Malaysia will not look to extend its Formula One contract when its current deal expires in 2018, according to the governments tourism and culture minister.In October it emerged Malaysian Grand Prix officials and government ministers were considering dropping the event due to falling attendances, with the New Straits Times reporting a 10 percent reduction year on year. The 2016 edition only saw a 60 percent capacity crowd and what local media reported to be the lowest TV viewing figures since the event joined the calendar in 1999.With the money required to host the event continuing to rise, minister Nazri Abdul Aziz says the circuit will not be seeking a contract extension after 2018.The current agreement is from 2016 to 2018. So once that ends, there will be no more [F1], Aziz told local media. F1 attendance is dropping and there is less attraction now. We are spending RM 300 million a year [$97 million].The cost of hosting F1 has increased 10-fold compared to the first time it was held.By contrast to the F1 race, the popularity of the Moto GP event in Malaysia has grown in popularity in recent years.?Aziz also said Malaysia has not produced enough F1 drivers in the years it has hosted the race. Alex Yoong, who competed in 12 races for Minardi between 2001 and 2002, remains the nations only Formula One driver. Adrian Dantley Jersey .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Just two weeks ago Neymars commitment to the Olympic team was questioned by Brazils fans.Now hes a national hero -- and an Olympic champion.Neymar buried the winning kick of a penalty shootout against Germany on Saturday night at Maracana Stadium, sending all of Brazil into a boisterous celebration. The cheering could be heard down Rios famed Copacabana Beach, where fans yelled out Campeoes! Champions!Neymar sunk to the field on his knees as his teammates engulfed him. He lay on the ground for several long moments while they celebrated, sobbing.This is one of the happiest things that have happened to me, he said moments later.It was Brazils first gold medal and it came on home soil. For Neymar, it was a seminal moment.Some were already asking whether Neymars name should be added to the list of Brazils greats, joining the Pele, Zico and the phenomenon Ronaldo.Brazil coach Rogerio Micale essentially said it was too soon to put Neymar in that realm, suggesting his next step is a World Cup title.But he nonetheless had great praise for the charismatic 24-year-old striker who plays for Barcelona and is considered among the best current players in the world. Neymar has been an integral part in Barcelonas recent success, along with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.Hes a leader on the national team. Dedicated, Micale said through a translator. Now that weve finished this tournament, I have the best possible impression of Neymar. The whole team does.The mens soccer tournament attracted most of the attention of Brazilian fans at the Olympics. The countrys football federation took the Olympic tournament very seriously, bringing Neymar and many talented youngsters who are expected to be in the main squad in the 2018 World Cup in Russia.Neymar eschewed the Copa America to focus on the Rio Games. The mens Olympic tournament is contested among under-23 teams, but they can each bring three players from the senior national team.Still, the Olympics started disastrously for the hosts. Brazil struggled with scoreless draws against South Africa and Iraq was even in danger of missing out on the knockout round.Neymar was heavily criticized by soccer-crazy Brazilians who saw the womens natioonal team, and particularly star Marta, off to a fast start in contrast.ddddddddddddThere were fans who crossed off Neymars name on their No. 10 jerseys and wrote in Marta instead. Neymar was taunted with fans shouting Martas name at his matches, while Marta was honored with fans chanting Better Than Neymar! at hers.With Neymar at captain, Brazil turned its tournament around. First came a decisive 4-0 victory over Denmark to close out the group, followed by a 2-0 victory over Colombia in the quarterfinals.Neymar really made it known that Brazil was back with a 6-0 victory over Honduras in the semis. He had two goals -- including one only 15 seconds into the match for the fastest goal in Olympic history.We needed to respond to the Brazilian people. Say something to the people and to the football community, by doing something different, Micale said. We did that. We won. Were skilled and competent. We responded as necessary and we did this in the short time that was available to us.As for the comparison with Marta, that was unfair. Marta is considered one of her sports greatest players ever: She is a five-time FIFA World Player of the Year.Thats just a part of the Brazilian culture, Micale said. Thats the way we are. We love and hate from one day to the next. We go to extremes. People go back and forth. But Im truly happy to be a Brazilian.Saturday nights victory was not only Neymars redemption, it was a nations.It came two years after an embarrassing 7-1 home loss to Germanys senior team in the World Cup semifinals at home. Brazil was also coming off a demoralizing elimination in the group stage of this years Copa America.Neymar was on the World Cup team but didnt play against Germany because of a back injury sustained in the quarterfinals against Colombia.With his penalty kick in the Olympic final, Neymar helped ease some of that lingering bitterness. He also countered the doubters who dogged him early in the games.We went through difficult moments in the beginning of the competition, we were criticized, he said, and we answered on the field, with soccer.
