Profile
- Nur Aini was diagnosed with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia at age six, a condition which impacted her bone growth and caused her to walk with a limp. She was first introduced to powerlifting in 2017 when national powerlifter Kalai Vanen approached her at the gym, and just two months later she was selected to compete at the ASEAN Para Games, becoming Singapore's first woman to represent the country in para powerlifting. At the 2023 ASEAN Para Games in Cambodia, she became the first Singaporean female para powerlifter to stand on the podium at the Games, winning two bronze medals in the Women's Up to 50kg category, one for Best Lift and one for Total Lift.
