Fresh-faced Syaqiera out to make the most of Olympics debut


ALREADY a competitive archer at a tender age of 10, Syaqiera Mashayikh grew up enjoying watching films such as “Brave” and “The Hunger Games” trilogy which feature sharpshooting female hero characters Princess Merida and Katniss Everdeen.

But come this Friday, the 20-year-old lass hailing from Medoi Felda settlement in Johor, will have her very own story to be told once she releases the first arrow from her recurve bow at Yumenoshima Park in Tokyo.
