Big dreams for young athletes

AS a small girl, Nur Ayuni Ibrahim used to admire her eldest sister Nor Shazaty Sakina’s shiny gold medals which she won for athletics. Now, the pint-sized nine-year-old from SK Pantai, Negri Sembilan aspires to win medals of her own, and has unsurprisingly chosen athletics under the One Student One Sport Programme at her school.

Nur Ayuni, the fourth among nine children in her family said, “I chose athletics because my coach V Sasitharan says I have good potential to excel in this sport.”
