The 18-year-old said:"At the start, I felt it was very boring but bo bian , they forced me so I just continued."
As coaches, the couple firmly believe that the sport can play a significant role in building one's character and developing traits such as self-control. "During my studies, I also focus better in class and in school; I've changed a lot. I'm more patient with my friends, I can tolerate more things." Adele, 23, and Fernel, 20, who both compete in the 10m air rifle, have gone head-to-head countless times in competitions and selection trials, but they do not hold back despite how close they are.
The biggest challenge of being siblings in the sport? Finding enough space in the car for their luggage when they travel for overseas competitions. Last year, as Adele was preparing for the Tokyo Olympics, Fernel agreed to be her companion during practice for a month-long training camp that saw them housed at the Singapore Sports School.
Recalling that moment, Marat, 19, said:"I was feeling nervous and anxious because I really wanted her to win a competition so I was emotionally involved even though I wasn't actually there. Both siblings hold junior black belts in taekwondo, while Marat was also a competitive swimmer and Martina tried synchronised swimming for a while.Having been in the sport for about a decade, Martina, a first-year communications undergraduate at the Singapore University of Social Sciences, often shares lessons she has picked up over the course of her career with her brother, like dealing with competing in high-level competitions as a newer shooter.
