Shuttlers’ giant-killing act can inspire archer Khairul to aim higher


Sharp as an arrow: South Korean Kim Woo-jin is the giant in Khairul’s way.

PETALING JAYA: National archer Khairul Anuar Mohamad will have to draw inspiration from shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik to clear the last-16 stage in the men’s recurve individual competition.

The 29-year-old faces two-time world champion Kim Woo-jin of South Korea, whom he had never beaten before, for a place in the quarter-finals at the Yumenoshima Park tomorrow. He has lost in all his four duels against the world No. 5 dating back to 2011.
