PETALING JAYA: National pistol shooter Alia Sazana Azahari has ended the year as the second best in the Asian Shooting Confedera­tion rankings this year – a remarkable achievement considering that she had battled a serious medical issue.

The Malaysian finished below Vietnam’s Thu Vinh Trinh in the women’s 25m pistol while China’s Zhang Yueyue came in third as the curtain came down on the shooting competitions.
