Paragliders trying out the new route during a practise session at the Lohan Hills in Ranau, where the 2nd Paragliding Accuracy World Cup Sabah will take place beginning today (Mar 17).
RANAU March 17, 2012: Defending champion, Matjaz Ferarci, is in to defend his title against 65 paragliders in this year’s Paragliding Accuracy World Cup Sabah which begins today.
The Slovenian, who just turned 53 about four days ago, is also second in the world ranking. He is in the state after a paragliding trip in Indonesia earlier this week.
Held on the hilly area in Kampung Lohan, here, about 120 kilometres from Kota Kinabalu, it is considered as a sport for the future which has great potential in the sport tourism product for Sabah.

JAKARTA, 21 Nov (Bernama) -- Malaysia mempertahankan pingat emas acara bola sepak Sukan SEA ke-26 selepas menundukkan Indonesia 4-3 melalui sepakan penalti setelah terikat 1-1 dalam perlawanan penuh 90 minit dan masa tambahan.

KUALA LUMPUR 2011/07/30: AirAsia chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes is plotting a £100 million (RM486 million) move to buy English club Queens Park Rangers (QPR).
British tabloid DailyMail yesterday reported the multi-millionaire businessman, who is team principal for Formula One outfit TeamLotus, is confident of striking a deal to take control of the English Premier League club.
QPR co-owner Bernie Ecclestone has said £100million would be enough to take over the west London club.
Ecclestone holds a 62 per cent share and although business partner Flavio Briatore has an option to buy the shares if the former decides to sell, it is believed the pair have given Fernandes the go-ahead.
The club’s other shareholder, steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, failed to secure Ecclestone’s shares after refusing to meet the asking price.
A QPR statement confirmed “preliminary discussions” had taken place over the sale.
West Ham fan Fernandes lost out to David Gold and David Sullivan in his bid to buy the Hammers in January last year but claimed earlier this year that he was still looking to invest in the club.
Fernandes,when contacted, declined to comment.

