Malaysia’s challenge in archery at the 2024 Paris Olympics ended today after the last representative, Nurul Azreena Mohamad Fazil, was eliminated in the 1/32 elimination round of the women’s individual event.
The 20-year-old started the first set with a 27-29 loss, followed by nervousness in the next sets, losing 22-27 and 25-27.“I am quite frustrated…. Not satisfied with my shots. Insha-Allah, I can do better in the future,“ she told Bernama. Yesterday, young archer Ariana Nur Diana Mohamad Zairi, 19, gave a tough fight to 2022 world champion Chiara Rebagliati from Italy, before losing 5-6 through a shoot-off in another 1/32 elimination match. Meanwhile, national archery squad technical director, Lee Jae Hyung said the performance of the country’s archers is still far behind the world’s best archers, in addition to lacking preparation for the world’s biggest sporting event.
