SINGAPORE - Winning a Paralympic medal has long been in Nur Syahidah Alim's cross hairs and her hopes of achieving that dream at next year's Tokyo Games received a boost after the Singaporean recently clinched the world No. 1 spot.
Syahidah, who made her debut at the 2016 edition and reached the quarter-finals in the open division, told The Straits Times on Sunday :"I feel very proud and honoured to bring Singapore to the top of the world in archery. Syahidah, who has a master's degree in knowledge management, has proven her ability at the highest level. In June, she held her nerve to beat Stretton in a shoot-off to win the Republic's first World Archery Para Championship gold."Training has been really intense preparing for the Asean Para Games and the Paralympics next year.
Keep going young lady...make us proud! Chase your dreams Nur Syahidah!
Congrats, Nur !
