LSBF Malaysia is celebrating the outstanding achievement of student athlete Erdina Mariah Hessly Hafiz, who secured three medals — gold, silver and bronze — at SUKMA 2026.
At just 18 years old, Erdina represented Selangor on the national sporting stage and delivered an exceptional performance across three rifle shooting events. The highlight of her campaign came in the Rifle 50m Prone Women’s Individual, where Erdina claimed the gold medal. She continued her success as part of the Selangor team, securing silver in the Rifle 50m 3 Position Women’s Team event and bronze in the Rifle 50m Prone Women’s Team event.
Three Medals in Her First SUKMA Appearance
Making the achievement even more significant, SUKMA 2026 marked Erdina’s first appearance at the competition.
SUKMA, or Sukan Malaysia, is Malaysia’s national multi-sport competition that brings together young athletes representing states across the country. Competing at this level requires not only sporting ability, but also discipline, consistency and the ability to perform under pressure.
Erdina demonstrated all three.
