Bowler Natasha seeks more wins to reach peak of ABF rankings

PETALING JAYA: Natasha Roslan has set her sights on taking over as the No. 1 ranked bowler in the Asian Bowling Federation (ABF) rankings.

“I am trying to reach No. 1 in the ABF rankings although it is a challenge for me,” said Natasha.

The 26-year-old is currently second in the rankings and needs to win as many ABF-sanctioned tournaments as possible to achieve her goal.

Natasha gave an outstanding performance to win the singles gold medal in the World Championship last year.

“I would like to maintain my performance from last year by focusing on my training and performance during tournaments.

“I want to be a better player and get a podium finish for any major tournaments this year.

“Discipline and consistency will be important.’’

Despite the challenges that can arise during the fasting month, Natasha remains unfazed, citing her previous experience in training during this period.

“So far, I have not faced any challenges during the fasting month because this is not my first year of training during this time. We also had a tournament last year during the fasting month,” said Natasha.

To enhance her overall fitness during the fasting month, she sticks to her regular gym sessions three days per week and incorporates some light jogging before breaking fast.

Her next tournament is the 27th Asian Championship in Thailand in September.

“For this year, the Asian Championship is crucial because we have to roll off to select the team members.

“If I am selected, my target is to finish on the podium in both the team and individual events,” said Natasha.
