Selepas tamat tempoh rayuan, Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) hari ini mengesahkan menerima rayuan membabitkan sebanyak 41 sukan bagi pertimbangan untuk disenaraikan pada Sukan SEA Kuala Lumpur 2017.
Setiausaha Kehormat MOM Datuk Low Beng Choo berkata, rayuan berkenaan dibuat menerusi Majlis Olimpik dan Persatuan-persatuan sukan negara peserta.
Beliau berkata demikian pada satu majlis sidang media di Wisma OCM di sini, hari ini.
“Rayuan yang diterima adalah 41 jenis sukan. Namun, sebilangan sukan tidak menyenaraikan acara yang hendak disenaraikan.
Selepas tamat tempoh rayuan semalam (31 Mac), kita menerima rayuan 114 acara membabitkan kategori lelaki manakala 100 lagi bagi kategori wanita selain lapan acara kategori campuran. Jadi, jumlah keseluruhan ialah 222 acara,” kata Low.
Persekutuan Sukan SEA (SGF), pada mesyuarat 24 Februari lepas, bersetuju sebulat dengan senarai awal 34 jenis sukan dan 342 acara yang dikemukakan, tetapi memberi masa sehingga akhir Mac bagi sebarang rayuan penyenaraian sukan atau acara.
SGF akan menentukan senarai muktamad sukan dan acara bagi Sukan SEA Kuala Lumpur 2017 pada Mesyuarat Majlis badan itu pada 13-14 Julai ini.
