National fencer
Kiria started fencing at eight and has been on the national team since 13. She won the women’s epee final at the Southeast Asia Games (SEA Games) (2019), bringing home the first gold medal for Singapore in the event since 1989.
“The competition was extremely challenging! There was an Olympian participating, and I did not have the home crowd advantage. Winning the gold medal, while pursuing my studies, was a highly fulfilling personal best for me, and a historical achievement for our sport where we flew the Singapore flag high.”
