Shehzana Anwar has revolutionized the definition of archery for young sportsmen, particularly girls, in Kenya. She shares her story of her incredible journey to the Rio Games - a unique perspective from the country’s first female Olympic archer and flagbearer.
Popularly known as ‘Kuki’. Shehzana Anwar holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the United States International University and worked briefly in Human Resources after that. She loves sports and in particular archery which she’s been actively involved in since 2002, and representing Kenya internationally since 2005. Her talent, hard work and passion for the sport made her the first East African to ever compete as an Archer in the Olympic games, representing Kenya in ‘Rio 2016’ where she was the nation’s flagbearer. Today she is one of only 2 qualified beginner Archery coaches as well as the only coach trainer candidate in Kenya. Shehzana hopes to promote Archery as a sport in the country and believes as far as her achievements are concerned her journey has only began.
