standings behind championship leader and Yamaha team mate Jorge Lorenzo. (Uu.A008/F005/P003)

Henry watches on as Red Bulls beaten

New signing Thierry Henry watched from the stands as the New York Red Bulls lost 2-0 at Columbus on Saturday, giving the Crew a five-point lead atop Major League Soccer's Eastern Conference.

Fittingly for a former Arsenal player, Henry is expected to make his first New York appearance in a friendly against old north London rivals Tottenham on Thursday.

Emilio Renteria ended Columbus' 245-minute goalless drought and put the Crew ahead in the 20th minute on a counter following Brian Carroll stripping possession from Juan Pablo Angel in midfield.

Carroll later scored his first goal since 2008 in the 48th minute with a strike from 25 yards.

It was New York's first loss in six MLS games, against its main Conference rival.[ Dallas 2, Real Salt Lake 0=

In Frisco, Texas, Brek Shea scored one and set up another as Dallas ended Real Salt Lake's 10-game MLS unbeaten streak.

Shea scored in the 69th minute, on a rebound from Milton Rodriguez's shot, knocking the ball into the far corner from the top left of the box. Colombia's Rodriguez was making his Dallas debut.

It was the first goal conceded in 566 minutes by Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando, who had five straight clean sheets.

Atiba Harris made it 2-0 in the 77th minute.

Dallas is unbeaten in six games and closed the gap on Western Conference second-placed Salt Lake to five points.[ Colorado Rapids 1, Kansas City Wizards 1=

In Commerce City, Colorado, Conor Casey scored in the 74th minute to salvage a home draw for Colorado against Kansas City.

Casey beat goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen with a left-footed shot from just outside the area for Colorado, whose winless skid reached five games. Casey has seven of Colorado's 17 goals this season.

Davy Arnaud scored in the 20th minute for Kansas City, which has gone seven games without a win in Colorado.[ Philadelphia Union 2, Toronto 1=

In Chester, Pennsylvania, Sebastien Le Toux converted a penalty deep in stoppage time to give Philadelphia a dramatic win over Toronto.

Maksim Usanov's handball led to Le Toux's goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time. He leads the Union with seven this season.

Toronto had looked like getting a share of the points when Chad Barrett scored in the 81st minute, 20 minutes after Michael Orozco Fiscal scored headed in a Le Toux corner to open the scoring.

It was the Canadians' first loss in nine games.

Team Indonesia Pumped Up for Games

After playing in a number of international tournaments this year, Grace Sari Ysidora is now ready to represent the country in the Youth Olympics next month.

“I’ll do my best to win any medal for the country,” Grace, Indonesia’s lone entry in tennis at the Singapore Games, said on Wednesday.

“I feel confident about my chances having participated in a lot of competitions overseas.”

While most local athletes have struggled to find the budget to compete abroad and hone their skills, Grace doesn’t appear to face such a problem, given how often she competes overseas in top-level tournaments.

The 17-year-old has played in 10 international events this year, including all three junior tournaments at the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon.

Her best result this season was a third-round appearance at the Australian Open and a semifinal finish at the ITF Junior Championships in Bangkok in March.

Her most recent tournament was at the Wimbledon junior championships, where she failed to get out of the first round after losing 7-5, 7-5 to 16th-seeded Russian Daria Gavrilova.

Grace, who was born in North Sumatra and comes from a wealthy family, said such an exposure not only has helped her to improve her game but has also strengthened her character.

“Playing overseas has also given me a chance to study the other players, as I’m sure most of them will also participate in the Youth Olympics,” said the world No.39, who has been training in Bandung for the Youth Olympics.

In badminton, men’s singles shuttler Evert Sukamta said he was looking forward to the Singapore Games.

“My focus right now is mental preparation,” said Evert, who qualified for the Youth Olympics after he reached the semifinal of the Asian Youth Under-19 Championships in Kuala Lumpur in April. “ I think my toughest opponents will all come from Asia. I’ve seen them all play so I’m ready.”

Evert is scheduled to play in two more tournaments before the Youth Olympics — the Singapore International Series on July 20-24 and the Indonesia International Challenge in Surabaya on July 27-31.

“The Singapore series will be a good warm-up for me because it’ll help me adjust to the court conditions there,” Evert said.

The Indonesian Olympic Committee (KOI) on Tuesday said it didn’t want to burden the national youth team with medal targets but just wanted them to enjoy the competition. The Indonesian squad is composed of 10 athletes fielded in seven sports.

However, KOI official Djoko Pramono said the country had a better chance at a podium finish in badminton and weightlifting.

He added that a lack of funding has forced the team to have a shorter training camp.

“The budget allotted for the training camp was only around Rp 120 million [$13,000] , so we couldn’t hold a much longer camp,” Djoko said.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian Weightlifting, Powerlifting and Bodybuilding Association (Pabbsi) said its two lifters — Zainuddin and Dewi Safitri — were ready to do the country proud.

Zainuddin, 16, came in as a replacement for Sumaryanto, who had qualified for the Youth Olympics after placing third at the Youth World Championships in Thailand last year.

However, Sumaryanto, 15, did not meet the international weightlifting federation’s minimum age requirement of 16 years old.

Some 3,600 athletes between 14 and 18 years old are expected to compete in the inaugural Youth Olympics on Aug. 14-18.
