: The dreams of Malaysian boccia player Noor Askuzaimey Mat Salim to make history as the first female player from the sport to reach the final stage of the Paralympic Games was dashed when she lost in the women’s individual BC4 semifinals here today.
The 2022 Hangzhou Asian Para Games champion however, still has an opportunity to achieve a remarkable success by becoming the first female athlete from the country to win a medal in boccia, even though she will be facing off against world number one from Colombia, Leidy Chica Chica, later today.Chica Chica was stunned by China’s Lin Xinmei who edged the Colombian 4-3 in the other semifinal match.
“The game today wasn’t unattractive because I think she played quite well. Perhaps the environmental factors of such a large event was quite challenging for her,“ he told Bernama in the mixed zone.
