No recognition, no problem for seasoned shooter Alia


KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran national shooter Alia Sazana Azahari is unperturbed that the Asian record she set in the women’s 25m pistol event at the Asian Rifle-Pistol Cup in Bangkok last February was not recognised as a world record.

The 33-year-old athlete said she accepted the International Shooting Sport Federation’s (ISSF) decision with an open heart, as the tournament did not feature professional shooters from around the world.
