Alia fires back but it’s too late to reach final

A STRONG fightback came a little too late for national pistol shooter Alia Sazana Azahari, but she will leave the Asian Games with some positives after her rapid-round display.

The 34-year-old finished 19th in the 25m pistol qualifying with 574 points, a marked improvement on Sunday’s precision stage, where she was 37th with 280.
