When it comes to sports, much attention is directed towards an athlete's physical prowess. It is widely believed that the stronger an individual's physique, the better their performance. Sporting events demand a considerable amount of physical strength, with athletes competing in various disciplines that require strength, speed, and agility to secure victory.

Despite the common notion that a large and robust physique is essential for success, smaller-bodied athletes can still excel and triumph. This was exemplified in a viral Facebook video featuring Nurelfira Umaira Mohd Yusuf, affectionately known as Fira, who made waves in Australia with her remarkable performance at an Athletics West sports championship.

Hailing from Pasir Puteh National School in Tawau, Sabah, Fira astounded spectators by outperforming competitors with more imposing physical attributes in the 200-meter hurdles and 110-meter hurdles events. Her rapid pace left other participants, reportedly from the host country, trailing behind. In the 200-meter hurdles, Fira executed a flawless run, crossing the finish line in 29.94 seconds without knocking down any obstacles.

Additionally, Fira set a flawless record of 13.46 seconds in the 80-meter hurdles event, navigating the course without a single stumble. The 12-year-old's swift performance garnered widespread acclaim, with many considering her the nation's emerging sports prodigy deserving of careful nurturing and support.

Numerous netizens praised Fira for her exceptional performance, urging her to maintain her impressive work. They also noted that Fira's performance illustrated the benefits of having a petite physique, as it enables agility and nimbleness, even while wearing a hijab.
