[娱乐] 体坛英语资讯:Feature: Kenyas archery champion hones her skills

[复制链接]

NAIROBI, Jan. 11-- At Kenya's Strathmore University shooting range, Shehzana Anwar hones her archery skills. The 26-year old Olympic archer sets up her equipment to shoot at her target, which is 70 meters away.

Anwar, who represented Kenya at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, does roadwork in the morning because her sport involves standing for long periods of time, and she needs stamina to be in tiptop shape. If fatigue creeps in, her shooting will suffer.

In between jogging, she does physical exercises, after which she heads straight to the shooting range. She breaks at midday and then practices her shooting until dusk.

During competitions she covers about 2km walking back-and-forth from the shooting line to the target.

During training, she shoots up to four times more than she would in competition, which means she could walk 8km in one day.

Anwar has a degree in psychology; something she says is very useful for her ambitions in archery.

"They are related. One is [the] study of the mind and the other [the] study of behavior. Plenty of mental training goes into archery. Lots of concentration is needed," Anwar said.

Anwar worked part-time until last year, but left her job after her five-week archery training in Turkey, where a professional archery coach thoroughly checked her equipment and gave her archery tips.

The coach checked Anwar's form, tuned her equipment and taught her new training methods to improve her shooting.
