Archer Akmal braces for shootout with upstart


PETALING JAYA: Archer Mohd Akmal Nor Hasrin (pic) admits he has his work cut out to keep his place in the country’s regular three – and a chance to feature in his second straight Olympics next year.

Despite being the national No. 2 to Khairul Anuar Mohd, Akmal is feeling the heat as he faces fierce competition from teammates, the third-ranked Haziq Kamaruddin and fourth-ranked Zarif Syahiir Zolkpeli since late last year.
