Chen Jie guns for glory at Asian meet after breaking national mark
The 20-year-old fired down two gold medals in the 10m air rifle on Friday and 50m rifle three position on Thursday at the National Shooting Range in Subang Jaya but it was her performance in the shorter distance that won admiration.
She shattered the national record in the qualifying event with a score of 627.3 points, surpassing the previous mark of 627.0 set by Shahera Rahim Raja in 2019.
In the thrilling final, she scored 246.5 points to edge out Perak's Nor Ayla Aqila Mahathir (245.7).
In the 50m rifle three positions, she amassed 445.8 to comfortably finish ahead of Alia Husna Budruddin (438.5) and veteran Nur Suryani Taibi (426.4).
'I'm truly honoured and grateful to break both the senior and junior (rewrote her own mark of 626.9) national records in the 10m air rifle event,' said an elated Chen Jie.
'The achievement in the Tun Tan Siew Sin Trophy gives me extra motivation to keep improving and stay focused on my goals,' said the Sarawak Malaysia Games (Sukma) seven-gold medal winner.
'I know there's still a long way to go, but I'm ready to keep pushing.'
Besides the Asian meet, Chen Jie is also to qualify for this year's SEA Games in Thailand.
'I hope I can stay on the right track and maintain this momentum all the way to qualify for the SEA Games.'
'It's all about consistency, and I also try to handle the pressure by focusing in the process rather than comparing myself to others.'
