Syaqiera, 20, lost 6-4 to the Russian Olympic Committee’s (ROC) Elena Osipova at the Yumenoshima Park Archery Field.

She got off to a promising start when she won the first set 26-25 to go 2-0 up but Elena hit back to win the second set 28-26 to make it 2-2.

The two archers drew the next two 26-26 and 25-25, leaving them tied at 4-4.

In the decider, Syaqiera and Elena each shot a nine with their first arrow before the ROC archer edged ahead to a 19-18 lead on the second arrow.

Elena then confirmed her place in the next round when she shot a 10 to win 29-23 for a 6-4 triumph.

Last Friday, Syaqiera caused a sensation by finishing in 43rd spot after collecting 630 points to improve on her previous best of 619 points achieved at the final Olympic qualifier in Paris last month.

With Syaqiera’s exit, all eyes will now be on Khairul Anuar Mohamad, who faces Antti VIkstrom of Finland in the first round of the men’s individual recurve at the same venue tomorrow.
