Shooters Exceed Targets
ISSF Grand Prix (Jakarta)
SSA Shoot (February)
NUS Invitational Shoot
February was an action-packed month for both past and present student-athletes of the Shooting Academy.
In Jakarta, where the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Grand Prix was held from 8 to 18 February 2022, sibling pairs – Marat Lleyton Veloso and Martina Lindsay Veloso (both alumni), and Adele Tan Qian Xiu (Alumna) and Fernel Tan Qian Ni (Diploma in Business Studies, Year 3) – each contributed a gold medal.
Two-gold Commonwealth Games champion Martina scored Singapore’s fifth gold medal at the 50m Rifle 3 Positions Women Individual after outscoring Indonesia's Diaz Kusumawardani 16-6 in the final. The other two gold medals were by Marat in the 10m Air Rifle Men Team and sisters Adele and Fernel in the 10m Air Rifle Women Team. Marat teamed up with partners Lionel Wong and Gai Tianrui, to capture a 16-14 victory over Bangladesh opponents, while Natanya Tan joined the sisters to win the gold-medal match 18-16 against Indonesia. Altogether, they took home 7 medals (3 gold, 1 silver, 3 bronze), contributing to almost half of the medal count won by Team Singapore.
The Grand Prix was a confidence booster for the four of them. “There are a lot of Southeast Asian countries here, and it's a nice opportunity to get used to the weather and just soak in the environment because there are no mock competitions or mini Southeast Asian championships in Vietnam, so I think this Grand Prix was a nice warm-up towards the SEA Games,” said Martina in an interview with Straits Times.
Back home, past and present student-athletes also punched above their weight at the SSA Shoot (February) held from 6 to 19 February, and National University of Singapore (NUS) Invitational Shoot held from 20 to 23 February.
Fernel continued her form to clinch the 10m Air Rifle Women Individual title in the two back-to-back competitions. Shirlene Hew Yun Ting (IBDP Year 6) also had an outstanding scorecard. She won a bronze in the SSA Shoot (February) 10m Air Pistol Women Individual event, followed by a gold medal at the NUS Invitational Shoot 10m Air Pistol Women School Individual event.
A whopping 21 medals – 11 gold, 4 silver and 6 bronze – were snapped up by our shooters at the NUS Invitational Shoot. The other gold medallists include Eston Soo Yin Teng, Jillian Su En-Yin, Ryan Sim Jia Le (all Secondary 3), Faithe Odelia De Souza, Mathius Chua Yao Wei, Soh Yi Wei (all Secondary 4), Au Yong Qing Yong (IBDP Year 5), Kevyn Loh Zheng Lin, Maxx Lee Yu Wei (both IBDP, Year 6), Tang Hong An, Teo Jia En (both Diploma in Business, Year 2), Emily Kek Jia Yi and Lenice Tan Yue Tong (both alumni).
