Insiyaah, an all-round athlete par excellence

View(s):

Insiyaah Shakir Lukmanjee, a 9-year-old student of the British School in Colombo has turned out to be a versatile all-rounder. It all began at the Asian International School, where she was a past student as she started winning titles at their annual sports meet at track and field events. Her parents upon realising Insiyaah’s capabilities and her qualities of a future sportswoman took the initiative by providing her with ample support.

Insiyaah, herself as a kid, was a force to be reckoned with as she kept winning at athletics, swimming and karate events, only to achieve greater heights.
Her fleet of victories included the Under-8 Swimming Championship conducted by the Colombo Swimming Club, after which her love for swimming blossomed and she went on to win the Under-10 Girls freestyle relay event with her team mates at the recently held National Age Group Relay Championships 2013.
Insiyaah in 2012 proved that she can be more than a swimmer and an athlete when she won a silver medal in ballet dancing at the competition conducted by the Royal Dance Academy of London.

Through all this young Insiyaah has been intact with her academic commitments and was awarded a special endeavour prize for excellence in academics by the British School Colombo. With a well balanced outreach as an athlete, a swimmer, a karateka, a ballet dancer and a brilliant student, Insiyaah Shakir Lukmanjee hopes achieve more as she moves up in the ladder of life.
