No Kabaddi in Sukma

The SUKMA supreme council, in their meeting today has decided that there would be no new additions to the number of sports at the Games in Melaka in 2010.

This would mean that kabaddi would have to sit out of the Games once again. Kuala Lumpur emerged as the champions at this years edition of the Sukma in Kuala Terengganu where kabaddi was a demonstration sport.

It looks like the best that kabaddi can get in Melaka is another demonstration status.

The question now is whether the Kabaddi Association of Malaysia president Datuk Shahidan Kassim was going to remain. He had said that he would reconsider his position if kabaddi was not included as a competitive sport at the Melaka SUKMA.
