Singapore archer Syahidah Alim loses 135-133 to Australia's Ameerah Lee in the Paralympics women's individual compound open round of 32 in Paris.SINGAPORE — Singapore's world No. 2 archer Syahidah Alim was off to a red-hot start at the Paralympics on Aug 30, scoring two maximum 10s in the individual compound open round-of-32 match against Australia's Ameera Lee.A wayward 5 to start the second end — each archer shoots five ends of three arrows — ultimately proved costly.
"I tried to focus on each shot and not dwell on that bad shot, even though it was challenging. The rain added an extra layer of difficulty to the competition. It got a lot colder, making it challenging to maintain consistency and mental focus with my shots." In Paris, she placed 11th out of 28 archers in the ranking round with a season-best score of 677 on Aug 29.
"I've also gained a deeper understanding of the level of preparation and consistency required to compete at the highest level. Moving forward, I'll be focusing on building my mental strength to ensure I'm ready for any situation that comes my way."