KOTA KINABALU 2011/06/13: Two major events were held in Sabah over the weekend, bringing together paragliders and bikers from all over the world.
The presence of 62 world-class paragliders and 500 big bikers can only do good for the tourism industry in the state.
In Ranau, the Paragliding Accuracy World circuit championship was held in the Lohan Hills with participants from 11 countries.
Along the west coast, 500 big bikers from 10 countries converged with their roaring machines for the 12th Borneo Island International Big Bike Festival.
Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun yesterday said the two events helped in many ways to push the state further in tourism .
"These are people who will go back to their place and pass on by word of mouth, at the very least, to others on what Sabah has to offer as a tourism destination.
"To me, their presence here not only helps generate economic spin-offs but can potentially bring in more visitors into our state in the future," said Masidi of the participants who were here from as early as the middle of last week and those who were still in the state on holiday.
The majority of the paragliders were still in Ranau and were due to fly off from the rockface of the 4,095m Mount Kinabalu peak today.
During the paragliding competition, the fifth leg of a seven-circuit challenge, Kerin Rafael, from Slovenia, emerged as champion in the men's event edging Quiang Sheng Guang of China into second place and also defeating Fereric Matjaz, another Slovenian, who is currently ranked number one in the world.
In the women's category, Indonesians Rosnia Dian, Sirin Milawati and Bonaria Cherry made a clean sweep of the top three spots respectively.
Paragliders are required to jump from an elevation of about 200m and land on or closest to a small one metre square box as a measure of their accuracy.
The challenge was based on six jumps.
Meanwhile, participants in the big bike festival were feted to a grand welcome by Mayor Datuk Abidin Madingkir at the City Hall.
A series of novelty challenges such as the loudest bike, the slowest moving bike, the dirtiest and the best looking bikes were also held, attracting a huge crowd at Lintasan Deasoka over the weekend. They had also toured, on their bikes, several districts in the west coast such as Kota Belud, Tuaran, Kudat and Kota Marudu during their stay.
The participants were from countries such as the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, Canada and Brunei.
Laporan Bercanggah Paksa Ahmad Shabery Turun Padang Ke Ranau
KEMAMAN, 3 Feb (Bernama) -- Menteri Belia dan Sukan Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek akan turun padang dalam masa terdekat ini untuk meninjau Kompleks Sukan Ranau di Sabah ekoran percanggahan laporan mengenai kemudahan yang terdapat di sana.
Ini berikutan laporan berbeza yang diterima oleh kementerian daripada Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM) dan laporan akhbar memetik Lembaga Sukan Negeri Sabah (LSNS).
Sebelum ini, KOAM telah mengambil keputusan untuk menjadikan kompleks berkenaan sebagai lokasi pilihan latihan persiapan 15 atlet dan lima jurulatih olahraga ke Sukan SEA 2011 di Indonesia, November ini.
"Saya difahamkan KOAM buat taklimat kepada kementerian semuanya telah selesai...tetapi saya dengar laporan yang bercanggah, tetapi saya tidak boleh bergantung apa yang dipaparkan dalam akhbar.
"Oleh sebab itu saya sendiri akan ke sana untuk melihat sendiri kemudahan yang ada dan kenapa perlu diadakan di sana berbanding di Kuala Lumpur," katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui pada majlis rumah terbuka Tahun Baru Cina di Kampung Tengah, di sini, Khamis.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas mengenai laporan berbeza yang diberikan oleh KOAM dan LSNS mengenai status pembinaan Kompleks Sukan Ranau.
Ahmad Shabery berkata sekiranya kemudahan di kompleks itu masih belum siap sepenuhnya maka kemungkinan latihan atlet olahraga itu akan dijalankan di Kompleks Sukan Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.
Sebelum ini, laporan akhbar memetik Pengurus Besar LSNS, Mahmood Kalong sebagai berkata kompleks sukan itu masih tidak dilengkapi kemudahan asas seperti bekalan air, elektrik dan jalan raya manakala gimnasium tidak terdapat dalam pelan pembinaan itu.
Kompleks itu mula dibina pada 2007 dan hanya akan siap sepenuhnya pada April ini.
Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM) untuk mengadakan program latihan atlet dengan kos RM3 juta di Kompleks Sukan Ranau, Sabah ditolak Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), semalam.
Ketua Pengarah, Datuk Zolkples Embong berkata, tempat latihan dikemukakan badan induk sukan olahraga itu tidak sesuai kerana daripada segi geografi, Ranau bukan kawasan tanah tinggi yang sesuai untuk latihan atlet acara trek.
“Kami tidak mahu bazirkan peruntukan kerajaan untuk program yang tidak memberi kesan kepada pembangunan semua atlet,” katanya mengulas perkembangan cadangan KOAM untuk mengadakan program latihan di luar Kuala Lumpur bagi persiapan menghadapi Sukan Sea di Indonesia.
Beliau berkata, atlet olahraga perlukan pertandingan berbentuk kompetitif dan bukannya menjalani latihan di luar Kuala Lumpur.
Zolkples berkata, MSN akan berhati-hati menyalurkan peruntukan kewangan kepada KOAM selepas badan olahraga itu didapati beberapa kali menggunakan peruntukan tidak mengikut cadangan MSN.
“Tahun lalu MSN menyalurkan peruntukan besar kepada KOAM bagi program pembangunan atlet tapi digunakan untuk menghantar atletnya bertanding di luar negara,” katanya.
Katanya, MSN menyalurkan peruntukan khas kepada KOAM untuk membeli peralatan bantuan sukan namun mereka tidak membuat pembelian itu dan wang tidak dikembalikan kepada MSN.
“Saya kecewa dengan kenyataan KOAM mendesak atlet yang masih belajar menyertai program sedangkan ada di antara mereka perlu menghabiskan pengajian tahun ini selepas tujuh tahun menangguh pengajian.
“Tahun ini atlet tidak ada banyak kejohanan penting dan inilah masa mereka menghabiskan baki pengajian di institut pengajian tinggi sebelum kembali sibuk dengan kejohanan sukan tahun depan,” katanya.
Tahun depan atlet negara perlu memberi sepenuh perhatian kepada persiapan menghadapi temasya Sukan Olimpik London, katanya.

