Thank you Najmeh Khedmati for your effort.

She finished 8th

She was by far the youngest, competing with the big guys... I mean big girls.

Deserves respect.

Good effort. i believe she had technical difficulty with her gun. finishing in top 8 is not bad. great accomplishment.

^^that is in our favor. Now we have to take care of Egypt on Saturday and get the full 3pts. That would put us in next round.

All the young athletes who finish in the top 10 (outside of wrestling, weightlifting and tae kwan do) should hold their heads up high and know that within 4 years with proper funding, training and ELITE COMPETITION, they can come back in 2020 and compete to win a medal.
Hopefully the gedahs running the Sports Ministry realize this.
