Triple delight for Alif

BKSP student Abdur Rahman Alif continued to shine against seniors as the 10th-grade student of Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan (BKSP) clinched gold in men's recurve event of Bangabandhu 12nd National Archery Championships in Cox's Bazar yesterday.

Alif, who came into the limelight after beating Ruman Sana in the semifinals on way to winning the gold medal in the Victory Day Archery tournament in December, beat national archer Hakim Ahmed Rubel 7-3 to win back-to-back gold medals.

It was also triple delight for Alif who, pairing with his BKSP teammates grabbed gold in the recurve team and mixed events to help BKSP finish behind Dhaka Army Archery Club (DAAC), who topped the table with five gold and two silver medals.

Mehenaj Akter Monira of DAAC beat Najmin Khatun 6-0 in the final to win the women's recurve gold medal before grabbing women's recurve team gold along with Nasrin Akter and Rabeya Akter.
