Nur Syahidah Alim of Singapore added another medal to her tally at the Asian Para Games, clinching silver in an archery event that saw her compete against familiar opposition from the subcontinent.
The Singaporean archer's second-place finish marks a strong showing at the regional para-sports competition, though she was unable to claim the top prize in her category.
Syahidah's path to the silver medal comes after a previous encounter with her Indian rival at the 2022 Asian Games, where the two archers met in the final. In that earlier matchup, Syahidah was edged out for gold by her Indian competitor, a result she will be hoping to overturn in future competitions.
The Asian Para Games continues to provide a competitive platform for elite para-athletes across the region, with archery among the sports showcasing the high calibre of talent among competing nations.
