PETALING JAYA: The awesome twosome.
That is what bowler Sin Li Jane is hoping to be called when she pairs up with Natasha Roslan at the World Games which will be held in Birmingham, the United States from July 7-17.
Despite being teammates for years, this will be Li Jane’s first experience of playing in the women’s doubles with Natasha.
She hopes they can hit the ground running by doing well in their first tournament together.
“I have confidence partnering Natasha as we have been practising together for a long time,” said Li Jane.
The event will also be her first international outing after the long layoff due to Covid-19.
However, Li Jane has not been idle during the pandemic.
“I continued with my training and workout routines even when there were no tournaments during that time,” she said.
“I’m excited and looking forward to compete in the World Games.
‘‘For now, I will stay focused and since this is my first tournament of the year, I just want to enjoy the journey.”
The 30-year-old from Perak added that she has been working hard to prepare for the Games.
“My daily routine is I will do some workouts to keep myself fit. Then I’ll head to the alley, practise my shots to make sure that there’s consistency in my game,” she explained.
The World Games is an international sports event held every four years, in the year following each Olympic Games.
Staged over 11 days, it will see the participation of more than 3,600 athletes from 100 countries where they will compete in more than 30 multi-disciplinary events.
