LONDON: Buoyed by the spirit of the late Mohd Salam Sidik, archer Hasihin Sanawi powered his way to clinch a silver medal at the Paralympic Games here.

Hasihin was edged by Italy's Oscar de Pellegrin in a toe-to-toe shoot-off after they were tied 5-5 in the men's individual recurve W1/W2 final at the Royal Artillery Barrack near here.
