Two more earn the nod for Rio Paralympics

Syahidah Alim will be the first archer to represent Singapore at the Rio Paralympic Games from Sept 7 to 18 after she was given the nod by the Singapore National Paralympic Council (SNPC) yesterday.

The women's Open Compound gold medallist at the Asean Para Games last year will be joined in Rio by long jumper Suhairi Suhani, who won a silver at the Asean Games.
