41yo Kyrgyz archer gets into BBC's 100 Women 2016 list

AKIPRESS.COM - 1345489.1.1479718083 41-year-old archer from Kyrgyzstan Asel Sadyrova was included in BBC's 100 Women 2016 list.

Asel took up traditional archery four years ago when her husband died and discovered enough skill to compete.

"I used to think: 'I am a woman, I am a mother - I should be soft.' But now I feel strong and decisive," she said.

"The women on this year's list will bring you groundbreaking moments of defiance, new takes on fairy tales, stories of octogenarian cheerleading, and take you inside the world of e-gaming," BBC said.

Singer-songwriter Alicia Keys and American artistic gymnast Simone Biles are on the list, too.