MAAU To Send 72 Athletes For High Altitude Training Stint In Ranau
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Amateur Athletics Union (MAAU) plans to send 72 national athletes, identified for the 2011 SEA Games, for a high altitude training stint in Ranau, Sabah starting next month.
MAAU deputy president Karim Ibrahim said the first of a four-phase training camp to prepare athletes for the SEA Games would comprise 50 elite athletes and those from the back up squad.
"The training in Ranau will be divided into four phases and each phase will be for a duration of between two to three months, depending on the requirement.
"The training will be followed by competitions to test the performance of the athletes under training," he told reporters after a periodisation workshop held at the National Sports Council and attended by 72 national coaches from all levels.
Karim said the first phase of training in Ranau would focus on long distance runners and walkers.
"The programmes in Ranau will be conducted by coaches Ithnin Mahadi, Istiaq Mubarak, Mohd Man Sahar and Harun Rasheed," he said.
Commenting on athletes who had claimed that training in Ranau would interrupt their academic schedule, Karim said their respective coaches would draft their programmes without clashing with their studies.
"But don't simply claim that going to Ranau will affect their studies but when the same athletes are recommended for overseas stints, they are willing to put their studies on hold," he said.
Karim said the programme aimed at producing favourable results in the SEA Games would however, depend on the financial approval from the National Sports Council, since the MAAU expect the cost to reach about RM3 million.
"MAAU had sent the proposal to NSC on Dec 10, 2010 and we are waiting for a favourable reply. If the NSC does not approve the budget, then the MAAU will have to look for an alternative option. But the NSC should not point fingers at us if the athletes don't perform well in Indonesia," he said.
"If we have been sending our athletes to train at high altitude places like Kunming, China in the past, why not train at our own high altitude place which will certainly save cost because it will be much cheaper."

Belia Sabah Mahu Digunakan Gelaran Harimau Malaysia Bukan Harimau Malaya
TUARAN, 30 Dis (Bernama) -- Belia di Sabah teruja dengan skuad bola sepak Malaysia menjuarai Piala AFF Suzuki 2010, tetapi mahu gelaran "Harimau Malaya" yang dirujuk kepada skuad itu digantikan dengan "Harimau Malaysia".
Ramai belia di Sabah dikatakan tersinggung dengan ungkapan Harimau Malaya yang sering digunakan oleh pihak media.
Pembantu Menteri Belia dan Sukan Sabah, Datuk Jahid Jahim berkata ramai golongan belia di Sabah menghubungi beliau yang mengadu tersinggung dengan pihak media yang sering merujuk pasukan Malaysia dengan gelaran Harimau Malaya atau Singa Malaya.
"Saya lihat memang ada asas mereka berperasaan begitu kerana ia tidak melambangkan semangat 1Malaysia yang diilhamkan oleh Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. Sepatutnya perkataan Harimau Malaysia yang digunakan," katanya kepada pemberita di sini Khamis.
Jahid yang juga Ketua Pemuda Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) berharap media nasional terutama pengarang sukan sentiasa bertanggungjawab dan mengambil kira sensitiviti peminat bola sepak di Sabah khususnya golongan belia berhubung penggunaan perkataan Malaya yang jelas maksudnya secara literal, tidak membabitkan Sabah dan Sarawak.
"Walaupun penggunaan perkataan Harimau Malaya yang merujuk kepada pasukan Malaysia yang memenangi Piala AFF Suzuki itu hanya perkara kecil, namun ia bercanggah dengan aspirasi dan semangat 1Malaysia," katanya.
