Siti Nur Syafiqah makes right switch Posted: 03 Jun 2011 06:45 PM PDT Siti Nur Syafiqah Husin (right) and Nurul Ain Atiqah Rosli in action yesterday. — Picture by Osman Adnan. THERE is no denying that Siti Nur Syafiqah Husin was born to be an athlete. She started as an archer under the National Sports Council (NSC) talent identification project and barely a year after switching to judo, she combined with Nurul Ain Atiqah Rosli to win the women's kata gold for Johor yesterday in the Malaysia Games. Siti and Nurul, whose home state is Selangor, totalled 795 points to beat Selangor sisters, Low Er Zhen and Low Er Yie for the gold. "We just started this combination in January and last year Nurul Ain won a bronze in the Malaysia Games in Malacca with another partner, so this is such a surprise. We came here just targeting a medal," said Siti. The Tunku Mahkota Iskandar Sports School (formerly Bandar Penawar Sports School) fourth former who turned 16 on Feb 4, said her next target is to get selected for the Sea Games in Indonesia later this year. "We never expected to win the gold medal, but this is just reward for our hard work," she said. -- ARNAZ M. KHAIRUL Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

Syafiq and Siti stay in the hunt Posted: 03 Jun 2011 08:44 AM PDT 2011/06/03 By Ajitpal Singh The women's team after qualifying for the second block at the Singapore Open yesterday. FORMER national champion Syafiq Ridhwan and newly promoted elite bowler Siti Shazwani Ahmad Suhaimi were Malaysia's best performers in the men's and women's Masters first block at the Singapore Open yesterday. Syafiq, the Brunswick Euro Challenge finalist, posted lines of 218, 212, 204, 213, 194, 190, 226, 245 for a grand total of 1,702 pinfalls, averaging 212.75, to finish seventh in the men's section. Last year's Malaysia Open champion Adrian Ang was the second best performer by recording 1,657 to finish 11th ahead of compatriots Zulmazran Zulkifli (11th - 1,640), Daniel Lim (20th - 1,593) and former national bowler Kang Bo Long (21st - 1,592). Shaker Al Hassan and Khalid Al Dubyyan made it a 1-2 finish for UAE with 1,806 and 1,787 respectively. Singapore's former Asian Games gold medallist Remy One finished third on 1,783 ahead of Hong Kong's Wu Siu Hong (1,725). Syafiq, together with Zulmarzan, are in striking distance to qualify for the stepladder finals, involving the top four bowlers. However, they will need to push harder in today's Masters second round of eight games to make the top-four bracket. Siti Shazwani also produced a commendable performance to finish eighth with a 1,623 series ahead of Sin Li Jane (11th - 1.604), Jacqueline Jenelee Sijore (13th - 1,577), Hee Kar Yen (14th - 1,574), Siti Safiyah Amirah Abdul Rahman (15th - 1,572), Zatil Iman Abdul Ghani (16th - 1,569) and Zandra Aziela Ibrahim Hakimi (17th - 1,551) in the women's Masters first block. Singapore dominated the top three positions with Bernice Lim leading the field on 1,712 ahead of Daphne Tan (1,706) and Jazreel Tan (1,691) while Taiwan's Wang Ya Ting is fourth with 1,682.
