Nil Mısır (born 1987) is a Turkish Paralympian archer competing in the Women's compound bow W1 event.[1][2]

Private life

In 2002, Mısır fell down from the fifth floor of her apartment in Fatih, Istanbul. She became paralyzed due to paraplegia and reliant on a wheelchair.[2]

Sports career

Her sports career began when a major Turkish newspaper reported about her life story. She drew the attention of coach Ebru Öztürk Esen of the Turkey Paralympic Sports Federation.[1] Mısır is a member of Olçular Vakfı S.K. in Istanbul.[3]

At the 2022 World Para Archery Championships in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, she won two silver medals: one in the Women W1 event,[4] which is the first achievement of her country in this discipline,[5] and another one in the Women W1 Doubles event together with her teammate Fatma Danabaş.[6]
